Panga started breaking apart 200 million years ago. Before humanoids, no?

The people with the absolute worst skin I've ever seen where whitey from the finger countries that were coming from the UAE. They've never heard of sunscreen, for sure.

I know plenty of rednecks that never used sunscreen, but they, never, ever, looked as bad as what I saw on Nordic retirees.

If so many people were historically black, or "dark skinned", why are there so many white people now?

Because humanoids migrated to the Caucasus Mountains from Africa and due to geographic and environmental conditions lost the need for high concentrations of melanin in the skin?

You are right but 10,000 years ago seems to recent to me.

Ireland has been invaded by so many different people from so many different directions it would seem unlikely that they could ever figure out what the “pure’ Irish was.

It's kind of amazing timing. Ireland is being flooded with immigrants from Africa and now, out of the blue, 10,000 years ago the inhabitants of Ireland were blue eyed blacks.


Simply amazing.

Look at these people appropriating the Irish culture;

The Mongols, Philistines, Sumerians, Greeks, Egyptians, what "color" was anyone to begin with? There's a reason women from Turkey and Israel (they tend to let women show more skin) are so hot. Melting pot. There's some Asian, African, European, hell to the yes.

There is always going to be an excuse to justify a hypothesis that has already been written.

Blue eyes have evolved with a decrease in exposure of UV radiation as humans moved to northern latitudes. Why would the eyes and skin pigmentation evolve at different times independently of one another? This makes no logical sense.


Someone explain the aborigines in Australia......very dark skinned, sometimes blue/green eyes and nearly blond hair.

If I was Scottish I'd be pissed.

They're being overrun as well and invaders like this slut are helping.

I remember reading a while back that aborigines have a different mutation for blonde hair than what Europeans have. I don’t recall about the eye color.

As for the dark skin - the aborigines are descended from one of the very first migrations of modern Homo sapiens out of Eastern Africa. Over thousands of years they made it to Australia and due to natural selection, having dark skin (protection from the sun) gave them the best reproduction rates and so those traits were kept.

For more learning, do some research on out of Africa Y-haplogroups and mitochondrial DNA mutations.

I've reached the point where I don't believe a fricking thing that archeologists, psychologists, genealogists or virologists publish.
