True enough.  A century ago the existence of "races" was so obvious
to people that they had to find solutions.  Today we know that
genetically there is no such thing as "race,"  and that we all have
an instinctive tendency to fear and hate anyone who looks different
than we do.  That is the basis of racism.
When a person is desperately awaiting an organ for an organ transplant,
doctors know they must have an organ from a donor who is genetically
as close as possible, or the organ will be rejected by the body.
It is not unusual that the donor whose organ is genetically
closest to that of the donee is from another "race."
Take any two African gorillas from different social groups, and
you will find more genetic 'distance' than you find between
any two humans _anywhere on earth_.  "Race' is a fiction based
on trivial physical characteristics that trigger our instinctive
hatred of people outside of our tribe.
There is a modern explanation for this xenophobia, this instictive
need to support the Cowboys versus the Broncos, this instinctive
hatred of people with slanted eyes or chocolate skin, or a language
we don't understand: no one can survive alone on the savannah or
the forest, but a group can survive quite well.  So those who
instinctively formed groups were those who survived.
