How did different colored skins come into existance?

Answer 1

According to the Bible, all people today descended from the survivors of a great Flood - Noah's family, who in turn descended from Adam and Eve (Gen 1:11). There are many stories, from many parts of the world, of a great Flood that only several people survived to repopulate the earth.
But today we have many different groups, often called "races" with what seem to be greatly differing features. The most obvious of these is skin color. Some see this as a reason to doubt the Bible's record of history. They believe that the various groups could have arisen only by evolving separately over tens of thousands of years. However, this does not follow from the evidence.
The Bible tells us how the population that descended from Noah's family had one language and were living together and disobeying God's command to "fill the earth" (Gen 9:1, 11:4). God confused their language, causing a break-up of the population into smaller groups, which scattered over the earth (Gen. 11:8-9). Modern genetics shows how, following such a break-up of a population, variations in skin color, for example, can develop in only a few generations. And there is good evidence to show that the various groups of people we have today have NOT been separated for huge periods of time.
One could say there is really only one race - the human race. The Bible teaches us that God has "made from one blood all nations of men" (Acts 17:26. Scripture distinguishes people by tribal or national groupings, not by skin color or physical features. Clearly, though, there are groups of people, who have certain features (e.g. skin color) in common, which distinguish them from other groups. We prefer to call these "people groups" rather than "races," to avoid the evolutionary and racist connotations that have become associated with the word "race."
All peoples can intermarry and produce fertile offspring. This shows that the biological differences between the "races" are not great. In fact, the DNA differences are trivial. The DNA of any two people in the world would typically differ by just 0.2%. Of this, only 6% can be linked to racial categories; the rest is "within race" variation.
This genetic unity means, for instance, that white Americans, although ostensibly far removed from black Americans in phenotype, can sometimes be better tissue matches for them than other black Americans.

Answer 2

i does no longer call this thought ideal, regardless of the undeniable fact that it suits the information: separation of inhabitants finally ends up in differential evolution. (the main glaring occasion is the biota of Australia, which has been separated from the different land hundreds for ninety million years or so.) human beings moved out of Africa into Europe and Asia some hundreds of hundreds of years in the past, and have been separated by ability of distance and organic calamities including ice an prolonged time. The ensuing adjustments are evolutionary.

Answer 3

The hotter and sunnier the climate the darker the skin. That's why Scandinavians are so light and people who have lived for generations near the equator are dark.

Answer 4

I've always been taught that different skin colors were a result of how close our ancestors were to the equator!

Answer 5

I heard that the change began happening around the area we now know as the Middle east. This was during the journey upwards "Out of Africa".

Answer 6

I think it all has everything to do with gene.
