Different races?

Question

Do you think that because of albinism in Africans, people became white with blonde hair? - because all the albino africans that i see have blonde/orange hair

Answer 1

You might be right...

Answer 2

To add to what Jimdragontech said:

No, albinism isn't correct, because light-skinned people can be albino too.

Around the equator, in the warmer regions of the earth, dark skin pigmentation was an advantage because it protected people from the sun. But farther north, lighter skin pigmentation became more of an advantage because it helps in the production of vitamin D.

We need sunlight to produce vitamin D in our bodies, and more melatonin, i.e. darker skin, blocks out the sun and inhibits this. In regions with a lot of sun, this isn't a problem, but in the north with less sun, it was more of a concern than skin protection, so people developed smaller amounts of melatonin.

It's all basically human adaptation to new enviornments, and it doesn't really happen anymore because now we change our enviornments instead of ourselves.

Oh, and according to scientists and archeologists, humans first arose in Africa and spread out from there.

Answer 3

nope. Albinism is a form of genetic aberration that can occur in any mammalian structure, and sometimes in lizards and other reptiles.
A change in melanism (the chemical that causes dark skin) is the cause of different skin colors, although I can't remember specifically if melanism can be applied to oriental gene structures.
With changes is temperature and levels of untraviolet radiation as people moved north out of africa, the levels of melanin in the skin began to change.You can see that directly even today as people with scandinavian heritages tend to burn more and tan less than other peole who are just a few hundred miles further south. Natural skin color changes with closeness to the equator (it gets darker) because of greater exposure to ultraviolet radiation, which increases as one gets closer to the equator.
Simply put: skin color(and hair) is directly related to the position on the map that your ancestors have occupied for several generations.
over time, chemical changes in the food and blood end up affecting the manner in which the genes are used and nourished, and the way in which people, and other animals change to match the requirements of the environment in which they live.

Answer 4

Different Races? NO they are the same no matter how they look they are still considered africans!

Albinism states what you just mentioned so yes! its a failure to produce enough melanin in the skin, hair and eyes.

Answer 5

It could be just the opposite. Maybe people migrated towards hotter environments and the skin evolved to a darker shade for protection. Maybe there were cells that evolved into human beings all over the planet and due to different climates all developed and evolved a little differently. Maybe there was/is another planet somewhere with living organisms upon it and, possibly, an explosion caused "micro-bits" to venture into space and eventually land on our planet. Then, the "micro-bits" evolved into more advanced creatures and eventually humans. Forgive me if I just annoyed everyone with my brainstorming. :)

Answer 6

most likely it is a very low level of orange. b/c albinism eliminates the color pigments of he body.

Answer 7

no, when africans started migrating from africa to other spots in europe, over thousand of years, they were not exposed to the sun near as much. therefore they did not produce near as much melanoma in the skin and hair and eventually people became lighter.

Answer 8

nah thats a single allele (resessive) disorder where there is a decreased production of melenin in the skin, hair, and eyes

Answer 9

yes, it is a mutation that did form with albinoism.

Answer 10

are you white with dark skin? and big lips?
