If the blackman was the first on earth, where did the whiteman come from?

Answer 1

As life slowly became a little better for ancient man, he found more leisure time for laying around in the cave, watching the cave drawings, reading the Sunday clay tablets, and working out important problems like how many swallows would be needed to fly a coconut to Europe. As millions of years went by, less exposure to the light of day led to paler whitey dudes. If this hypothesis has modern evidence, it may be the high numbers of pale nerds...

Answer 2

A recent Nova on PBS explained this. When the climate became too dry in Africa, some people looked for greener pastures (literally). DNA shows they came north and crossed into the Middle East, then east along the coast, through India and finally to Australia. These people remained dark skinned because they were still in a hot climate which required few clothes and dark skin protected them from UV light. It wasn't until much later that other people came from Africa who stayed in the Middle East or went north to Europe or Asia. When people went to colder climates (over many, many generations), they needed more clothing to stay warm and an ability to get Vitamin D more efficiently from the sun. Thus, those with lighter skin were more successful in that climate because less skin pigmentation allows more UV rays and more vitamin D to penetrate the smaller amount of exposed skin. More of them survived, had children with others who survived, and little by little, the usual skin color in colder regions became lighter. It was an adaptation that worked but not the only possible one as you can see from Eskimos with fairly light skin but dark hair and eyes.

Answer 3

The reason why some people are white and some people are to varying degrees darker only means that darker skinned people have more melanin in their skin. This is something that changes over literally thousands of years. When a group of people let's say in Africa are exposed to elements such as sunlight for extended periods of time, their genes undergo changes through the generations which cause them to have more melanin in their skin. Melanin is a substance that protects our skin from sun damage. It also changes the color of our skin. If this same race of people were to have a change in their environmental conditions where they were exposed to less ultraviolet radiation, then after several generations their skin would gradually become lighter. It takes about 20,000 years to change the skin color of a race of people from black to white. So when tribes migrated from Africa to Europe there exposure to the sun decreased. They were probably more able to build shelters to protect them from the sun and they would have also had the benefit of being able to find shade more easily due to the abundance of trees. So to answer your question I would have to say that the white man came from the trees. Now some people on here may not like this but given most people's living conditions in today's society I would expect that through no concious action on our own part, we will all be white before too much longer. Yet another reason for us to stop being racist.

Answer 4

Well Africa was not the origins of the human family. And Adam and Eve are white. The darker coloring of skin was as a result of a curse placed upon the those who went against the word of God to distinguish between those of the righteous and unrighteous. And that is the will of God not man.

Answer 5

There is a theory that a mad scientist name "Yacub" or "Yakub" invented them in an experiment in genetics. Yakub created white people by a process of "grafting" from the original black population of the world. It took 600 years for Yakub and his successors to fully whiten his creations. This was achieved under a despotic regime on the island of Patmos. The reasons for Yakub's actions are unclear. Another theory has that the people of Soddam and Gomorrah were evil and punished by God. They (lepers) had to go to the mountains were they lost their pimentation.

Answer 6

lol...how funny. Uh, I guess one day a black man woke up and decided to make himself so pure, that he rubbed all the skin off! hehe...

I'm just kidding....I don't think it was a black man that was first, but maybe not a white man, either..There were probably a few different types of humans developing about the same time. Some stayed in one part of the world, and the others went somewhere else. They changed in accordance with their climate and conditions.

Answer 7

I don't think the first people were "black" and I don't think they were "white". I know they were very hairy and dark skinned but I wouldn't say "black" yet. The people who stayed in Africa obviously devoloped darker pigment skin to cope with the intense sun, and the people who moved to colder climates developed lighter skin pigments because of the lack of sun. We all started off the same....it's not as if there was a black race and a white race from the beginning.

Answer 8

It's called evolution.

Human beings evolved in africa, where is it hot. We therefore had to have lots of melanin in our skin to protect us from the sun, which made our skin black. We had to have wider noses, with broad nostrils, so we could take in as much oxygen from the hot air as possible.

When humans began to forge further north, we didn't need the melanin in our skin as the sun wasn't nearly as strong and we really needed as much Vitamin D as possible in the long dark winters, so people with less melanin began to do well and gradually over generations it leached away. People with longer, thinner nostrils fared better in the colder north as that gave more time for air to warm on the way to the lungs, so these people didn't have chest infections and survived.

Answer 9

white skin......blonde hair.......blue eyes are all examples of a human with no pigments or less pigments than those with other color. It can be stated in science that a caucasian (a white-non hispanic person) is a mutation of other races. A recessive gene is responsible for these effects. This gene only becomes dominant when both parents possess the same recessive gene.

Answer 10

White people came from Sweden. It was where all the black people sent their albino offspring from Africa because they were believed to be spirits sent by the devil. The albinos started mating and then over time developed their own characteristics apart from their black ancestors.

Some were born with slanty eyes and they were extradited to Asia.

The people in Asia minor and the middle east are descendants from the Albinos in Europe and their african counter parts. That's why they look like white people with dark skin.

It's pretty interesting.
