It was hilarious when geneticists established that the only racial group that was not part Neanderthal was sub-Saharan African. The white supremacists went crazy, and there was a push to rehabilitate Neanderthals, which continues to this day.
Talking about race WRT humans is kind of stupid, actually. It is an artificial distinction based largely on physical appearance and mythology of various stripes.
There are genetic subgroups of humans that evolved slightly different characteristics due to localized evolutionary adaptations, but there is only 1 race, the human race.
I recall reading somewhere that there is more genetic variation between individual humans than there is (as an aggregate) between "races."
Maybe we need the evil alien subjugators to show up to force people to recognize their shared humanity?
I doubt the Nazis who used the word Aryan had any notion of who the real Aryans were and are.
Hitler sent Himmler and others all around the world, looking for the roots of the "aryan" race.
Indians to Germans: “we were Aryans while you all were living in caves picking lice off of each other.”
