When people moved up to the colder climes, they did not "know" they were going to turn white. Also, because the people who did first inhabit various areas were probably very small groups, you would have the whole population developing characteristics like the founding population as far as looks and stature.

But it is the whole population that gradually changes in evolution, not individuals. If you wanted to figure out who is the "most evolved", we already know the answer to that. The black races in Africa have the most alleles at the various loci and are the most evolved. In fact, the bulk of genetic diversity is carried by the blacks in Africa.

A strange argument. As I understand it, evolution is theoretically propelled by weeding out diversity within isolated populations by natural selection and genetic drift, the opposite of your attempt at PC.
