The Black Man was God ?

drop real science.


polar bears fur is hollow and acts like fiber optics. directing the sunlight onto the black skin. the melanin absorbs that shit and converts the light into energy.

eating sunshine....

closest thing you came to eating sunshine was putting you face between a hookers legs.

ONGH!


now it would seem to me...idk i may be retarded, ask dan....
but it seems to me that in a place thats colder where animal and vegetation are less abundant, being able to get nutrients from the sun and maximize the "little bit of sun that they get" would be a nice adaptation.


idk... my down sydrome is actin up today.

now it would seem that we view the sun in different ways.
some think of the sun as something to be shielded from.
"dangerous UV rays"


some think of the sun as the engine that powers life on this planet.

maybe your suntan is your body trying to get more of that good shit since darker skin absorbs MORE light.

everybody should take it personal

inheritance means something belongs to you

if you inherit a mess - its yours

if you inherit a reality where people have no idea what is going on - its yours

consider yourself fortunate to find like-minds or any other figure in your reality who is willing to share the burden of cleaning things up with you

Yeah, that makes sense to me. I read the same thing on "wiki answers" earlier.

Im not arguing.

I like the sun. I'm not arguing about that either.

But too much exposure to the sun is not healthy for you. I don't care about that because of my swarthy olive skin, but that is the way it is.

I believe that humans evolved from simians. The simians originally had(and still have) lighter skin, but when hair was lost, the skin became darker, as the hot sun in africa caused an evolutionary darkening of the skin, as the melanin would protect from the harmful rays of the sun, not necessarily to prevent radiation, but probably to regulate folate levels

When people migrated to colder climates, the lack of Vitamin D became a problem, and people became lighter.

This article sums it up better:

i watched animal kingdom and had a Ntl Geo subscription as a kid.
but wikki is acceptable.




i'm not even saying Yakub did it.
i'm just saying the "climate argument doesn't hold water"


what animals have white skin? barring albino mutations.

Most mammals are not hairless to the degree of humans. Regardless, that monkey in the picture has pink skin, and is more "white" than "black"

Nobody is "white" or "black". People fall within a spectrum. I have seen some dark africans, but nobody is "black".

Technically speaking, somewhere along the transition from simian to human, there was a genetic mutation that caused humans' skin to get darker.

Genetic mutations can be used to describe evolution and adaptation. However, I don't think "albinoism" played any sort of major role in that.

go play in the sandbox when grown folks are talking.

i read the article. from what i gathered, the theory has holes in it that he's still trying to fill.

the problem i see is this:
if the primate lost hair THEN turned black - there was a hairless white "protosapien" walking around for a few MILLION years.

then hes gets all Negroed up. moves out of africa and in a matter of a few THOUSAND years he gets calcified.
(i grinned when it said Vitamin D helped with calcium production)

it seems to me that vitamin D is not on the critical path to survival. at least as it relates to skin pigment. if it was, the hairless white protohuman would not have made it.


personally i don't think this white missing link existed and its a way of inserting the caucasian into prehistory.

"well man was white with hair 1st then he turned black"





IMO

Fair enough.

I'm not going to pretend like I "know" this is what happened, and I fully acknowledge that there are holes in the theory.

But I think that it is the most logical theory available as of now.

Again, that is my opinion.

Scientists and Archaeologists tend to think that differences in skin color are the results of adaptation, and I agree. As far as EXACTLY what led to these adaptations, I don't know for certain.

But my girl is an archaeologist, and I'm sure she has helped sway my opinion.

I don't think that science has figured everything out yet, but I respect their opinions to that of the layperson.

Again, if somebody else has a reasonable theory, while I may not agree, I certainly don't have the ability to disprove it, and respect their right to have it.

BUT when Sunny says shit about Yakub, I find that type of shit to be far-fetched.

It seems that people who emphasize drastically different theories, whether they be black or white, tend to have racist agendas.

The whole concept of "race" is man-made and arbitrary, and usually used for evil.

Again, it is a spectrum, and there is no real "black" or "white".

We already established that.

I am his descendant, and am just as close to him, genetically, as you are.

In fact, probably closer.

Please do not be jealous of my original manhood.
