• Question: if we all evolved from the same organism why do we have different facial and bodily features between different races e.g. eye colour, hair , lip sizes etc

      Diversity and evolution.
      We all live in different environments, and we adapt to those environments. And the human species have done this over millions of years (~2.5 million).
      Just as an example, if humans lived in a climate with more sun, we tend to have more melanin and so skins are darker.
      The same story will apply for other different features!
