Like I dunno if it was if black ppl have alot naturally that also explains why you get a colour if you sunbathe in the summer..So now imagine the world millions of years ago in Africa..These beings were born with alot of pigment naturally and when they started to move out to what later would be Europe n shit their bodied started to change( evolution). I am talking about the nose the fitness the pigment and perhaps the lungs too...
They just had to adjust to their new environment...thats how nature works...

 

[Steph]

^^ok they had to adjust but that does not mean theyre whole features and color changes right?

Have you ever looked at a Black person from the United States and compared them to Blacks from Africa? Blacks in the U.S. are much more lighter than those in Africa.

You will notice that in only 400 years the blacks brought over from Africa have started changing their skin pigmentation because the amount of sun and the UV rays that hit the United States are far less powerful than of those in Africa...still with me?

Humans change their skin tone and pigmentation in order to adapt and protect themselves from the amount of the UV rays hitting the skin. An african will have higher concentration of melanin because the color black provides the best protection from the dangerous UV rays from the sun.

As our race, the homo sapien - sapien, left Africa and ventured north, our skin tone naturally changed and became more pale, because the sun rays aren't that powerful and dangerous in the north as they are on the Equator and the Southern hemisphere.

A white person who spends a lot of time in the sun tends to have a darker tone of white, than whites who do not spend many hours in the sun.

If you were to let a white family live and bear children in Africa, in 500 years they're kids would have a tone resembling an Arab. In a thousand years, their ancestors would be black. Get it now?...

 

[Steph]

^^yes thanx for makin this clear

 

[one mc on dj]

and uhh that was exactly what I was trying to say...but my english isnt that good and i 4got well fuck it you got ur answer now

 

[not really ken]

Evidence has emerged that Mesopotomia (sp) may have been the cradle of (wo)man. Which is modern day Iraq.
And someone made a comment about lungs! Well the more higher than sea level you are the more your lungs exapand. As the air is much thinner. Nothing to do with evolution. It is just the bilogy of breathing thinner air. That is why Kenyan and Moroccan long distacne runners are the best in the world.
And to RIP2pac&Kadafi, yes their features such as colour would have changed based on climate (not neccasarily evolution). Im light brown in colour. I've visted countries with hot climates and I have turned significantly browner. Only when I come out of that hot climate do I return back to my 'normal' colour. Or rather when I come back to the colder climates my skin turns much lighter.

(shit i been away from the computer and i forgot what i was going to say......this is all for now)

 

[one mc on dj]

Yeah i wasnt too sure about the lungs i was more like just throwing it into the convo...

Ok, can someone explain how we have both man and women? if we evolved from something, how do we have one or the other (hope im clear)

simply chromosomes, one of us as x, one of us has y

at fertilization all of us are female, that is the common pathway we all take, then depending of it we get the x or y from our mothers and fathers, determines which pathway we take.

for all of you about to flame me, this is a fact, i study this so i wont discuss this above statement with you.


as for skin tones etc, its is simply pigments, take people who live in jamacia, spain, etc, they are naturally darker, it depends on ur ancestors, blacks here are lighter skinned for a number of reasons, not limited to our climate, our enviroment, interracial relationships etc.

There is no way that in 400 years adaptation to environment has caused the loss of pigmentation evident in African-American peoples, it is caused by interracial breeding, white influence.

.. umm .. .story i dont think anyone will dispute that becasuse everyone over the age of 14 knows the whole chromosome shit. And i would think that all people started out WHITE but helllaa white and then people in the hotter and sunnier climates addapted apropriatly.

 

[Jokerman]

Boy, I feel like i'm in WOW.

Everyone is descended from ppl who came out of Africa 50,000 years ago. Yes, there were other ppl living in different parts of the world before then, but we are not descended from them. Their shit died out. This has been genetically determined. No, we didn't come out of Mesopotamia; rather, the first civilization (besides Atlantis) started in Mesopotamia. Any questions?

 

[SkitZo_King]

Ive heard the first person was from Africa.

Ive heard humans evolved from apes.

Ive heard we were braught to Earth by fuckin aliens or some shit.

In the Bible wasnt the first people supposedly Adam & Eve?



Who knows if any of these theorys are even true? I dont think any of us were around for that. But some scientific facts would be helpfull.

no meant the statement about us all being female intitally, i was waiting for someone to come in and say thats horseshit..

 

[Amara]

Also, it seems to be as if humans have stopped evolving, yet we are far from perfect!

Seems being the operative word perhaps. If evolutionary changes are occurring at the slow rate that one would expect, then we are ill equipped to measure or observe them. Who knows what effects the modern lifestyle is quietly having on our evolutionary forms....

 

[Story]

^ there is a explanation currently being investigated that explains our "lack" of evolution.

for starters evolutino is SLOW and takes millions upon millions of years

secondly society is structured that weaker individuals (read: stupid people, idiots, etc) are able to survive and maintain and reproduce, which is the key to a species survival, so we arent weeding out the weak links. note when a species evolves, the weak individuals die, and the strong ones live on. in our society, that simply doesnt happen, so evolution among humans has become stagnant, so to speak.

 

[not really ken]

Why would 'dumb' people not evolve. If there's an innate ability in our cells to evolve then why the discrimination. According to evolution the species that hasn't adapted to its surroundings quickly enough is the one who dies out. I mean, there are many animal species that aren't very smart, yet they have the bare minimum to survive. So called dumb people have mostly come about from living in junk societies. (Eg, someone read the Harry Potter article where it talks about the art of conversation is dying). Maybe social engineering has been 'evolving' our intelligence levels aswell.

Also if evolution takes millions and millions of years. Then how the hell did species survive by waitng milions of years to evolve. Also everything initially was a cell, take humans for example. How the hell did a cell 'sense' that there were things out there for it to see, hear, touch, taste and smell. Evolution is within our genes/ cells/ brain or whatever. but there has to be somekind of knowledge to the proverbial 'computer chip' of our cells/ physical forms (whatever that used to be) in order to begin the gradual process of evolving.
If there was no knowledge to the cells and no way of obtaaining knowledge of any kind of surroundings due to the cells inability to sense anything why and how did it evolve?

 

[CalcuoCuchicheo]

Why would 'dumb' people not evolve

It's not that they wouldn't evolve eventually, just they wouldn't survive if we were not supporting them thus, taking the chance of evolving away from them.

Then how the hell did species survive by waitng milions of years to evolve

Slowly but surely is the nature of evolution. We never were never 'waiting', small changes were ongoing.

If there was no knowledge to the cells and no way of obtaaining knowledge of any kind of surroundings due to the cells inability to sense anything why and how did it evolve?

I'm not completely sure I understand what you are saying here.

However, if you are saying what I think you may be, the answer is that humans - like all animals - evolve through trial & error.

Take eating berries.

One member of the tribe eats a berry & it kills him - nobody is eating that berry again.

One member of the tribe eats a berry & it makes him ill - the tribe are unlikely to eat this berry if they have an alternative choice but faced with starvation they will continue to eat it & through generations there is the chance that they will eventually become immune to it's effects.


And cells to contain information about your surroundings in a round-about way. If your skin has severe damage related to UV rays then it is likely you are in a place where the sun is very prominent. As such your skin will attempt to adapt & the progress that it makes may be passed on to your progeny depending on the dominance of your cells & such.


Btw, I agree with Jokerman who says we all came from Africa. There were neandarthals in what is now Europe but they died out. Homosapiens prevailed.
