My understanding of the modern human evolution was, that, there was three distinct species of humans developing independently: Mongoloid (Asia),Negroid (Africa),and Caucasoid (Europe). The migration and interbreeding of the various species is where we find ourselves today.

[@tonycatman]

The 'three races' idea was the standard belief until about the 1960's. I'm not sure if it fell out of favour for political reasons, or scientific ones. It is a subject which is taboo to ask or research. But don't forget that those observations were based entirely on phenotypic differences rather than genetic ones. It is very reasonable to assume that sub-saharan Africans were isolated for a hundred thousand years or so due to the barrier of the Sahara desert, and the Australian aborigines due to the isolation by sea.
