Yes, there are genetic differences among human populations, but they're very small (albeit they can create seemingly large differences), but those differences are very much in reach of us all, i.e. if any one population were to live under the same conditions that created another populations characteristics, they would change accordingly. And it's not just between "races", i.e., black, white, asian... within those "races" are genetic differences amoung populations that could set them more genetically different than that of another population of another "race". http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/journ...netic-odyssey/

Probably not anytime soon http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonentin...ould-all-care/

Seems the East Africans have a lock on that and the West Africans have a lock on sprinting. A white person can beat an East African in a sprint and a West African in a distance run, we seem to be somewhat of a hybrid between the two, but I guess that doesn't help
