Standard trope for them is that there are only a small number of 
"Kinds", of which humans are the unique one, without any kin, and that 
all the diversity came about shortly after the flood, when god simply 
"poofed" all the variations into existence. They need this to be true, 
otherwise the Ark and Noah's flood are not possible.
