Can we discuss the origins of ethnicity? (Aka another school me thread)

How does ones pigment straight up decrease like that though?


And why do asians have slanted eyes, what was it about that part of the world that caused their eyes to turn that way?

pigment decreases because people are welcomed with a less intense sun because they are further from the equator

along with it being more cold so people cover up and sunlight hits them less often

so getting less melanin / pigment is beneficial because then these people dont have to be in the sun as long as blacks/africans

blacks/africans need to be in the sun 6-7 hours a day to get the natural vitamin d needed

arabs; 4-5

whites; 20-30 minutes

it's evolutionary purpose

and asians have slanted eyes because they eat a certain kind of fish, it helps them because then they dont have to squint when the sun is blaring in their face

asians are the supreme race at the moment, they will be the future race most likely

 

[Angel On The Rag]

so if u caught up in the red that means ur darkskin?

more like, if your genetic lineage live in the red areas for thousands of years they will migrate back to being darker skin

it's all about evolution brehs

tropical areas you want to have brown/dark skin to protect against burns from the sun

in colder climates you want white/lighter skin to absorb vitamin d in a less timely fashion so you can go back into a cave to warm up

Interested, although I don't know about that whole eating fish/slanted eye kind of thing. But what you say does make sense. According to you, essentially, white people absorb vitamin D quickly, so if they stay in the sun too long, they absorb more vitamin D than they can handle. So if I stay indoors more, and my skin gets lighter, does that mean my body has adapted to being able to maintain my standard of health using less vitamin D? Or does it have anything to do with the sunlight affecting the pigmentation of my skin And what about all the olive-skinned Mediterranean people who live in a tropical climate year round? Why are they just tanned white people, why aren't they black?

Or why are the Inuit people still darker than white people? Plus those Asian features are seen on African groups like the San people so why would they be linked to the Asian diet? These questions are not completely settled

 

[Mowgli]

It's all adaptation. Dark Skin is good for tropical climates to protect from Ultraviolet radiation coming from the Sun. Light Skin is better for colder areas.

Why are indigenous alaskans brown skinned?

 

[kingdizzy01]

native americans = inuits = asians.

africans migrated while hunting from africa thru asia to north/south america


some of yall must've missed social studies in 4th grade...

In this case, so in fact, sunlight has very little to do with change in pigmentation of the skin I mean, they need to stay out more in the sun to get enough vitamin D right? Just goin' with the flow b

im not talkin about the how, i was addressing the where...

as for pigmentation, previous poster hit the nail on the head with that diagram. please refer to that.

I'm gonna need a source.

I was being sarcastic b. at white skin helping you to survive better in the cold by needing less sunlight. It's actually the contrary, that they are better off in that kind of environment because their skin can't handle the sun (kind of like vampires/evil creatures), but you gotta love the spin Blacks could live in Antarctica for a thousand years and never die off, and never turn white, this whole premise is dumb. Two white people can't make a black baby, but two black people can make a white baby. And at trying to sound educated and then mention how fish make you slant-eyed

 

[kingdizzy01]

i dont know bout no fish, but i remember learnin that shyt in elementary...the slant eyes developed cuz early people were basically nomads following animal herds (food) and it was an adaptation that came from hunting in the sunlight. it could apply to fishing since water reflects sunlight

Does that only apply to Asians or to everybody?

I'm just trying to get a clear picture here as hunting in sunlight is not something exclusive to the Asian population if true, if this sounds confusing please blame the liquid lunch I had.

 

[kingdizzy01]

no, not exclusive to asians. native americans, inuit, incas, mayans, south america...they developed the slanted eyes for this reason. comes from thousands of years of migrating from southern asia to the americas by the 'land bridge' (bearing strait).

 

[Tom]

so fish gives u slanted eyes?

 

[Angel On The Rag]

Or why are the Inuit people still darker than white people? Plus those Asian features are seen on African groups like the San people so why would they be linked to the Asian diet? These questions are not completely settled

asians, Norwegians and some africans have those slanted eyes from a certain type of fish they eat often
