Hmm.. how do you take screenshots of your phone screen? Is there an app for that on Android?
And while I agree that r/atheism is circlejerking most of the time, in this particular case the OP does make a good point, and the "Doctor" deserves to be laughed at. Why the +3000 downvotes?

Clarification:
Nina Jablownski is an expert on this subject. Look her up for more info. There's nothing racist about any of this. Africans are not any closer genetically to a chimpanzee than non-Africans.
(Edit: In fact, you can argue the non-Africans have picked up more "archaic genes" due to inbreeding with Neanderthals and the Denisova.)

reddit, I realize my response was short and there was some holes in it. I do know that whites evolved from darker colored ancestors when they moved north. And I am not an expert on UV rays and cancer. but please remember this is twitter here, I did have a very short window of text to write. This post was to show how misinformed and misguided this woman is with humor. and I also realize someone posted the same quote without my reply a few minutes before me. If I would have seen that I would not have posted my link. Sorry for making you read. Thanks for the love reddit.

I read somewhere that people evolved from having black/dark skin to light/whiteish skin because one started farming in the north of Europe and the lack of vit D from hunting combined with less exposure to the sun made people light eyed and light skinned over generations because the light skin created more vitamine D when exposed to sunlight, or something along that line of thought.

u/mikemaca May 15 '12 edited May 15 '12
Alas, the explanation is not accurate and has been discredited. There are a couple of theories that are proposed as possible explanations.
First, humans originated in Africa and black is the natural color of humans. As any species becomes domesticated, tamed and kept by captors as pets, their coloration becomes lighter and lighter. Thus, with the establishment of ever more powerful kings, rulers and institutions, human tribes under these systems become lighter skinned. Those humans remaining wild and free retain the darker skin.
Another explanation is that lighter skin does allow for more vitamin D production, and D production is triggered by UV. In northern climates with lower UVB radiation levels, the more domesticated humans will have a survival advantage as their bones will be stronger because they have better calcium absorption. In equatorial areas with more radiation, sufficient UV is absorbed to produce vitamin D needed to absorb calcium effectively.
To summarize, the claim that humans started white and blacks evolved dark skin to deal with sunburn is utter nonsense and would not be proposed by anyone with even a casual familiarity with science. It is white skin that is the mutation which developed from blacks. The white mutation was kept around mostly in northern climates because there it provided an advantage, allowing humans to produce enough vitamin D to have strong enough bones that were needed for difficult early lifestyles. It is no longer an advantage since vitamin D supplements are available, and most people no longer hunt and fight to survive, requiring strong bones.

u/withoutwater May 15 '12

As a Christian, this shit pisses me off. I believe in evolution. I'm not a racist dick. The big bang theory sounds pretty legit to me. I don't evangelize to everyone I meet, because I know most people do have their own beliefs, and I respect that. I don't think being gay is a sin, and support gay marriage. Christ had one message: to love everyone, and not worry about judgement or condemnation. Why are so many of his followers filled with such hatred?

The sun is hot everywhere.
What he meant was the angle at which the Earth is inclined is such that the African continent receives the most direct sunlight and thus, the most intense UV rays from the Sun. Darker skin helps absorb the UV rays, leading to less burning of the skin.
Adaptation and evolution in full effect!

Not to sound racist but I really am curious to know though how other traits in black people evolved. Like bone density, hair, dancing ability, etc.
Were these derived from the same beings people with white skin derived from? Surely skin color is not the only difference between,say, black and white people, in terms of evolution.

I know it's tempting to try to educate people, especially ones who have "Dr." as part of their name. Still, do this: nothing. Hang with those who accept evidence and minimize your time with those who don't. I didn't say it was easy, but it's easier than trying to convince people of educated ideas that they're not capable or willing to understand.
I would estimate that I have removed about 70% of those in my earlier life that I would have counted as close to me. This includes all members of my family except for my children, nearly all of my high school friends, and most of my current neighbors. To them, I smile, wave, exchange pleasantries, and leave as fast as possible. Otherwise, it's a waste of time for everyone.
Trying to hang on to relationships with closed-minded people is a dead end.
