Skin color is determined by melanin content. A black persons skin contains more melanin than a brown person who has more melanin in the skin than a white person. The skin color black is the abundance of melanin not the absence of color.
The fully functioning genetic system puts melanin in the skin (although not exactly evenly, a point you seem fixated upon for some unknown reason). People who do not have this fully functioning system have lighter skin.
Thus white skin is the result of mutations within the genetic system that would otherwise cause dark skin.
If your view is that at the beginning the human genome was as God intended and every change after ‘the Fall’ was degenerative; then black people are what God intended and white skin is a ‘fallen state’.
My palms are not white or albino either.
I apologize for asking stupid questions, but I'd like to learn more about the history of humans. The history of history, as it were.
Skin color is determined by melanin content.
Yes.
The skin color black is the abundance of melanin not the absence of color.
Right, See my last post, above.
People who do not have this fully functioning system have lighter skin.
I disagree with this premise.
If your view is....
I haven't formed a view yet, as I don't have all the facts.
