The advanced civilization that lived there when this disaster happened had to move on to warmer climates. Thus creating the nucleus of civilization, as we know it today.
Migration from the now frozen wasteland, which was Atlantis, had to be done quickly, and the fastest exit would have been the Southern tip of South America. This migration of human kind continued over thousands of years from the Atlantis Cradle of civilization in Antarctica, northward through the Americas and eventually spread throughout Europe, Asia and the continent of Africa.
We see evidence of this in the similarities of the Mayan Pyramids of Central America and the Egyptian Pyramids of the Middle East.
The advancements of the original Atlantian Civilization were lost when the cataclysm plunged them into a situation of survival in new territories without any of the modern achievements of the now destroyed homeland. Similar to what our current civilization would be if it were lost in a nuclear holocaust.
The distribution of the original inhabitants throughout the world from this single point of origin means that all human beings began from one single race of beings and only differ in color and ethnicity due to their geographical locations from adaption rather than any physical differences from multi points of origin.
The many different races that make up human kind today are the result of the original Atlantean race being scattered throughout the world's landmasses and adapting to many climatic differentials.

The earth is comprised of many races but perhaps from one mother and father. |
We can easily follow the origin of races by following the migration of the original Atlantians.
Originally, before any intercontinental exploration by ship took place, we can see that the race of people existing in the Americas from Alaska to Chile and Argentina on the southernmost tip of South America was Indian, similar to the Native American Indians of today. Only great geographical distances created sociality's differentials among varying tribes. Racially however, they were quite similar in every aspect.
Beyond the Bering Strait into Europe the predominate race is Caucasian. This is the result of a much colder and cloudier climate existing in that part of the world.
In Asia the predominate race is Oriental which would account for the wetter and warmer climate of this region. Similarities between the original Indian inhabitants of the Americas and the Oriental race can be seen in the hair and shape of the eyes. Skin color also varies from lighter in northern countries such as Japan to much darker in countries like those, which make up Indonesia.
This same color differential exists between the Eskimos of the North Pole region which are very light and that of the very dark skin of Indians living in hotter regions to the south. However, predominate features such as eyes, hair color, etc. remain the same.
Beyond Asia and Europe to the Mid East and the Continent of Africa is where the darkest skin pigment is observed as well as some drastic facial and physical changes can be clearly seen. This area of the world happens to be one of the hottest of all with more extreme desert areas than anywhere else. Having to adapt to such a high average temperature are found the darkest colored people of all.
Thus, the adaption to various different climates in the world over thousands of years by a single race of people has resulted in human kind being divided by different races rather than us being divided by race in the beginning.
Separated by great distances and having been devoid of any technological knowledge because of the cataclysm to the continent, which was Atlantis, the people were forced to start from scratch in a hostile world.
