Of course this all relies on the belief in Evolution, Humans from different areas of the world evolved from different *extinct* breeds of Monkey/Apes ect ect.

This is factually wrong.
DNA evidence was collected from every distinct group of human being and the DNA evidence points directly to 2-3 out of Africa movements by Homo sapiens.
One migratation route was North-East, toward the Caucasus Mountains. This group eventually died out.
The second group migrated toward India, then through Indonesia, Malaysia, and into Australia. This group still retains a very distinctive look and exists in all the regions.
The third migration of out of Africa settled in the central plans of Asia, in what is today Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Kyrgyzstan. From this region, groups of people migrated down to toward the Indian Ocean settling central Asia, then migrating farther north and east up through China, and Mongolia. Eventually people from this group would cross the Bering Straits into North America and then into South America roughly 15-12,000 years ago. In addition, another group migrated north from central Asia into what is now Russia. From this group, two distinct migrations happened, one went north which eventually became Scandinavian people (the Vikings), the other when south into central Europe to form the Celts, which eventually became a whole host of national identities. The last migration from the people that settled central Asia migrated to the Caucasus Mountains, the Middle East, Northern Africa, and then eventually the portions of southern Europe.
All of this has been factually determined by DNA. The only major question has been whether or not homo sapiens cross breed with Homo neanderthalensis, and recent evidence suggest that in Europe they did.
We did not evolve from distinct breeds. We all evolved from Homo sapiens, our migrations from Africa have created six distinct lineages.
African, which are people that did not migrate from Africa.
Aboriginals, which are the people from the second migration that populated the coast of India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Australia.
Caucasians, which are the people from the third migration that populated Northern Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and the Russian plains.
Central Asian, which are the people from the third migration that populated central Asia. They are the root of most of the rest of the population of Earth, except Aboriginals and Africans.
East Asian, which are the people from the third migration that populated what we call the far-east including Mongolia, China, Japan, Korea, Tibet, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Burma.
Native American, which are East Asian people that migrated from Asia to the Americas.
The reason why we have all evolved distinctly is due to 1) where we live, and 2) our isolation from each other in pre-historic times.
The reason why caucasians lost most of the melanin is that a good majority of us as Celts, Scandinavians, and Russians lived in colder climates, wore clothing that kept us covered from the Sun's rays (which is what melanin protects the skin from besides giving it color), and we received less Sun due to the northern latitudes. Likewise, all those groups that typically were heavily exposed to the Sun tended to retain a darker skin color.
In prehistoric times, small communities of people survived together in relative isolation. If there was any interaction with other groups of people it was either due to fighting or trade. Only after the Neolithic period do you see groups of communities forming larger groups of proto-nations. Therefore, small groups, not subject to a large influx of genetic material were likely to develop very distinct characteristics. For instance, red hair. It's a genetic trait largely associated with the Vikings are the areas of Europe and the Mediterranean that they conquered. Basically through isolation, we evolved into distinct cultural and national identities.
