That looks like a lot more than 5 ancestries: Aasimar, tiefling, duskwalker, kobold, orc, catfolk, ratfolk, tengu, dhampir, changeling? That's at least 10!
Remember the difference between ancestries and heritages. Ancestries are the equivilent of vastly different species, such as human, elf, and dwarf. While heritages are different variations of a singular race.
Thus we have Catfolk, Kobold, Orc, Ratfolk, and Tengu as individual ancestries, or species. While we have 5 new heritages for all ancestries, or species. Aasimar(Upper plan ancestor), Tiefling(lower plane ancestor), Dhampir(Vampire ancestor), Changeling(Hag ancestor), and Duskwalker(I dont actually know they're origin).
It's a change I love with this system as it makes perfect sense that other races would retain their native racial ancestry while still being affected by the strange things that create these heritages.
