You are right to some extent, minus the timeline and the need for the bible to be introduced. Different races stem from mutation and isolation of genes. Geography plays a large part in having separated people of various races for long periods of time allowing them to develop distinct physical features over time. Over time, long periods of time (not 4,000 years) being the operative phrase here... Edited by Hyroglyphx, : No reason given.

It's not that cut and dry. Some information in the genome is deleted, some genes are recessive (meaning certain traits will show up later down the line), others are gained by mutations which later become fixed in subsequent populations, etc, etc. When it comes to how things evolve, there isn't any one reason.
Obviously not. Marsupials mainly became isolated. Some still remain in places like North America (possums are marsupials) and also placental mammals like raccoons (closely related to marsupials).
Is that a joke? Are you being facetious? Isn't Homo sapiens sapiens like the 3rd or 4th wave of the Homo Species to branch out and occupy the globe?[/qs] Pretty much. There are other subdivisions that formed from isolation, but Homo Sapiens weren't the only game in town.
Actually humans and neanderthals assimilated. They weren't so much out-competed as they were bred out of existence. There's an excellent chance that you have neanderthals in your family tree, as do I. "Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from mistaken conviction." – Blaise Pascal
