When ultraviolet sunlight hits our skin, it affects each of us differently. Depending on skin color, itll take only minutes of exposure to turn one person beetroot-pink, while another requires hours to experience the slightest change. Whats to account for that difference, and how did our skin come to take on so many different hues to begin with? Angela Koine Flynn describes the science of skin color. Lesson by Angela Koine Flynn

as a general response to many of the comments, no human has ever been persecuted on account of their skin color, religion, nationality, belief system etc, in the proverbial 'deep down inside', I think we all know that the reason that humans persecute one another is because of aggressive and violent instincts inherited over millions of years of evolution as we scratched and clawed our way up the food chain, eating and being eaten. such a struggle for existence is not likely to produce a particularly pleasant creature. Our natural instinct is to compete for resources, not share them, (unless it is to our advantage) The Other is the enemy(with whatever excuse that we can find to make them so) over the ages such behavior has been elevated to an art form.

It's not evolution they just adapted over the years of generations but a dark skin man vs a light skin man are still human and will always remain human peel off the skin they have the same skeleton structure and shape it's like a car cars all have wheels a motor and steering wheel but only different color or paint jobs

It certainly reflects the character of each races. If the theory advocates all the people modern times from Africa, then it is very true that the people who had been pioneering the world in spite of many challenges have a lot more potentiality than others lingered on the same place, Africa itself.

What I have learned is that Some people hate people who protect themselves, from the ray of the sun, and think white is power, now that is some contradicting science, Good thing I'm not an American sheesh
reply

Whiteness is a social construct. In the future when races are so mixed that almost everyone has a brownish skin color, even jewish people will be considered white just like irish and italians are now too

reply

You guys really don't understand that racism is not about skin color? It's about history between people, about society and different cultures?

Thank you! I've been saying this for years. I suspect most white skin ( actually pink when you look at it) is from Neanderthals.
