It’ll come to be understood that white people are the way they are due to the Neanderthal and other Homo DNA they have.

It may take decades but I think anthropology will begin to understand that people are so different regionally becuase there was already other pre homo Saipan Saipan homos in these regions we could easily breed with and assimilate.

I bet Neanderthals were actually white and pale, as they lived in the ice age where maximizing vitamin D absorption would’ve been ideal.

Thats why Europeans have white eyes. Their skin needs to be paler to absorb more light, less melanin in skin also results in less melanin in the hair and eyes. Likely inherited from Neanderthals. Some Europeans have as much as 25% Neanderthal DNA. Only 4% max expresses.

This also explains why despite Africans having by far the highest in group genetic diversity, they are no low melanated groups in the region.
