I like the idea!

I think you may want to stipulate that it must be the first feat you choose.

You may also want to incorporate ability score modifiers in a weaker capacity to the races they derive their heritage from(?)

eg. Elven Heritage +1 Dex, -1 Con etc.

And what about the half elf or half orc: they have for sure human heritage, plus something else.... Do they can stack those feats with their race adjustements?

No. These are a substitute for half-races. For instance, a half-orc would be a human with the orc heritage feat, or an orc with the human heritage feat.

As for the atribute modifiers, I considered that, but abandoned the idea for no really good reason. Should I add them?
