Erm, since we were all came from africa... and were all black in the begining, does that mean were evolved..?

Question

does that mean were evolved black people?

i see that people from different ethnic backgrounds are good at certain things...

like... then asians seem really good at maths and logical thinking in symbols and such

black people are good at making music and have a good sense of rythym

and white people are good at complaining

dont you think?

lolllll

i have no shred of evidence for these steriotypes but im judging from the different types of people ive been friends with.

andddd dont be offended if you know its not true... haha what would be the point in being offended by a simple misconception or lie?

:D

Answer 1

No.  We didn't evolve from black people, we evolved from apes.  Apes are not black.  And inbetween the stages of man and apeman we ventured into othe lands out of africa (Eurasia) and slowly began evolving into what is best suited to live in the environment.

More stereotypes based on facts for you.

Black people have larger lungs and faster hearts than others, so they can run faster for longer, which came from the african planes (they have to catch food somehow, and african animals are fast).

Asians-  ???

White people have evolved into powerhungry people who turned gods into divine beings-  I can explain more about white people easier-

Answer 2

When God first made man, his first attempt was too dark. He tried again and he was too pale. At the third attempt, he got it just right - the Chinese.

Answer 3

hey path.......the oldest remains doesn't mean the first....... descended maybe but there's no denying our closest relatives their place.... within the primates we see different skin pigment..... the gorilla has black skin.... the orangutan yellowish...... the chimp pink....... all different....so maybe look to see any similarity a primate genus has with a human race........maybe.....

white man...... chimp...

black man......gorrilla...

yellow man..... orangutan..................

Answer 4

The first apes came out of Africa. But some apes wanted to go elsewhere so they went to Europe, Asia, etc. And adapted to those climates while other apes stayed in Africa and adapted too.

Brown skin= tropical weather and thus lots of melanin. Hair grew more short and curly because you don't need long hair in the heat.

White skin= not much use for melanin (even though they still have it) Hair grew longer and had more oil to keep it warm them warm in the cold weather (ala Vikings had long hair)

So no, you weren't black in the beginning you were an ape who evolved because of the environment.

Answer 5

No. By saying we all originated from Africa it doesn't mean that we were all once black. And your stereotypes are generally to do with cultural norms and values rather than anything genetic to do with race.

Answer 6

"Race and Culture," Thomas Sowell, Ph.D.  (An African-American, btw) is worthwhile, as he provides similar point of view to yours.

He notes that many cultures adapt to their situation, e.g. some African tribes becoming better traders, because they lived along rivers, between other groups, etc.

It's interesting to note that many southern/eastern Africans have Asian genetics, due to Chinese trading centuries ago.

Also, in Peru, there are groups with essentially Taiwanese genetics ("1434," Menzies).

shows how the more-intelligent Jewish group (due to severe selection processes among Ashkenazi Jews in Europe, 13th century to 19th century) in America is blending into the American average range of late.

You might enjoy Mark Prophet's "The Path of the Higher Self" as a counterbalance toward more awareness.

Answer 7

...erm yourself...

...evolved, yes, but have we improved or devolved, that is the question...

...my personal view is that h**l is where we are all alike - yike! - see "No Exit" the 1-act play by Jean-Paul Sartre...

...perhaps those of us who are less evolved are the ones who think perfection can only be one thing and must be keyed to the perfect template, themselves...whatever they conceive that to be...

...my perception is much wider, based on spirit-in-residence, telling the truth by living what you believe, honoring all...but then how do you deal with the criminally insane who want to kill off all but their clones?  Perhaps those who demand clones are insane/living absent from spirit...humans minus spirit are not even animals...because humans do things that animals never would...

How then does society regulate itself?  Governance, what is/is not acceptable and how it is dealt with?  Presumably the U.S. of A. is not an appropriate model, as we have such a high percentage of our population jailed.  Are people in the U.S. so bad?  Or is our governance so bad?  Or is it intertwined?

You see, once you breach polite conversation, real discussion can begin....

Answer 8

we all didient come from africa scientist alot of them  make up dumb ideas and htink they know it all evolution is bs

Answer 9

Ummmmm..... I don't see how the ability to complain can seen as "evolutionary"...

Answer 10

What if we were? Would it change your view of yourself? Skin pigment is just one small part of the way in which the human body has evolved to adapt to its environment and it has no impact on the various skills and talents displayed by individuals. The stereotypes we attach to skin colour didn't exist in their current rigid form until the development of the slave trade and it's need to be justified by regarding any non-white races as inferior, or as having distinct skills. Not all white people are good at complaining, and the stereotype of white british people is that they are not good at complaining (particularly in restaurants), but they are good at whingeing!

Answer 11

No, it means we're descendants of black people who no longer require much melatonin in our skin to protect us from the powerful UV of the tropics.  It's merely an adaptation to local climatic conitions.

Answer 12

i didnt come from black man.

you might of .i also find it hard to digest that i came from a monkey.

Answer 13

And so, your apparent disinclination to press the "Check Spelling" button proves exactly what, evolutionarily speaking?

Helio "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" Centrist

Answer 14

well humans didnt evolve they just adapted to their surroundings, plus how did we evolve if there are people with darker skin color still around, if our skin color evolved then the humans with darker skin color would have died out

Answer 15

So, if we evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

Answer 16

I can sense the lite tone (no pun intended) in your question.  Im black and have heard all my life that black people were the first people of earth (The earliest human remains, "Lucy", found in Ethiopia).  

I wouldn't say that we are evolved "black people," but evolved from black people to become our own.  Black people back then had to come from somewhere.  Ape-like creatures, maybe.  But they are called "black people" or early Africans, not evolved apes, which may offend a lot of us as people.  

At the present moment it really doesn't matter because at what moment does evolution or creation cease?  They are continuous and only perceived in a sequential manner.  Thus it can be said that we even evolved from the previous moment at any time.

Great question!

Answer 17

To pass comment on your words would be to give words to your comments. I will not do this, instead i will refer you to a book. The book (write this down) Charles Darwin on natural selection. The origin of the species, by the same author, will also shed some light on your slightly dark thoughts.
