I wonder why this world got white and black people?

Question

I really want to know does this happened cause all human came from same place. can someone genius pls explain. Thanks

Answer 1

When I was six and my best friend was black, I asked my grandmother how come her skin was so much darker that mine. She told me that when God made all the people, he had to give the ones who lived where the sun was hottest the darkest skin so that they would be protected from the sun. The people further away didn't need as much protection, so there were lighter skins the further people lived from the hottest places on Earth.

That was plenty explanation when I was a kid, and I don't see that it is any less compelling of an answer now.

Answer 2

I really think it's an adaptation to where a person lives. Those who live nearer the equator seem to have darker skin (I would say this is for protection against the stronger sun they live under). For the same reason Nordic people are fairer--their skin needs all the light it can get, because they have so many months of darkness.

Just an idea I've thought about.

Answer 3

The world has more than black and white. There are yellow and red also and all the colors in between. I guess all the people adapted to the climate and area where they lived.

Answer 4

Skin color is determined by the amount and type of the pigment melanin in the skin.
The evolution of the different skin colors is thought to have occurred as follows: the haired ancestors of humans, like modern great apes, had light skin under their hair. Once the hair was lost, they evolved dark skin, needed to prevent low folate levels since they lived in sun-rich Africa.
Dark skin protects against those skin cancers that are caused by mutations in skin cells induced by ultraviolet light. Light-skinned persons have about a tenfold greater risk of dying from skin cancer under equal sun conditions. Furthermore, dark skin prevents UV-A radiation from destroying the essential B vitamin folate. Folate is needed for the synthesis of DNA in dividing cells and too low levels of folate in pregnant women are associated with birth defects.
While dark skin protects vitamin B, it can lead to a vitamin D deficiency. The advantage of light skin is that it does not block sunlight as effectively, leading to increased production of vitamin D3, necessary for calcium absorption and bone growth. The lighter skin of women may result from the higher calcium needs of women during pregnancy and lactation.

Answer 5

Well, it's either the wonder of God or simply thousands of years of people adapting to the land they live on. The tones of thier skin to protect them best from the elements and so on. I think a rainbow looks a lot better than a blanket of one color, don't you?

Answer 6

Some people's pigmentations are lighter than others. As people began moving about the earth to live their coloring wasn't as affected by the sun, etc. God created more than one race.

Answer 7

Just different chromosomes over the course of millions of years became more dominant. The people who were one color were better able to adapt to that area, so gradually the ones who adapted better became more dominant.

Answer 8

Why are there hundreds of different species of birds, dogs, cats, bugs, snakes, monkeys, etc?? God likes variety, don't you? Stop asking race questions.

Answer 9

God says in the Quran : "we created you from tribes and nations so that ye may know one another"

Answer 10
