Does anybody really know how color "evolved"?

Yep, it's directly correlated with the length of time a given group lived in an area with a lot of sunlight (the exceptions, such as Eskimos, etc. are because eskimos haven't lived in the artic all that long.

Possibly you have explained WHY it evolved, but without a timeline, we still don't know much about Tut.

They've been living there for as long as I can remember.

Some examples are the Aryans of Iran and India -- the ones in the colder, northern portions of these two lands tend to be quite light-skinned, though still with melanin (so a light brown skin color), while those in the south of India tend to be dark. The ohter Caucasians in the extreme south of India, the Dravidians (Tamils) can be nearly pitch black, darker than Negroes, but they still have Caucasoid features. ANd no wonder, the land where they live is under a 50C sun in the summer.
