But gene clines exist:

Human groups differ in many ways, and different genetic diseases
cluster in different frequencies in different human populations.

Humans form ingroups and outgroups readily. Me against my brother, me
and my brother against my cousin, me and my cousin against the world.
See, ingroup amity and outgroup enmity since the beginning of human
history.

Egalitarians will always fight an uphill losing battle. Afterall you
can blend in all the races, but clines still exist. Look at Brazil.
