Eve has been shown to have existed through the study of our Mitochondrial DNA. Traced back to central Africa near Kenya. This small family populated all the world hundreds of thousands of years ago. Of course they were black for the reasons of climate already mentioned here. Therefore, Noah would have been black, as would be Shem, Ham, and Japeth. Only there descendants would have had enough time to adapt and lose pigmentation. Yet you see black Africans as Native people still all over the world i.e. Australia, Philippines, Samoa.

Let me tell you my philosophy about the origin of humans and survival: all human races were all over the planet. But through time the earth's climate changed and the colored, who could bear the heat, survived in the tropics and around and the non-colored, who did not survive perished. The colored did not survive the cold in the north and south and hence perished from there but the non-colored survived. Today all races can live any where thanks to technology improvements made in food, shelter, clothing, etc. So the blacks were every where on the planet but now we think they were originated from Africa where most black population live.

The black race is not a separate race from you. A better question is where did you originate from because we are all one race and that is the human race. Whether you are black or white doesn't matter because you and all human beings originated from Africa, so the black race originated from Africa, just like the white race. That is the answer to your question.

Black Race: Africa/India/Jamaica/West Indies
Hispanics: South America
Chinese/Japanese: Asia
Irish/German: Europe
(Other examples are:)
Austrialians come from Austrialia
Italians come from Italy
Hawaiians come from Hawaii
Actually, you don't want us (Blacks) to MISUNDERSTAND you! Now that I've given you a crash course of where people come from in general,Black People,the other races that I have mentioned,and many,many other races have formed what is called: North America. Any more questions?

The "Black Race" IS the original, at least according to modern theory, arose in Africa, was and is MAN. As man wondered, he changed to fit climate...the farther north they migrated, the less pigment they needed in their skin to protect them from sun. EVE, the metaphor for the first human, was by all counts, black.

According to the Bible Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japeth. After the flood it was his son's who were to repopulate the earth. One son was white, one was black, and one was yellow or oriental. They migrated to various parts of the earth and repopulated it. The black race migrated to Africa.

Equatorial regions, along, africa, and central america... THey are "black" because the pignment in their skin is a protection against the sun, which is more potent along the equater. Im whit, because my ancestors didnt need the same level of skin protection

I do not plan to quote you. As far as anthropology, paleontology and archeology can tell us, ALL humans originated in Africa.
