Of course there is. Even if we say it's purely social - and it largely, though not entirely, is - that doesn't make it any less relevant or important given the history of the world up to now.

That's funny, because the scientists who did the study warned against this very conclusion, explaining that race differences have to do with a lot more than skin color. It's right there in the article you are referring to.

Even if race differences were only about skin color, why would the discovery of a genetic mutation that accounted for the difference in skin color mean that there is no such thing as race? That's like saying there's no such thing as blondes and brunettes because the difference between them is only genetic.
