Yes.

There is an interesting comment, and I cannot for the life of me remember
whether it is somewhere in tBotNS or, perhaps, Castle of the Otter - but
Wolfe-or-his-narrator comments that each of the continents of [Earth|Urth]
has a racial "type" which is proper to it, and that whoever colonizes that 
continent winds up conforming to that type in about two thousand years. 

Sort of post-adaptationism?

I'll try to look for that quote when I do my big reread of the Sun books
later this year...
