So uh... What's the scientific reason for blacks and asians?

Why do they look like that?
Yeah, I'm just being blunt; this is totse after all.
I was thinking about it, and like... man evolved from ape, right? And then, randomly, we evolved into three different groups? Whites, blacks, and Asians? Oh, and then you have the Mexicans and Italians and stuff, I guess.
It just seems weird. I want answers.
Also, I'm just imagining how weird it would be to never know what a black person is, and then seeing one for the first time. lol.

Eyes: They're shaped like that so we can perceive the world in a more intelligent fashion.
Hairy Genitals: Allows for camouflage in the thick Chinese forests.
Small penises: Allows us to fly more easily as we don't have as much weight to carry.
Seems like you would have just evolved to fly better and not to offend the opposite sex.
Sun exposure and concentration of specific genetic traits through breeding in isolation over the course of a few million years.

I think science is looking in the wrong direction when it comes to EVERYTHING evolving from one particular organism. Sure there is possibly one that all others branched off to, but you can't just follow one trace as that could have led to the monkey while the path to mans history lied in another which we blindly turn away from seeing because we are focused i nthis direction.
Perhaps I am making sense or maybe I'm not, but what I'm trying ot say is there are biological similarities of blacks to whites to asians to indians, but there are some strange difference science has also found in the genes. There are some disease and what have you that are only found in asian, white and black cultures that aren't even on the radar for other cultures or "races". We are all different, we are NOT all the same, we shouldn't embrace diversity if we were all the same like we do. The media blitz double standard teaches color blind and diversity at the same time which to logical human being would be completely hypocritical and impossible to embrace. We are being taught to self-suicide and it's a lose-lose. That's how the Jews win by turning our conscious against itself and our human instinct into a crime.
IMO the idea that we came from africa and blacks were the first is bullshit. Look at Adam and Eve what does Adam mean? To blush. The first humans were white. The negros are just descendants of cain who was marked. I believe we were created in gods image and i doubt he looks like a black guy. The myth that blacks were the first are afro centric lies. Also remember that northern Africa like Egypt was all white until they mixed with negros.
First, you're assuming that humans originated in Africa. It's a valid theory, but you say it like it is the one and only theory. Your second assumption is that all Africans are black as black can be. There are many black people with lighter shades and perhaps the first humans weren't even black. Black skin could've been an adaptation to the sun.
Um yeah.
Because Hispanics = Mexicans right?
Retard.
Mexicans came from when the Spanish raped, married, and intermixed with the various indigenous ethnic groups in the region we call Mexico.
may I direct your attention to this:

You are probably correct in saying that the first humans weren't black. This is because humans are highly evolved hairless chimpanzees. It's pretty much accepted in the scientific community that this occurred in Africa. To protect them from the rays of the sun, humans developed darker skin. But there's no point talking about this over a forum without backing it up without evidence, so here you go:

Also, I'm not even going to respond to the religious guy who posted before you. :facepalm:
And to Blunderful, it's believed that Asians have an epicanthic fold (the feature that gives them "squinty" eyes) to block out the glare of the sun that reflected off of snow. Going back to Darwin, and the human migration pattern, early human communities were totally isolated from one another, and isolation from other species (which prevents interbreeding)=faster evolutionary adaptation to their environment.
ORLY? What continent would that be?
Obviously the eighth and most important continent of Hispaniola. Didn't you learn anything in geography class?
But seriously. I think he meant South America.
I now direct your attention to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiregional_origin_of_modern_humans
It isn't as agreed upon as the Out of Africa theory, but both of them are still just theories. But this discussion isn't about where humans originated, but skin color, so we come to this:
Your argument was that white people changed colour as they adapted from black people. You just contradicted yourself.
They are not indigenous to South America. The natives are not Hispanic.
Motherfucking this.
Also, an excellent theory for the development of the white gene is that our ancestors from Africa inter-bred with other species of human they came across, including neanderthals which had pallid skin and red hair and lived in the colder climates of Europe.
EDIT: Also,
'IMO the idea that we came from africa and blacks were the first is bullshit. Look at Adam and Eve what does Adam mean? To blush. The first humans were white.

ROFL
EDIT 2: Also this: Genetic comparisons provide evidence that all living human populations can be traced along maternal lines of descent to a woman who lived in Africa about 200,000 years ago.
Eve was black yo.

My first post was poorly written. By Blunderful's use of the term "white," I jumped to the conclusion that he meant Caucasian. I made an assumption, and that was stupid of me.
Were the first humans "white?" It depends on how you define "white"--race is as much (if not more) of a social/cultural construction than a biological one. What I believe is this:
Humans evolved from chimpanzees and shed their hair. The first humans were whatever color skin the chimpanzees of those times were (it may have been "white," it may have been a darker tan--although you or I might still classify that as being "white," too. Like I said before, race is also socially constructed. People consider everything from pale ginger skin to tan Guido skin "white," and apes might have been any one of those colors. So do I believe the very first humans were "white?" I guess my answer would be yes.) Their skin then became darker over time--"black."
It wasn't until after humans had already developed dark skin that they began migrating out of Africa (and I do recognize the multi-region theory, I just believe that there's a greater amount of evidence to support the Out of Africa theory (and I also realize that they are both theories, but so is the theory of evolution and the theory of relativity, and many people have no problem believing in those). As people migrated, their physiological traits adapted to their environments. So, as a general rule, the further away from the equator they got, the lighter their skin became, so as to absorb more vitamins.
I hope that's a little clearer.
Yes, but these were NOT homo sapiens.
A-ha! You are correct! 100 points! The first humans were probably black.
I knew what I was talking about all along:D
We did not come from apes. if we did why are there still apes:o Seriously though I recognize the similarity between apes and humans but that dosnt mean we came from them.
I think its safe to assume that a small group of apes were the first to evolve, and it all stemmed from there. Its not like all of a sudden every ape in the world was like, shit yeah, lets stand up and build houses!
As such, some were left behind.
Beats the hell out of your Adam and Eve theory. Which has no scientific merit whatsoever.
We share a common ancestor. Why are there so many kinds of birds? Omg they're all different but really alike!
We're not evolved from apes but we do have the same descendants.
So what did we evolve from then?
We didnt evolve we were created.
:facepalm:
Evolution is scientifically proven. Creation is a crock of shit cooked up by the same people that gave you the bible...And so you believe the world is only 10000 years old as well, yes?
No i know how old the earth is. You assume our concept of years and time today is the same today as in the bibles. If its proven why is it THE THEORY of evolution sure it happens to an extent but we didnt come from apes. 10000 years could be a billion in god time we dont know.
What are you trying to say? You just said we were created, then admitted evolution happens to an extent. You creationists utterly fail at a logical argument.
Proof of evolution is all around you. Look at people even, we have become taller, smarter, more beautiful all within the last few hundred years. That alone is evidence we are evolving.
Here, I even did a search on the net for you...Albeit this is off Wikianswers.
I think the best proof (at least, the easiest to understand) is the developement of a new species of butterfly in Hawaii. When foreign settlers wanted to colonize Hawaii, they brought banana's to grow as a cash crop. Banana's are not native to Hawaii and yet today, there is a new species of butterfly that looks almost exactly like a native species, except it can only eat bananas. Upon further examination, this species of butterfly has a different shaped mouth and digestive system that literally only allows a banana diet. So it is only reasonable to conclude that it evolved because after all, bananas are not native to Hawaii. This example has taken place within human observation, and even though they are still both butterflies, they are a separate species (in that they cannot reproduce with each other). That is one of the best examples to prove evolution and I hope this was helpful.
Creationism is also a theory. So don't pull that crap on me. Evolution has a hell of a lot more science and evidence behind it than some ultimate being deciding to just spring us into life one day.
And while homo sapiens did not directly evolve from apes, the humanoid races (homo erectus etc) before that almost certainly did. Do you deny these earlier types of human existed? Because for that there is overwhelming amounts of evidence. Fossils anybody? Or did your prankster god put those here just to test your faith?
:facepalm: Just because it happens to an extent doesn't mean Im saying we came from country's. Providence created ape and man. I dont deny Neanderthals existed but they were a different species. There is a creater are you saying we all just got here by accident? To me that makes less sense than a creator.

Yes they were a different species, same way homo erectus etc were. Recent evidence suggest homo sapiens inter-bred with the other species such as neanderthals etc, this is what allowed the white skin mutation to develop...Go read the first page again.
Yes, I'm saying we arrived here out of pure circumstance within an infinite universe. When you think about it, its not surprising at all, considering how ridiculously huge, chaotic and unpredictable the universe is. Eventually the right circumstance for life would come into existence, it was inevitable.
And souls? Who is to say animals don't have souls? Who is to say souls even exist at all and we aren't just a bunch of chemical reactions firing off simultaneously? You can't prove any of these things, its just more metaphysical, religious crap. All we are is conscious of our surroundings and ourselves. We are more EVOLVED than those other creatures.
rofl!
Likewise, role reversal @ north or south pole.
Notice Eskimos are more Asian-looking.
Even this points directly toward natural selection.
:facepalm:
God didn't write the bible.
:thumbsup: if joking
if serious....
No but the men who wrote it, white men by the way were directly inspired by God. The lord spoke to them. he speaks to everyone maybey if youd open your heart he'd speak to you too.
Ouch, I just got trolled by a mod...Either that, or hes just incredibly stupid.
