There is only one human SPECIES. Race is more like nationality. Of course, some people living in different environmnents have some unique adapatations that are normally not found anywhere else.

Edit: Yes some racial Groups are "extinct". Some ethnic Groups in siberia are now gone, Native tribes were almost entirely killed off, and some of the first nations/ethnicities are gone, hauled off by a stronger power or massacred
