The question I raised is one I've often wondered about: at what
point did humans diverge into different races? So I jumped to the
conclusion that this was what you were talking about. As an
evolutionist, I tend to think everything comes from the effects
of the environment (plus historical & morphological constraints,
chance etc).
I have to wonder about your intended meaning. Same colored skin
means equality, different colored means unequal? Skin color doesn't
come from environment? What does it come from?
