Comments by "Religious_Man" (@Religious_man) on "The science of skin color - Angela Koine Flynn" video.
Yes indeed. I'm a white person, and if I choose to live in the harsh climate and weather conditions of the tropics, that would likely harm my health more than a human being with a darker skin. In other words, white people are not meant to live in the tropics or any place that has over 100F degree temperatures. It's not good for us unless we choose to adapt to such a habitat. It has nothing to do with the "better race." When we look at old pictures of the dark-skinned natives, their skin color tells me they often lived in areas which had rough weather conditions. For example, many dark-skinned native Americans lived on the plains. Even though back in the day much of North America's plains had a temperate climate, often times the summers would get extremely hot. Since they chose to live on the plains, their skin color eventually turned dark. Many Asians have a darker skin color because much of Asia is situated in the tropical zone, where temperatures can easily climb over 100F during the hot season and big rains often fall down in buckets which may have contributed to the change of skin color on humans.
