If we Evolved are White or Black People Higher on the Evolutionary Chain.?

Answer 1

Neither. The skin color is the result of a substance called Melanin in the skin. People whose ancestors lived in places where there was lots of harsh sunlight developed more melanin to combat the intensity of the sun. People of African descent are not the only ones that defeloped that. The Indiginous peole of Australia developed a similar pigmintation as did a number of South American peoples.

Those that lived in climates where there was little harsh sunlight did not develop the amounts of melanin needed to combat harsh sunlight. Simple climate induced development, nothing more, nothing less.

Answer 2

White people, but whites are not the top. The next to be phased out is American Indian, then Mexicans, Then Blacks,Then Arabs, then whites, and then asians. But during this evolutionary fallout, , We have new species emerging called neohomo or new man, which they will ALL look the same

Answer 3

No. Evolution does not say this in anyway. If you are succeeding in reproducing and leaving offspring you are successful according to evolution. The species that survive best and leave most offspring are most successful. This is all evolution says. The idea of superiority or more evolved is a human subjective concept. After all you could frame it in different context such as what species are best at living in certain enviroments you would arrive at different answers depending on the enviromental circumstance and situation you choose.

Answer 4

We did evolve and neither is higher. It is just a physical trait that evolved based on habitat. That's like saying "is a cat or dog higher on the evolutionary chain?"

It's just different and neither one is better.

Answer 5

Equal, because evolution doesn't stop.

Every living organism on this planet has been evolving for an equal period of time because we all descend from a common ancestor.

The extent to which we are forced to evolve may differ if our environment isn't changing.

Answer 6

There is no such things as an "evolutionary chain". It doesn't work that way. Evolution is about species adapting and diverging; branching off to form new species and sub-species. It's more like a tree then a ladder or chain.

Answer 7

Orientals have bigger brains, blacks are taller, and whites seem to be developing numerous fatal allergies, so its sounds like whites are on the losing side of the evolutionary chain. Now, if the blacks and orientals could just get together, that would be true evolution, smart and strong.

Answer 8

Asians are genetically the newest people on the planet.

According to scientist, it would take 27 or so thousand years for a population of darker and more pigmentation humans to lose that pigmentation if they were to live in a part of the earth that had less sun/radiation.

Answer 9

Each race has developed the characteristics that are best suited to the habitats their ancestors lived in. None are inherently better than others-creationists don't do themselves any credit by asking facile questions like this. That's why I have contempt for creationism and never miss an opportunity to administer an intellectual pounding to its adherents.

Answer 10

Neither. The lack of pigmentation in lighter skin-tones is simply a reaction to the lower levels of sunlight in the areas where light-skinned peoples came to settle.

By way of example, caucasians who have settled in South Africa, display a huge amount of freckling, moles etc. I'd say this is most likely the reverse reaction taking place slowly over a few dozen generations.
