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.
