if humanity began in Africa and and the first humans were black, does that mean that whites are mutants?

Question

The far-easterns and the asians are also mutants

Answer 1

life actually began in several places at once,Africa,the middle east and the far east.

Answer 2

They are not mutants. Just different. How people ended up being what they are and where they are is far from resolved, however, and any sensible examination of the possibilities would require an awful lot more time and space and discussion than can reasonably be sought here.

But it is worth mentioning is that this frequently and adamantly proffered contention that the only difference between caucasians and sub-saharan blacks is the color of the skin is patent nonsense. There dozens of physiological differences that can't be explained by a differential in sunlight exposure, however politically uncorrect it is to point that out.

Answer 3

mu·ta·tion Pronunciation (my-tshn)
n.
1. The act or process of being altered or changed.
2. An alteration or change, as in nature, form, or quality.
3. Genetics
a. A change of the DNA sequence within a gene or chromosome of an organism resulting in the creation of a new character or trait not found in the parental type.
b. The process by which such a change occurs in a chromosome, either through an alteration in the nucleotide sequence of the DNA coding for a gene or through a change in the physical arrangement of a chromosome.
c. A mutant.

to the previoius answer who claimed to be a teacher
where does the definition say it has to be a new species?

we all have mutated greatly since humanity first evolved...
some of us just took better advantage of it

Answer 4

Fonz...Humanity began in Africa but Civilization began in 5 river valleys. The Tigris and Euphrates in the Middle East, The Huang-he in Asia, the Indus river valley in Southern Asia, and the Nile in Africa.

To answer the question, Whites and Asians are not Mutants. They're different because they lived in a much more different environment. Human beings adapt to the environment they're in. When the world was still one big land mass, Gonawalda I think that's how it's spelled, there was migration. The human beings that migrated North adapted to that environment. To adapt to an environment, changes have to be made. The changes came in the form of skin color and hair style.

Answer 5

If we take your argument and call changes in the original animal a mutation then all forms of life are mutants of the earliest life.
Evolution is the way we explain the changes and we have evolved lighter coloured skin because of climate but how do you know that the first humans were black just because they are from Africa, they may have evolved darker skin because of the climate

Answer 6

In a way, I suppose, but then everything is, in a way. Each of the races exhibit mutations that proved to be beneficial in their environment, or at least not harmful, like the paler skin of Europeans or the eyefolds of Asians.

Mutations are just changes in the DNA of whatever the thing is. Every difference that we see from whatever the first alive thing was is a mutation. If a mutation is beneficial, or at least not harmful, it stays. If it hurts the organism, it disappears when the thing dies without leaving children. If enough build up, you get different species. Over enough time, the various mutations make the species look really different. This is how you go from an amoeba to a dog or a person.

Answer 7

Humans evolved from a common ancestor millions of years ago and inhabited Africa for a long period of time. Scientific evidence (i.e. the fossil record) proves that much of human evolution occurred in Africa. They gave rise to other human species who eventually migrated to Asia and Europe. The process of evolution involves a series of changes that cause species to arise, adapt to the environment, and become extinct. There are no "mutants" in our world, unless you've been watching the XMen movies.

Answer 8

in case you have been uneducated you could desire to assert whites are purely albino black human beings. yet you ought to understand that the team that went Northward into Europe from Africa more advantageous and more advantageous plenty in a diverse way than people who stayed in Africa. The chilly climate in Europe replaced the way they look from blacks in Africa. The question is: whilst do you initiate asserting a sparkling tribe of human beings is a seperate race from their ancestors (who look thoroughly diverse) Its no longer like it took an afternoon to make white human beings, it took tens of hundreds of years. So sure white is a sparkling race, and seperate from Black.

Answer 9

Mutation is a mechanism of evolution. Everything alive is a result of mutation. You are misunderstanding the meaning of the word. Every generation of life of every species experiences mutation. You are using the word like 'mutant' from a bad horror movie. If you want the simplest answer, though; Yes, white skin is a mutation as is 5 fingered hands and ear lobes.

Answer 10

Man evolved from earlier man, in Africa, no-one knows what colour they were, or how much hair they had. If they were hairy then skin colour might not have been black. Who knows. Migration occurred over several million years to the north, and east and then to the rest of the world. Civilisations settled and developed in fertile areas around large river areas like the Euphrates, Tigris, Yangtse etc

Either way, Black or not, its good to know that even the whitest-of-white neonazi red neck has indelible African genetic material, which hopefully will somehow spring forth in his children.

Answer 11

Yes, it does mean they are mutants, in the sense that they have mutated genes compared to the original African populations. Of course, Africans today also have plenty of mutations that make them different from ancient populations, so today's Africans could be considered mutants, too.
