Races are by definition not distinct. If they were truly distinct, they
would by definition be species, not races.
Races are, as Darwin explained, the origin of species.
Because fertility between kinds gradually diminishes as they become more
and more different, and even radically different kinds often have some
limited interfertility, there is no sharp line between a species
difference and a race difference.
But if interfertility is definitely zero (which is less common than you
would think - you can get some mighty surprising hybrids) then it is
definitely a species difference.
As Darwin explained, the origin of species is that different races are
exposed to different selective pressures, and over time tend to become
more different, resulting in gradual diminution of interbreeding and
interfertility.
Darwin's account of speciation - that speciation is usually and
primarily sympatric - has been confirmed by studies of speciation in
fish, in particular sticklebacks, and studies of speciation in
foraminifera.
The counter theory is Gould's punctuated equilibrium, which is the
scientific justification for your pseudo scientific babble.
Gould invented punctuated equilibrium in order to have a pseudo
scientific theory proving that all men are created equal, since Darwin's
account of speciation implies that the processes that create races
create inequality.
So people looked into Gould's theory, and it was disconfirmed, and
Darwin's horribly racist account of speciation (that sympatric
speciation is normal, gradual, common, and happening everywhere all the
time) confirmed - at least for numerous non mammalian kinds.
