@bigdallyc Blacks are actually white skinned.

Truth is, European Neanderthals/ Denisovan Asians, mixed and then went into Africa and mated with the African hominids, who later came out of Africa to follow their forefathers. Genetic evidence suggests that black skin became the norm in Africa some 1.2 million years ago, around the time that early humans left the rain forest and colonizied the open plains of the savanna and lost most of their body hair, after coming out of the rain forests, heat made them lose their hair and over produce melanin to protect their skin from UVA, rays. The first where white Skinned not black, as Vitiligo shows, Blacks are actually white skinned not black!

@OakenTome Melanin is not a skin colour it is something the body produces to protect skin from the harmful rays of the sun. ' Melanin absorbs harmful UV rays and protects against cellular damage from UV light exposure.' So the hotter the climate the darker the skin becomes, white people produce melanin and go brown in the sun also, its called a suntan. 'Genetic evidence suggests that black skin became the norm in Africa some 1.2 million years ago, around the time that early humans left the rain forest and colonized the open plains of the savanna and lost most of their body hair, after coming out of the rain forests, heat made them lose their hair and over produce melanin to protect their skin from UVA, rays.' So they must have been pale skinned living in the rainforest to begin with and when they left to live on the open plains in full sunlight, they started producing melanin to protect their skin from sun damage. Scientists say this!

@meep5386 Over production of melanin, bares no relevance at all to evolution of intelligence and enterprise. Neanderthals were white, evolved outside of Africa, they were never in Africa, were intelligent, made tools, lived in family groups and buried their dead, just as we do today. They were around 400,000 years ago, long before the so called 'Homo Sapiens' left Africa some 50,000 - 60,000 years ago.
