let me tell you our creation myth:

In a time long ago, God made people. He got clay, formed them into human shapes, and burned it. The first one he got was pale-skinned and he thought, it didn't cook right because it was pale. So he made one again, burned it longer this time and when he took it out again, he shook his head because it was overcooked. It was dark-skinned.

Lastly, he made another one, burned it and when he got it out of the kiln (or something), it had a ice shade of brown and God thought it was perfectly made.

Just felt like sharing people. Every culture has a creation myth.

Consider the following: Omni-potent, allknowing god making mistakes.

B-but I have freckles...

or maybe its because of how the skin slowly adapts to its surroundings like how a person gets a tan over time, through generations their skin slowly just naturally changes to a colour that suits the harsh environments

still doesnt explain that if people think africans are human, why are they the only ones with big apelike noses and lips and big ears
no amount of sunlight does that

actually, bigger noses kind of evolved for the cold (looked at the Eskimos) - if you have a bigger nose, the more efficient it becomes to heat the air coming inside your body.

tell that to the scandanavians, they dont have huge beaks

originally all humans had things like that, as humans started to move north it got colder and the human body adapted to have smaller appendages so that there was a smaller likely hood of frostbite.

then please explain why after many thousands of years, there isnt much difference between native siberians, native canadians and native americans,
historically they are all the same people, spread over time distance and climate yet no real genetic differences

by your logic, shouldnt the Inuits of canada have smaller noses and pale skin?
User avatar #211 to #198 - wormman ONLINE (11/25/2012) [-]
its a matter of time and natural selection.
that and members of the first nation where once the same people as the siberians but they came across the land bridge to the americas. for the matter of climate canada and the upper united states have a similar climate to that of siberia.
I have no idea what a time distance is.
last time i checked most inuits do have small noses, granted i dont know any inuits either.

Indians like the Inuit were very adaptive people.   
Within a few years most of the Inuit knew how to respond to the harsh winters.   
Their faces were concealed by rags so they really didn't change since they already adapted to the harsh conditions they were.   
Indians also learned very quickly how to live and make shelters since they all share a knowledge of ''living of the lands''   
   
The people in europe just did their normal stuff with them adapting over generations. Also they had a longer time to adapt since humanity started in Africa and Europe is closer to African than America, by using the Berin Straight, all the way trough siberia, humanity reached America. So that means indians had less time to develop generation wise.

and skin color?
User avatar #160 to #157 - braddlesxp (11/25/2012) [-]
why dont you just google it.
User avatar #174 to #160 - konradkurze (11/25/2012) [-]
okay
googled it, and the answers are either blacks are less evolved or they suffered some form of disease/birth defect that causes such things

I did say I was sharing a** creation myth** because I felt like it.

And I know that after watching enough documentaries on the subject so I really don't get why you replied at all.
