That would have been the moment when all other humanoids disappeared in a mass extinction.
Only the three racial stocks of the present seven genetically different types of humans now roam the earth.
Absolute pseudoscience rubbish.
There was no mass extinction of other hominids. Populations dwindled and competition and absorbtion slowly pushed the remaining several species into extinction in different durations.
There are no raciial stocks, as A.W.f. Edwards pointed out.
Edwards showed that using 63 physical traits you would classify Eskimos closer to Swedes and French populations than Eskimos are to North American Indians, with North American Indians closer to Swedes, French, and Eskimos than they are to South American Indians. Similar errors were observed with other populations, such as linking Australian aborigines with sub-Saharan Africans. In the same paper published in 1964, he and Cavalli-Sforza showed a tree based on 20 genes did not match the tree based on physical featutres.
"Race" is a superficial attribute not based on genetics. There are not, not have there ever been "three racial stocks" or "seven (your numerology popping into it again) genetically different types of humans."

This would imply that the "flood" was really a major population explosion of modern man, an Out-of-Africa emmigration, which lasted 40,000 years of "days and nights" is factually what happened.
All other man-types disappeared, and modern man flooded the earth to the tops of the mopuntains.
Very, very wrong.
The "out of africa" theory (now doubted by its originator, Chris Stringer) desribes many migrations taking place from 150,000-200,000 years.
40,000 years of "days and nights ago"(whatever that is supposed to mean) is not a factually accurate despription of the theory.
Neither did modern man "flood to the tops of the mountains" (some reference to a global flood I presume?). Populations were quite dispersed which is why it took tens of thousands of years before other hominids went extinct even after the proposed out of Africa events.

Re: Bones of 22 extinct humans and the flood
In order for this scale to be correct, the human head would have to be significantly smaller than what it is.
Those dimensions do not reflect human anatomy whatsoever.
