In 1977, researcher J. Michael Bedford discovered that human sperm could penetrate the protective outer membranes of a gibbon egg. Bedford's paper also stated that human spermatozoa would not even attach to the zona surface of non-hominoid primates (baboon, rhesus monkey, and squirrel monkey), concluding that although the specificity of human spermatozoa is not confined to Homo sapiens sapiens alone, it is probably restricted to the Hominoidea. However, in the opposite direction of closely related species, it has been found that human sperm binds to gorilla oocytes with almost the same ease as to human ones.
We don't have any proof that there was a hybrid created, but I doubt that we the public would be informed if it did happen. We do know that Homo sapien mixed with other members of homo such as the neanderthals and denisovans.

You are going a little too far with it. To answer your question, different races DID evolve from different species, but they were all in the homo genus, and in the end, the dominating race was still homo sapien. For example, Europeans, Asians (East and South), and indigenous peoples of the Americas share up to 5% neanderthal DNA. Similarly, Melanesians (e.g., Papua New Guinea, Aboriginal Australians), Southeast Asians, some East Asians (to a lesser degree), and indigenous populations of the Philippines (like the Ayta) share up to 6% Denisovan DNA. African populations contain up to 7% DNA from either Homo heidelbergensis or Homo naledi, but we can't say for sure because we don't have any fossil proof for the Africans.
I am really simplifying this btw. All of these Homo species I mentioned came from Homo erectus. Meaning that all races originated from Homo erectus. Homo erectus came from Homo australopithecus, who came from the great apes. We all likely originated from the same group of around 200 chimpanzees who's rainforest in East Africa was becoming a savannah, so we had to evolve to learn how to walk and use tools to survive.
