I, infact do. But really I am however a Christain and belive that all evolution is, is a bunch small adaptations for common changes in climate migration, and perhaps just needed ajustments.. Evolution HAS to be real! How do you explain the differnet races based upon location. All human. (Edited)

Adjustment for climate is a tiny part of evolution. The meat of it is that any advantageous mutation that arises (whether it’s advantageous due to climate or for all the other reasons that a mutation might be advantageous) will thrive and hence spread. The only limit on the scope of what can be evolved is what mutations can do, and what can be achieved by small steps of advantageous mutation. Over long periods of time those small steps add up.

Across the span of time we’re talking about, which is so vast as to defy human comprehension (Seriously, we are not really mentally equipped to think about spans of billions, or even millions, of years. Not intuitively) those little steps add up to the difference between a simple unicell and a human. Or a unicell and a tree. Or a unicell and a fish. Or any of the other array of modern organisms, all of which are just as distant from our deepest ancestor as any other (more or less).

The differences between races, it must be said, are tiny. Not enough to differentiate into species, or even any kind of subspecies clbumification. We have some minor adaptations to environment, but a lot of those are physiological, not genetic (example, North Sea fisherman show some of the same adaptations to cold conditions as the Inuit people, demonstrating that it’s within normal human adaptability, not a mutation specific to the Inuit). Some genetic changes do exist, but they don’t go deep enough to even begin to divide up the human population along those lines, the ‘races’ that we do delimit are based on a handful of more visible mutations like skin colour, body shape and structure, that kind of thing.

Important to know, there’s more genetic variation within any given race than between them, meaning you can easily be more similar to someone of a different race than you are to people of your own race. It’s mostly a social construct, not a useful biological distinction. Excepting a handful of cases, where there are genetic traits more commonly found among members of a particular ethnic group.
