Difference between hair/skin color.

[shimshimheyxD]

When and how did our skin and hair color change? We were all neadrothals in europe so huh?

Have you ever heard of genes?

and...uh...we weren't all from Europe, the oldest skeletons are from China and Ethiopia.

BLACK PEOPLE HAD THEIR SKIN BURNT 10000000000000000000000 YEARS AGO SO NOW THEYRE BLACK BUT THEY WERE WHITE BACK THEN.

[glow=red]Human race began in Africa and yes we were all white, but the climate was colder back then. Because for thousands of years people lived in Africa and the climate became warmer they had to adapt to a changing environment and became black. Its for that same reason why people from the colder habitat have a differently shaped nose then people from the warmer habitat. Its adaptation, which is genes altering themselves over millions of years in order for a specie to survive, almost the same as evolution, just a micro evolution, a different brunch of homo sapinse.[/glow]

Human life started in Africa, and I don't have a clue if they were all white, black or pink... I think they were all hairy. They stayed there for some thousands of years, where they lost their fur because of the heat, then some went up. By going up, they crossed Africa and head for Asia, a part, and Europe, the rest. The Africans are black because of the intense heat you have in the Equator part of Africa, and the melanine pigment (genes ) in the skin made it black. Like if you stayed on the beach for some million years.

The Asians then went for the Arabic region, then some more advanced forwards, untill they reached China and Japan (obviously, they only called those regions like that a couple million years later ). Those became yellow and with those weird eyes probably because of the rains and the bugs. I don't know much about these :-/

Some also went North, to Russia, and eventually crossed the Pacific in the shortest way, the mass of ice that connected Asia and America, and eventually went down untill they reached South America, founding the various civilizations there were. That's why they seem chinese. But as they lived near the equator, they also had a semi-black skin. It wasn't fully skin because they arrived there like 500.000 years after they departed from Africa (that means that the Africans' skin had all that time to evolve to black).

Some, in Asia, also left for the islands, and eventually arrived Australia, an huge desertic island. They also became half-black.

The rest, went to Europe, where they became (or stayed) white because of the not too hot climate there was. However, some went to the Mediterranean Sea (fairly hot, black hair, because of the melanine), and the nordics went blonde for the same reason.

Well, these are the conclusions I took, or read somewhere. I don't know how true they are.

But the color of the skin has nothing to do with the temperature of the air, cold or hot, but rather with the intensity of the sun. For exemple, how would you explain the skin color of the Innu people, who live in a cold, but sun extensive, environment ?

Well in general, more sun= warmer weather.

[glow=red]Sun is also a weather condition, that means there isn't much precipitation going on in those parts. I agree with you on sun thing, its still adaptaion.[/glow]
