To offer a perspective on how little differences there are between races of human beings, humans and chimpanzees have something like 96% the same DNA.

Alternatively, to see how much difference a small DNA divergence can make consider the fact that you are 96% of the way to being a chimp.

The biggest difference between humans and chimps is we have 23 chromosomes, and chimps have 24.  Chromosome 2 in humans is a single chromosome.  In all other primates, including Neaderthals, Chromosome 2 is two separate chromosomes.  We have a mutation that merged the two chromosomes together.
