I know that my blog talks about the facial structure and in my last two posts it's the only thing I have touched on. But all this got me thinking and wondering about the many differences between cultures. I started thinking about one specific culture difference that has caused so many unnecessary fights and deaths before. Skin colour. Personally I believe that the colour of any ones skin does not affect their personality or the way in which they should be treated but I still wondered why it is that skin colour all over the world is so different? If we all came from the same land originally, Pangaea? Again I did some research and an idea began to grow. According to scientific research the earliest evidence of human activity traces back to Africa. Taking this into account how did the change in skin tone occur? It is believed that the paler skin types seen in regions such as Northern Europe were caused by a "mutation" in order to help the body absorb more sun light in the colder less sunny regions.



So the other day I was sitting on the bus when I saw an African girl looking at her hands. It was here that I noticed the pale colour of her palms, I wondered why? And then I remembered reading about the change in colour of skin to absorb sun light, it made sense that her palms were pale when I remembered that the best way to absorb sunlight into the body is by the palms of your hand as the skin is sensitive. So this would help to absorb sunlight. So maybe we the paler skin tone is a change in evolution to help humans absorb more sunlight in colder regions after living in the hotter regions such as Africa.
