Irrespective of their race, all humans are a single species. We can notice features like:

  1. A common body plan, structure, physiology and metabolism.
  2. A constant chromosome number, i.e., 46.
  3. Genetic makeup is also similar, almost 99.9% of DNA is the same in all humans.
  4. Can freely inter-breed to produce offspring.

Evolutionary events indicate the origin of humans from a common African ancestor. Homo sapiens (earliest members of the human species) can be traced there. Based on the above information, we can conclude that all human races seem to have a common ancestor.
