What are commonly recognized as races are not mutually exclusive
categories from the biological point of view. Scientifically races refer
to attribute distributions within populations. Any one individual, or even
family,
might fall at the far end of the normal distribution for the "race" with
respect to a particular attribute.  The
answer is that you can't know from a few  traits what the physical history
of a family is.
