This seems to address racism more so than racial prehistory.

I think its clear that huamns from his books are modern day race of humans. I think its also clear many modern day species like spiders and eagles are intended to be descended from those in the boom.

That said orcs and dwarves are certainly less clear but i think its a safe bet that tolkein intended modern day races to be connected to these anctient races in some way.
