A group of researchers working at the Human Genome Project are claiming that they have found alien genes in our human DNA genetic makeup.
Do we have alien genes in our human DNA? Could this be the ultimate proof of alien life? According to a team of researchers working at the Human Genome Project, this appears to be the case. The team believes that more than 95% of the non-coding sequences (also called junk DNA) found in human DNA is actually the genetic codes of alien lifeforms. These sequences are actually found in all lifeforms found on Earth but they make up a larger portion of the human genome than in any other species known. It is these sequences that the team is using to explain many gaps in our understanding of how human beings have “evolved” over the ages.
Yeah, but the article is claiming that scientists from the HGP believe our junk DNA is actually alien DNA. I would like to see an article originating from the HGP. Because this is very vague and leaves me with more questions than answers.
If you are meaning that scienceray is a legitimate source, you'd be incorrect, honestly.

This theory has been around for some time now. To me, it does make sense considering there is no explanation as to why we have so many different races of people.

It's a lot more legitimate than most sources that even try to come forward with information about aliens or ufos.
Check the link I just posted. It goes into a lot more detail, and names some scientists involved.
not a single scientist supposedly involved in the work is named

What?!
I don't understand how you can say that! We started off as one race, then split off into three groupings. The Mongoloids, Caucasians, and Negroids. Each evolved respective to their surroundings over time. The truth of this is self-evident. I have no clue how someone can deny something like this in the 21st century.
Wilcock concludes that the human species, somewhat like caterpillars entering metamorphosis, is currently “being programmed by the galactic center to become more advanced while … still here in our bodies.” This is made possible because the DNA molecule is like a programmable piece of hardware … so that if you change the energy wave that moves through it, the jumping DNA will encode it into a completely different form. It is therefore possible that as we move into increasingly “intelligent” zones of energy in the galaxy, the DNA energy patterns for the creatures on the planet are all upgraded, and the mutations occur so rapidly–well within one lifetime–that no “transitional” fossils exist.

We're still one species. Race and species are two different things. Species can interbreed, and the next generation can continue to have offspring. Pretty much the jist of the definition.
We EVOLVED to have subtle genetic variations which were best suited to our environments which stayed mostly the same, as long as we didn't travel much. So, it has to do with differences in climate, and available food sources, mostly. For instance, light pigmentation was a genetic adaption due to living in higher latitudes, and consequently, not getting as much vitamin-d production from solar radiation. The lighter we are, the more efficient this conversion process is. The converse is also true.

No, it's not.
There is a difference between a hypothesis and a theory.
There is a very large amount of scientific data backing up the theory of evolution.
I don't see any real scientific evidence for the beliefs presented in the OP.
Scientific Theory
A scientific theory comprises a collection of concepts, including abstractions of observable phenomena expressed as quantifiable properties, together with rules (called scientific laws) that express relationships between observations of such concepts. A scientific theory is constructed to conform to available empirical data about such observations, and is put forth as a principle or body of principles for explaining a class of phenomena.[1] A scientific theory is a type of inductive theory, in that its content (i.e. empirical data) could be expressed within some formal system of logic whose elementary rules (i.e. scientific laws) are taken as axioms.
