A common theory of human migration is the Out Of Africa Theory. The theory suggests that the first race of humans lived in Africa. As resources became scarce, groups of humans migrated to surrounding areas Africa in search of wealthier lands. Some stayed in their newly found land while others continued to travel further from Africa to cater to their ever-increasing needs. The adventurers adapted to new living conditions and became acclimated to new climates and temperatures. (continue) Side: Yes.

It's pretty much fact that the human race evolved in Africa, and then spread through the globe. Actually, it's the subject of a fierce intellectual debate. https://phys.org/news/ Side: Yes.

Are we all one human race? If your question is whether we are all the same species, then the answer is an obvious yes which is highly supported by all Biological criteria. Now, if your question is whether our species would be Biologically classified into various races/sub-species/eco-types if it were any other animal/mammal species under study, then that is more debated about in the Scientific community. Here is an article from Biologist Jerry Coyne who takes the position that Humans do consist of various ecotypes when one applies the same standards/criteria that they would to any other species (however, it does not necessarily suggest that the differences are significant or not--e.g. different ecotypes in mice are determined by coat color alone, which is determined by only 1 or 2 genes): https://whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.

It could be argued that any human who has taken enough drugs or ingested enough gasoline that their recombinant DNA can not be successfully combined with another human of the opposite sex, the aforementioned person is no longer a member of the human race. They are more like fancy monkeys, and thier cognitive abilities could be tested to confirm this. Side: No.
