I think the word you wanted was "orginate" not evolved. That could be the reason for some of the hostility you're getting. Or not - there are are some pretty hostile people on Answers.
If I'm not mistaken, it's generally thought that people with caucasoid features probably started out somewhere near the Black Sea - but that's just one theory.
The problem is that race is continually evolving and changing. Our definitions of race are generally more political and social than biological. The cluster of traits that many people call "White" are mostly those of people from Europe that have been seen in Europe since the stone age. Elements of those traits can be seen in people all over the world, but not in that particular combination. (Except for the freakishly pallid skin, I must admit.)

Humans originated in Africa and then spread throughout the world. As humans migrated north, humans with ligher skin survived in harsh cold climates, because lighter skin can better absorb vitamin D(from sunlight). Humans with lighter skin survived and produced offsprings. It's interesting what happened to Neanderthals. There was a fossil in France that was found to have both human and Neanderthal characteristics. So, at least very northern Europeans might have small traces of Neanderthal DNA. As far as southern Europeans(Mediterranean, Middle East Regions), I think that they are more closely related to nothern Africans than to northern Europeans.

The most intense area of blondism (blue eyes, yellow hair) has historically been southern Sweden. Circassians, a minority people from the Caucasus also display blondism.
Limited genetic studies (Cavalli-Sforza et al) indicate that modern Europeans entered via the Middle East into the Caucasus.
Caucasians are actually pink-colored. Natives of far northeast Asia are genuinely white, pallorous, in that blood vessels near the skin are protected by a layer of cold-adapted fat.

ALL human races originated in Africa.
From there they moved out over the world and under the influence of climate and other natural conditions they slowly evolved into the different races we know today.
The fact that Europeans turned into white skinned people is only due to the particular circumstances of their habitat (Europe). Consequently there is no reason to believe that certain races are inferior of superior, they are just adapted to different conditions and therefore they differ in certain characteristics.

Humans origins started in Africa so at some point everyone was dark in skin. Some africans move out of africa to Asia then to Europe and their skin color changed according to the climate. Really there's no such need as "race" everyone is of african descent it's just that some are more recently related.

It's not established that White people only evolved from Europe. That's where their heritage is, in most cases, but that doesn't mean they only come from there.
Europeans would have evolved at very different times throughout history, depending on land and opportunity.

You realize that white people belong to a race called caucasian and that the dark skinned people you see from india and pakistan are also caucasian?
So there is actually a very large area populated by people of the same race.

What?? human beings did no longer evolve out of monkeys!!!! Evolutionists argue that apes and human beings share a typical ancestor. This has been suggested this style of high-quality style of instances already... examine a e book or a minimum of watch a documentary on evolution in the previous posting stuff like this.

Actually every race originated in Africa and came from there, they just migrated across the world. And yes, this is true, so to all those people that like to give people thumbs down, you can't give that to me :D

doesn't anyone who ask these stupid questions read scientific reports or watch the Discovery Channel. Science has already proven that 99.99% of all human life came from Africa. They done an extensive gene research into this years ago. Get over the color thing, we are all related, like it or not.
