The first human being stood on his feet in Ethiopia, and from there he traveled to Iran and Iraq, where he hunted and farmed in those lands for the first time. With the extermination and the violent or more or less peaceful fusion with them, all vestiges of the concept of human races ended.

Now we are all Sapiens, and we live in the Holocene. Some people still carry genetic remains of Neanderthals in their DNA, but it is better to keep to yourself, according to anthropologist Yuval Harari, lest racists come later saying that those who have Neanderthal genes are better or those who do not. Charles Darwin did not mean that the strongest would be the most empathetic, nor the most ethical of the surviving specimens. If we are champions in anything, it is in our flexibility to adapt. More or less, as Darwin proclaimed in his time, the person who adapts best to the environment will be the strongest. We went through a pandemic that took away many people, and it seems that we learned nothing about self-destruction.
