I can repeat that for anyone who didn't get it the first time.

We all (humans) are so genetically tied to African origin that it's silly.

Skin pigmentation changes fast in humans. A family with darkskin, relocating up in Norway, had better lose some pigmentation, else drink a lot of milk (vitamin A . ...or is it D?)
A family Norweigen moving South, they go dark (surpisingly quickly.)

Anyway, then there's the cultural side of it all.
. . .of course we all know that's an unwaivering, stuck in the cement, constant. --oh, wait
