Does anyone know what caused white people to be white and black people to be black? Maybe prehistoric lions ate prehistoric white monkey-people? 2/17/2006 10:40:12 PM |

a black person made a deal with the devil and sacrificed his skin tone.
thus...the birth of white people...

skin color is largely arbitrary, but I imagine pale people in arid regions were sunburned and less likely to get it on as much as the darkies. really, don't think of evolution as something that happens to an animal, but an observation of a set of average expectations. Whatever's sexy gets reproduced. Whatever is sexy about what comes of that is more likely to get reproduced... exponentiate all the times diseased, stupid embodiments of a species get ignored in favor of the tall, strong, virile, capable embodiments, and the race moves in that direction. Surroundings and bizarre factors determine what will be repeatably sexy....
which is why the latin explosion is happening. Those people are hot. We gon' have to fuck one another until we're the same color.
"The evidence bible" whoa. if anyone wants to launch an argument against evolution, they need to do it without wrapping it up with a sales pitch. Seriously... the same ridiculous video without coming back around to jesus or god.... it'd do way better. There are idiots out there who also hate religion they're alienating.

More than likely because the northern regions of the earth had less sun. You need sun to produce Vitamin D, and dark skin blocks the sun. So in areas with less sunlight, people with lighter skin were healthier and more likely to survive.2/18/2006 11:14:46 AM |

The thing that really gets me is when they use the hoax/mistake human ancestors as evidence against evolution. Yeah, someone faked a skull once. That doesn't make the entire idea bogus. The important thing to remember is that the scientific community recognizes its blunders as hoaxes and mistakes. Those guys in the video don't seem to realize that in science it's okay to be wrong. In fact, nothing makes professors happier than the thought of proving their colleagues wrong. Failure is just as important as success.
And the video even uses the old Creationist favorite, giving some out of context quotes. At least they didn't use the Second Law of Thermodynamics argument, I might've had to choke a bitch. 2/18/2006 11:42:39 AM |

well, A) like I said, there was less sun (more ozone, too) and B) I'd imagine it's pretty rare for anyone to die of skin cancer before they reach reproductive age. 2/18/2006 12:12:32 PM |

basically, dark skin prevents the destruction of folate that occurs due to exposure to UV-radiation. low levels of folate are directly related to a higher incidence of spina bifida. dark skin also protects sweat glands, etc from UV radiation. in contrast, pale skin allows for more synthesis of Vitamin D (which prevents rickets). 2/18/2006 3:25:36 PM |

AND, the original humans were dark-skinned, just like their ape ancestors. as they migrated from africa, they got lighter 2/18/2006 3:30:13 PM |

Usually, that's the point where I bring up all the sacred "relics" and vials of saints' blood (actually pig's blood) that religious leaders have "authenticated" over the years.2/18/2006 3:57:40 PM |

Who thinks different races came from different types of monkeys.
Whites look more like chimps and blacks look more like gorillas.
There are missing links to prove this, but I'm inclined to believe it.

This is a shitty attempt at disproving evolutionary theories. If you ask most people about how a nuclear bomb works, or how a plant grows you'll find that no one has any idea. But it doesn't mean it doesn't happen at all. This is gay... 2/18/2006 5:08:15 PM |
