There is no such thing a race. It is a concept dreamt up by Europeans to justify the subjugation of the natives of countries they wanted to invade. It was based on the idea that white Europeans were somehow superior to anyone else.
Before this, it didn't matter what colour someone was, people were considered the same. There is one Race of Man, and that is all of us. To have separate races we would have to have a lot of genetic divergence, and there is not enough for any humans to be considered separate. We don't even have the genetic diversity of different breeds of dogs.
We are humans. all of us. the last race other race of man died out thousands of years ago.

I didn't read the article, but I believe there are many factors contributing to the merging and blending of gene pools. You mention that the article does not even consider this most important factor. Actually, we are coming to realize that there is only one race: human. Before there was extensive travel, the various gene pools were mostly kept separate. The European races had the best economic power, and increased more rapidly. But the Chinese were growing fast, too, though mostly in isolation from the Europeans. But the Europeans spread more rapidly, reaching out to the new world. Also, remember that assigning a race to a child is more cultural than genetic. Where mother and father were from different gene pools, the culture decided whether the child was considered a member of Mother's tribe or Father's.

I don't consider my daughter to be black or white cause she isn't, she's mostly white and looks hispanic. There are a lot of black people who don't really accept her as black, they call her "that little white girl"... so I don't understand how can mixed people be included in one race and excluded from the other when they are of both.

This is just some nonsense cooked up by some racist losers a long time ago. Other races are not extinct. In fact, I don't know why we are categorized by our 'race' in the first place.
