AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGISTS MEETING:

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

Yep. My two brothers are fairly dark. However, I am light skinned so people have a hard time seeing any of African features in me.

[Ditter]

Pale skinned women age faster too.

... and political science strikes another blow for oppressed, indigenous peoples of color across the globe.
