The concept of "race" as defined by biologically isolated strains of the same species is a myth, since it has been observed that the genetic and biological differences among humans throughout the globe are continuous and not discreet. Consequently, no matter how you try to divide people into sub-categories, you always need to make new categories, and the process basically fails. Go to north of India, some people over there look like Caucasians. Some have green eyes, a pointy nose and light brown hair. Go to South America, some of the natives there look the same as those in South East Asia. There is no way to classify them. A more appropriate term in alternative to "race" is "people groups."

Evolutionists believe that the closest human race to homo sapiens sapiens is homo sapiens neanderthalis, but even then, they have found some skeletons that are in-between the two. From analyzing mitochodrial DNA from the Neanderthals, however, they consider them to be remotely related the the sapiens sapiens, (although I think they may be wrong and many anthroplogists disagree among themselves). Anyway, I'm a creationist of course and I believe all humans descend from Noah.
