"To my knowledge, creationists agree that animals (and people), over time, adapt to their environments with regard to coloration. Am I wrong?"
To my knowledge it may be true that crationists agree on that, but the idea itself is incorrect.
1.Eskimos are clearly darker than Icelanders. Pigmys living in dark forests are often darker than neighbors living in sunnier areas. 2. You may have meant to say species, rather than "people" or "animals" otherwise we'd be back to the old Russian Lysenkoism. Species adapt and evolve. Individuals don't.

There are exceptions to the rule, but that doesn't mean the concept is invalid. Perhaps Eskimos weren't there as long as science thinks. Perhaps they were black when they arrived, and perhaps they are still changting? I do believe people adapt to their environments, but that it takes longer, especially since we have the intelligence to shelter ourselves well from the elements. Somehow, humans became diverse, and I absolutely believe that we adapted to our environments. What other explanation is there? God did not create "races" He created man.
