If you mean “why isn’t there a variety of human beings like there are Oxen, Gaurs, Bison, and Bovines?” the answer is “there is, they’re called Chimpanzees (and Bonobos)”. This is the “Tribe” level.

If you mean “why isn’t there a variety of human beings like there are with Indian Auroachs, “Cattle”, and Yaks?” the answer is “there was, but our ancestors either outcompeted or killed the Neanderthals and Homo Erectus”.

If you mean “why isn’t there a variety of human beings like there are with Hereford cattle, Jersey cattle, and Angus cattle?” the answer is “there is, there are Australian aboriginals, Native Americans, Africans, Turkic people” etc.

The difference between Jersey cattle and people with anglo-saxon blood is that there is economic incentive to keep Jersey cattle strictly differentiated as a breed while despite the best efforts of some of the worst people on earth, you can’t stop people from fucking whatever they feel like.
