Colour blind
editif skin colour as stated is "ranges from the darkest brown to the lightest hue" where does black and white fall "within" that colour scale? 101.119.167.91 (talk) 17:42, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
Skin colour evolution
editFrom under the Geography section, "we do not know when skin color is likely to have evolved" - Templeton 2002. Yes we do, Hanel 2020: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/exd.14142#exd14142-bib-0058 14.2.196.234 (talk) 11:07, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- I have completely blanked that section as it was stolen verbatim from https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/exd.14142 and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC212702/ ... someone should rewrite it, in their own words. Tobus (talk) 00:38, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- There is no evidence that black people are related to apes as apes only have black faces not black skin. There's overwhelming evidence in the Bible that Noah had three sons whom all the nations come from in Genesis chapter 9 and 10. Ham means Black or burnt. Like his mother, his skin was dark to black. His sons took dominion of the African continent which was given to them by YaHWeH.They were however cursed into slavery by Noah, Ham's father, who was white, like his firstborn Jepthath. Shem, which means middle, was mixed. If you venture to the Caribbean you'll witness plenty of evidence of this biological truth as is in my family. Please share this in love not ignorance. 31.111.63.243 (talk) 16:12, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
Sources appear to be unrelated to claims
editSpecifically numbers 6 through 11 are about testing and preventing various birth defects but do not seem to address the issue of melanin in human evolution. 2601:602:87F:9906:C871:FFCA:724A:3EE0 (talk) 19:06, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Agreed - they are WP:CITEKILL and look more like WP:SYNTH - replaced with a ref that actually states the claim. Tobus (talk) 00:26, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
