I will look up some of that stuff when I come back. ;)

As for the advancement of society happend around a range of 4000 years starting in Asia (and the lack of belief in evolution). The most powerful religions which still have a hold on us today are in Asia. Before that was the hold of evolution took millions of years and  thousands (for humans) of years to take hold. Those were prehistoric times though. It's just like the Native Americans, which some say after the great migration from Sibera, going through mixture and evolution before following the wooly mammoth through the bering straight (ice bridge connecitng Russia and Alaska) and thats how they reached America. 

What we know as humans (ourselves) or homosapien sapien, have only had an evolution of technology. The evolution of ideas, science, culture, laws (moral code), religion, technology and, etc are the reason why we are where we are today, but people today could've just as easily existed 4000 years ago since there was no evolutionary change since we became what we are currently.

This is absolutely factually wrong.

Evolution is on-going, though diminishing with modern man because we are less isolated societies today.

Every modern race of man is an example of evolution.  We all evolved from a similar (essentially the same) DNA out of Africa, which evolved as groups migrated and became isolated in communities.  Those small groups developed unique genetic material creating our divergent races. 


 I agree that we're still evolving, but we have not seen many changes since becoming homo sapien sapien outside of neanderthal mixture and environmental adaptation. Since we had become accustomed to said climate, how much of a change have you seen? It takes thousands of years of evolutionary change to see results. This is one of the main reasons why I said there has not really been a change. I doubt highly from what i've learned that there was a difference between us 4000 years ago and today when civilization was first coming into written existence.

Human beings aren't races, as you well described  by stating our DNA changed as we became isolated and gained unique genetic material (also attributed to environment) we became different phenotypes. 

There is no 100% fact, just what we're finding out and there will be more findings in the future. Science accepts its flaws.  We are constantly learning from one another. If we didnt have one another, we wouldn't be where we are today. Intercultural exchange.
