There had been innumerable prior race based wars, between archaic humans, not modern humans, throughout Eurasia.
They had been fought between rival races of descendants of the first out of Africa hominids 1.5 M years ago, such as Neanderthals, Denisovans, homo erectus types, etc, scattered across the Eurasian land mass, fighting for over a million years, duking it out, millenium in millenium out. Over a million years, in a Northern climate, they turned white or yellow.
They did not look alike, they could identify each other as different, and they fought for hunter gatherer territory incessantly, different Neanderthals fighting each other in the West, Denisovans fighting eachother in the East. When they met in the middle, it was a race war, not just a rival tribe affair.
