Wonder what it could mean in terms of humanity, if it means anything. I thought of this for my class essay in Anthro this summer but my prof said no

  1. The lack of skin pigmentation might approximate the skin tone of people of European descent but this is because those of European stock have low levels of skin pigmentation (melanin) to allow for vitamin D production with low levels of exposure to UV radiation.  There is no other connection.  The features of the Africans still appear like those of African descent (sans pigment).  I went to high school with an albino black girl, she was obviously black.  A (black) friends mom was albino, harder to tell but still had black features.  The Asians still look like Asians except for the hair color.  The Indian girl and old man are descended from the same stock as Europeans (the Proto-Indo-Europeans) and therefore do resemble Europeans.


  2. They only look White/Nordic, because of the light skin and light hair.If they were any other color,such as a dark hue, your opinion of them would differ.

  3. I only knew two, from Minneapolis, MN. They both were anemic, sickly all the time, Sun tolerant and had allergies.

  4. not to be mean or anything but that was scary

  5. All albinos have white and skin but red eyes. They have no colour or something like that, so all albinos look the same.
