A serious answer. Look at the word Human
Which is derived from the word Hue - Pronunciation: \hyü\ - the attribute of colors that permits them to be classed as red, yellow, green, blue, or an intermediate between any contiguous pair of these colors — compare brightness 2, lightness 2, saturation 4
Also the word hu·mus Pronunciation: \ˈhyü-məs, ˈyü-\ a brown or black complex variable material resulting from partial decomposition of plant or animal matter and forming the organic portion of soil.
The etymology of the word human itself states man derived/originated from rich dark soil. One of color.

certainly, black dermis continuously existed between human beings. It did not 'replace' and get darker because of the fact the 1st human beings had black dermis. this is the white inhabitants that replaced and grew to become lighter.... keep in mind that human beings initially got here into lifestyles in Africa, subsequently it rather is organic they had dark dermis (for the justifications you pronounced). The white inhabitants got here into lifestyles through incest and inbreeding. clinical technology proves that as quickly as you inbreed the 1st element to pass is pigmentation. Over some years of inbreeding the exterior of specific populations grew to become gentle adequate to be called 'white'. The chilly climate of a few of those populations did not 'reason' the white dermis in spite of the undeniable fact that it helped them thrive. in spite of consumer-friendly perception the ecosystem does not influence the mutations that reason variations like dermis colour. fairly it only facilitates or not facilitates those populations stay to tell the tale....................................

Are you talking about black skin tone? 'Cause seriously... you never took a science/biology class to learn about how skin pigmentation works? Tsk tsk.
Also, not every black person is literally.. black. There are shades that are light and literally come close to an average White person's skin tone, to legit dark blackness. So, yeah.

Black have more melanin in their skin which protects them from the sun. That's why white people burn in the sun.
