Erm, no.

I suggest you read this book by Cavli Sforza,

https://www.amazon.co.uk/History-Geography-Human-Genes-paperback/dp/0691029059/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1474759290&sr=8-2&keywords=cavalli+sforza

It does a pretty good job of explaining all this stuff. I never said that aborigines are European, I said that they were more closely related to Europeans than Africans, which is correct.

Thus, anyone who studies genetic variation among humans will print a boilerplate statement somewhere in their paper stating that race does not exist and is a social construct.

This book is one of my favorite examples

There's also physical problems one must consider. It's been shown that the more distant genetically the population, there's a loss to any benefit of hybrid vigor (increased fitness) suffer outbreed depression (decreased fitness). The further apart they are, the more outbreed depression exists.

While two peoples will be genetically adapted to two different locations, the offspring will be adapted to neither. So if a group that has resistance to a disease (ie malaria) marries outside the the group, the offspring would become more susceptible to it. One study recommends that to avoid outbreed depression, to not outbreed with any group that is more than 500 years apart in genetic mutations.

There's also evidence it can cause immunological incompatibility between mother and offspring which results in greater chance of stillbirth. Other things like finding bone marrow transplant is extremely difficult for a mixed race person.

It's natural for a person similar to animals, to choose a mate that is genetically closer to them to increase genetic fitness.

It's been shown people are more altruistic towards people genetically similar to them, and people generally make friends that are more genetically similar. A parent's intensity of grief with the death of an offspring will be determined by perceived physical similarity.

Cavalli-Sforza has written books comparing the genetics of the different races. He demonstrated that the differences genetically between the English and Italians is 2.5 times greater than the differences between the English and Danish. The Japanese is 59 times greater, sub-Saharan Bantu is 109 times greater.
