Oh, here is an interesting one that might challenge your preconceptions when you go looking for answers.
White people, a result of evolution?
Did white people develop additional DNA information to become white?
Or,
White people, a result of devolution?
Did white people lose DNA information to become white?
It is natural for us to assume that our ancestors were "white" or "whitish". Is it true? Look at artwork of "early man" that tends to prevail, it is generally not black or brown skin, but ruddy or white. Not African wooly hair, but long unkempt European style locks.
Are these artists right or wrong?
They try to show no erect posture, instead hunched over ape like poses, are these right?
Early evolutionist thought considered that since white people came up with better civilization white people were a higher order of evolution. Now that we can study DNA were these early evolutions right or wrong?
