Did everyone evolved from Africa (black skinned people)...? I don't think so, except by location/geographical area in Africa, but this discovery is only recent. In 10 year, the oldest fossil could be found in Rome. I read an article that said brown or mid skinned people were the human ancestors of all races of the world (including whites, asians and blacks). I kinda agree. Link to article here(3rd or 4th paragraph): http://onehumanrace.com/docs/skin_color.asp
Anyways, they didn't say the oldest human found in Africa was African (black), but he was caucasoid. No one has found any ancient/oldest brown skinned humans in Africa or anywhere on the planet, yet or maybe I need to research more. I used to think everyone/ every race came from themselves and not one African (black) type of people alone. This is most likely the explaination about all ppls beginnings.
SO MY QUESTION IS: DO YOU BELIEVE ALL RACES (including white, asian and black) CAME FROM BROWN OR MID TONED SKINNED PEOPLE?

Well, I don't want to say that I agree with this, even though I said I did. I just wanted to talk about how possible this origin theory could be. I don't disagree, I just don't agree. I'm use to not saying anything. I prefer to not have an opinion or remain neutral. Sorry about the misconception.

Sorry, meant to say I don't diasgree, I want to remain and look at your perspectives from a neutral position.

You're Right "Mj indigo." Color doesn't matter. That's why I disagree that I agreed and want to remain neutral. So, I'm not trying to say this is possible or impossible.

It doesn't make sense to say the oldest person found was "caucasoid" because racial differences didn't start to appear before people migrated to different continents. The colour of the skin of the oldest humans I doubt if scientists could ever determine because all they have is bones. I really don't see why it matters what colour their skin was. Probably dark because they had to survive in the hot sun. There is absolutely no dispute that humans began in Africa.

Scientist analyzed DNA from people in all regions of the world, geneticist have concluded that all humans alive today are descended from a single man (or woman) who lived in Africa around 60,000 years ago. Modern humans, didn't start their spread across the globe until after that time. The race of the original man doesn't matter. He would have been black only because of his geographical location.. and when humans migrated they changed based of living conditions and weather.

Some migrated out of East Africa and skin color changed in accordance to enviornmental climate changes depending on location.

In the bible it says God at one time created all the races but i can't remember where and what race or skin color was first. I would think though that the color of the skin would more than likely be that of an Arab or Israel type darker tone since we orginated from that part of the world.

According to religious teachings we all came from one family, which would be Noah's and backwards to Adam and Eve.
scientific teachings indicate that life started in Africa, most people who originated from there are dark-mid toned people, However, I had a black friend years ago, who had three sisters all with the same mother and father, and one sister was whiter than I am, she was not albino.
Humans are all from one set of decedents, if it could be traced back far enough.

I think you need to more research. The problem is that whites are disturb by the idea of evolving from people of color.

Only God knows and no, I believe that we were all given our own special features.
