Evolution of races

[We Never Know]

I believe that the DNA of humankind had all the varieties colors there even thought the insides were all the same.

Correct me if I am wrong,, don't you believe in creation?

You say " I believe that the DNA of humankind had all the varieties colors"

Did Adam and Eve start out as zebra's

That population had a skin tone. Light, dark, yellow, or whatever. It was dominate at that time within the population.

Which population are you talking about?

Which is why I said in the OP "Put away political correctness and safe spaces"

I, for one, am not talking about "political correctness". I'm talking about biology and genetics. There is no such thing as "race' in biology, therefore nothing called a "race" ever evolved.

 

[Subduction Zone]

I'm saying IMO the black race evoleved first, While the majority of that population stayed put in Africa, small groups broke off and migrated out of Africa and then kept migrating creating the different races we see today.

Mostly right. Except we were all one "race". We are still one race. The only differences are rather minor.

California?

Adam and Eve were mythical. There never were only two people.

The difference is political.

Really? I bet that poster won't believe you.

Cultural.

Skin tone did. One came before the other.

Does it matter? And he probably does. Most Christians do not seem to believe the Adam and Eve myth any longer.

"Does it matter?"

To them, yes it would.

You're not listening.

skin tone <> Race.
Races don't exist.
It doesn't exist in biology.
It's time to let go of that notion.
It does nothing but divide mankind.

 

[We Never Know]

Cultural.

Thousands of years it was culture. The last 500 years its plotical.

Skin tone did. One came before the other.

Why does it matter? Our closest animal relatives live in Africa still. They have light colored skin under their fur. Our furry ancestors likely had light colored skin too. We with fur we would have needed it for vitamin D production. The loss of fur increased the sunlight to our skin so protection from UV would have been a need and the ample sunlight would have lessened the need for Vitamin D. We could still make it even with melanin. So our "human" ancestors became dark.

By the time our ancestors left Africa they would have been dark. But they would have lost that. But all one race at that time. And for practical reasons still one race today. Just differences that are only literally skin deep.

Race division sux. However if a burned body is found, DNA along with bone structure can be used to tell the race.

That's right. White people are Republicans and Black people are Democrats

Read the OP again.

DNA tells where all of us came from. Including specific regions. Is Nordic a race? Germanic? That is just history.

That's probably the dumbest comment I have ever read.
Race is political
