European Skin Turned Pale Only Recently, Gene Suggests Ann Gibbons PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA--At the American Association of Physical Anthropologists meeting, held here from 28 to 31 March, a new report on the evolution of a gene for skin color suggested that Europeans acquired pale skin quite recently, perhaps only 6000 to 12,000 years ago.

Whattaya know. We're all descended from blacks/browns.
I hope you realize that's a bunch of Bravo Sierra and so is this theory? LOL.

Maybe this explains the hostility in this country from Southern Whites toward the theory of evolution and the embrace of "creation science". I got no problem with the notion that my six-thousand-years-ago ancestors were negroes, or oriental or polynesian looking or whatever. I didn't get to choose my race, I didn't earn it, and I have no reason to be proud of something I had nothing to do with.
Well of course not...since as you said we had no control over that. I just highly doubt the theory, that's all.

Well, it's genetic theory, which is the same stuff scientists have used to map the genome, cure a bunch of diseases and clone various animals. If it's theory that works, it's generally good theory.
