What doesn't make sense is how places like the middle east became lighter. Yes I get they started agriculture but if you look at their daily uv levels, it's some of the highest in the world. So why on earth would their skin get lighter when they are getting more than enough sunlight for vitamin d ????

@Pickle Rick still confused. This guy from the vid is saying. The genes for light skin came from places like Egypt but my point was their UV levels doesn't constitute lighter skin even though you're saying it's not as high as other places its still high enough to keep the dark skin. And you also said its as light as it is today due to back migration. I'm guessing from the times the Greeks and many many other civilisations absolutely ran through that part of the earth

@Pickle Rick okay so how long would you say Southern Europe took to become predominantly white. And I want to be clear. Youre saying the middle east would've been the skin tone of the San tribe of South Africa until major back migrations occurred around 5000 years ago?

@Pickle Rick ahhh okay. However I've seen theories that populations from Western Africa used to inhabit areas like North Africa and the Middle East and were displaced when the Greeks did their period of hellenisation. Many african ethnicities like the ashanti from ghana say they orginated from that region. Apparently Greeks were said to have documented that places like Egypt had dark skinned people. This would have been just before the ptolemaic period. How much weight would you say that theory has ?

@Pickle Rick The ancient Egyptians call themselves a legacy civilisation and say civilisation in Egypt stretched much further back. I do agree that the Egyptians there today have been lightened due to constant conquest equivalent to a gangbanging session 😂 So they have the DNA of the "original" Egyptians. I put quotation marks because they didn't even call themselves the originals and there is very solid evidence that they go back much further than we ever thought. Like the sphinx water erosion and other evidence suggesting that when the ancient Egyptians said they go much further back, they were actually telling the truth...

@Pickle Rick wait a second, you said they are the same or lighter than the San people of South Africa. WHY? The San people live in a significantly lower UV radiation level and their skin got lighter but still in the range of what you'd expect from black people. So again, taking everything into context it still doesn't make sense that people in the middle east (pre conqest) would just be light

@Pickle Rick Bro, you're showing you have a lack of knowledge on uv levels of our beautiful planet. Check this, the source is the weather atlas. I'll quote two different countries and their average maximum UV Levels, one is Namibia where the San people primarily live and one is Egypt. So for Namibia, "The months with the highest UV index in Windhoek are January, February, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6." For Egypt "Sunshine In Cairo, the average sunshine in July is 11.7h. UV index The months with the highest UV index are June and July, with an average maximum UV index of 12. A UV Index of 11, and more, symbolizes an excessive health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person. Note: The average daily UV index of 12 in July transform into the following instructions: Take all necessary precautions, as unprotected skin can burn in minutes. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects. Even on cloudy days, a sunscreen with a minimum 30 sun protection factor should be generously applied and frequently re-applied, including after every swim or outdoor exercise." As we can see there is a MAJOR difference. And this is why I say it makes no sense why the worldest oldest population lives in a place with half the maximum average of a place like Egypt but are much darker. THERE ARE LITERALLY WARNINGS to do with sun exposure in the middle east. The middle east has some of the highest skin cancer rates in the world with Israel being number 1 for many years until vigorous awareness campaigns on sun exposure were done. This is proof clear as day that the people there are not the natives. You don't just get lighter for the fun of it uno? Skin lightening is to adapt to low UV levels. So yes I stick by the point that it makes 0 sense for that area to be that naturally light when they have some of the highest UV levels on planet earth !!! I am eager to hear your response😊

@TmanRock9 @TmanRock9 That's simply not true. The great thing about humans language is that you can find its roots. These migrations certainly didn't all occur before Egypt got its civilisation. The proof is many african languages today still have close ties to the ancient Egyptians writing systems. Yoruba's writing system( a Nigerian language) retains a 59% similarity to the ancient Egyptians hieroglyphic writing systems. With that big of a similarity after thousands of years That's cold hard proof that the Ancient Egyptians during the time of the civilisation migrated South into sub Saharan Africa. Look, people can make mistakes or even lie for various reasons but when something like that do obviously links these things together you have to start questioning your "evidence" And no, The San people do not have ancestry from anywhere. They are literally the oldest population of people on earth. They are not "from" anyone, if anything its the other way round. And before the bantu expansion relatively recently the San people occupied most of central and southern africa for thousands of years btw

@minutemansam1214 that's not the point . Hes saying because of the switch to agriculture there wasn't enough vitamin d present in their food to stay dark. Learn to read man

Okay ?
