How many years would it take for a single tribe of about 10,000 related humans to become genetically diverse nations?

The situation is that an alien race transplanted a single tribe of about 10,000 primitive genetically homogeneous humans to a distant but livable planet. I want to know how much this initial population would genetically diverge over about 200,000 years as they grow from a stone age existence to an advanced civilization.

The issue is I'm not sure how to depict them. Would they still appear to be largely homogeneous because of the Founder Effect? Would the variations be relatively minor? Or would there be completely different geographical variations and nations who could no longer recognize each other?
