Why are some people from Brazil darker than others?

Question

For example.....

Ronaldinho is darker

Kaka is white

They're both from Brazil though.

Answer 1

Brazil is very simliar to the US.  the US has a very large mixture of different people.  Alot of spanish.. and lot of african but mostly alot of Europeans just like Brazil.  We have the whitest people here and also the darkest.  Just like Brazil.   The people from Brazil came from generally the same place Americans came from.  Europe, Africa and Latin America.   alot of times i cant even tell the difference between a brazilian and an american

Oh yea.. and brazil speaks "Portuguese"

Answer 2

Alot of the people there in South America are usually descendants of Africans or Spainiards who were brought on ships by Europeans. And they just stayed there and made that home. I know a guy who was from Brazil but his ancestors were actually from Portugal. And most of the people speak spanish since they were of course brought by Spanirds. Its just like here in the USA, colors everywhere, it beautiful. Everything is better in color!

Answer 3

must be the genes/colour of the skin of their parents

Answer 4

I am guessing their genes as well as how much time one spends in the sun :)))
