True, but that doesn't mean that white people are 'melanin deficient'. We have exactly the right amount of melanin for our needs, which is to say, very little.It's true. Melanin is an evolutionary advantage for people residing in climates with strong regular sunlight as it helps mediate the damage caused by sunlight. Similarly pale skin is an evolutionary advantage for people in climates where there is weak sunlight as it makes vitamin D production easier.
In the summer we are melanin deficient, otherwise I wouldn't get a sunburn every time I eat lunch outside. And darker people are melanin excessive in a Canadian winter.True, but that doesn't mean that white people are 'melanin deficient'.

You think the girl in the video made the reference about melanin deficiency in the context of science? lolIn the summer we are melanin deficient, otherwise I wouldn't get a sunburn every time I eat lunch outside. And darker people are melanin excessive in a Canadian winter.
It's not a commentary on the value of a person, just science.
Unless you like spending time on a sunny beach...True, but that doesn't mean that white people are 'melanin deficient'. We have exactly the right amount of melanin for our needs, which is to say, very little.
:facepalm:No this is a serious question, I was wondering if high Melanin and black skin protect them from sunburns. So I'm curious to know if a black person ever gets sunburn at all or if he may get it but he has to be exposed much longer to the sun
Use sunscreen. Given that Blacks have higher rates of skin cancer than Whites, they should be using it, too.Unless you like spending time on a sunny beach...
Have you ever learned anything about evolution? Okay, it's obvious you haven't. You are making the stupid assumption that somehow the lack of sunlight causes a mutation to the melanin creating gene. In reality it is constant random mutations and the ones that provide a benefit are more likely to get passed on. And 10,000 years is the blink of an eye in terms of human evolution.So why Aboriginal canadians who lived in cold climates for thousands of years have darker skin? And how come that white european populations who moved to Warmer climates such as Southern US and Australia haven't developed dark skin yet ?
Where did you get that piece of info from?Use sunscreen. Given that Blacks have higher rates of skin cancer than Whites, they should be using it, too.
Ashkenazi Jews are known to have origins in the Levant, which Israel is smack dab in the middle of. But exactly who “European” Ashkenazi Jews are has long been debated. An analysis of the gene database shows that the original Ashkenazi Jews were about half European and half Middle Eastern. They lived in the medieval era, about 600 to 800 years ago, according to the analysis – and numbered just 350 or so people.Lol, you're the one who argued in another thread that european jews are descendants of middle easterns. Then how did they evolve in only 2000 years to have white skin blond hair and blue eyes ? If their ancestors came from Middle east they should have looked like palestinians who have darker skin than europeans and ashkenazi jews. So you have to be consistent because you claimed that on this thread this aborginals cannot evolve in only 10 000 years but in another thread argue that european jews have middle eastern ancestors
No but C-M's bitching has nothing to do with it either. At least she has some scientific backup whether she knew it or not.You think the girl in the video made the reference about melanin deficiency in the context of science? lol
Again you show absolutely no understanding of genetics. It is about RANDOM mutations. More time means more likelihood of noticeable changes to a species or group but significant changes can happen in a short time. Add in a few mixed marriages and voilà.Lol, ...
How fucking pathetic that you reject a study simply because an Israeli paper reports on it. Do you ever wonder why people accuse you of having a ridiculous bias?lol your source is a biased Israeli newsapper? Here you go :...
Haaretz is extremely biased. You really talk a lot of nonsense. It's the Fox News of the Israeli left.It's biased newspaper not because it's israeli but because it's a zionist newspaper. For example Haaretz is a non zionist Israeli newspaper and therefore not biased.
Israel doesn't have an apartheid policy.I'm very fan of reading Haaretz articles and don't find it biased. It tells the truth about Israel's apartheid policy
I would love to hear your definition of what makes a 'zionist' newspaper. I'll assume simply because it doesn't criticize Israel's existence.It's biased newspaper not because it's israeli but because it's a zionist newspaper. For example Haaretz is a non zionist Israeli newspaper and therefore not biased.
If you've ever met ant Roma you'd know that there were plenty of blond haired blue eyed ones. A small insular breeding population also makes random changes less likely to take hold.so how come gypsies who immigrated from India to Europe at the same time as who you pretend jewish immigrants from Middle east remained brown as east indians and jews became whites even blonds all of sudden ?
Interesting. I live in Europe and frequent countries with plenty Roma people and have never met a blonde, blue eyed one. kudos. Where did you see them? Or did you mean a a 'half Roma'?If you've ever met ant Roma you'd know that there were plenty of blond haired blue eyed ones. A small insular breeding population also makes random changes less likely to take hold.
Seriously, just get a damn book about genetics.
p.s. 'gypsy' is a deragoatory term.
