Outside of Africa: albinism and the origins of skin color (a brief synopsis)

Posted by admin

Based on what we know from archaeological finds, genetic and fossil evidence, radiometric and carbon dating, you would have to conclude that the origins of human life began in Africa. However, I have to totally disagree with the conclusions of Dr. Frances Welsing (1969-1974 publications) on skin color and albinism. However, I understand how it was possible to reach the conclusions Dr. Welsing reached when considering the advances made in genetic and analytical testing over the past 40 to 50 years.

Today we know that albinism is inherited from the light and dark-skinned races of the planet and its incidence is approximately 1 in 20,000 people. We know from molecular genetic and biological research that people with albinism carry the melanocytes necessary to produce melanin. These investigations have also shown us that the enzyme tyrosinase is necessary to convert the bodies of melanocytes into melanin. However, people with albinism produce the inactive form of the enzyme tyrosinase. People with albinism also produce high concentrations of tyrosinase inhibitors that would prevent the conversion of melanocytes to melanin even if the enzyme were present. These biological findings explain why the skin of the white people of modern Europe and Asia is not as dark as that of the people of Africa and the equatorial regions of the earth. Targets produce a combination of the active and inactive form of tyrosinase and tyrosinase inhibitors whose molecular structures have not been fully identified are also present at low concentration levels. Therefore, white and lighter-skinned people have lower levels of melanin in their bodies, and particularly in the outer tissue of their skin, although the level of melanocytes in white people is not different from the levels found in darker skinned people.

Melanin has the chemical characteristic of absorbing ultraviolet radiation from sunlight and converting this wavelength of light into heat and energy. This absorption-conversion process of melanin acts as a type of innate protection from potential damage to skin tissue from sunlight due to prolonged exposure. From geological, paleontological, anthropological and climatic studies, we know that between 12,000 and 600,000 years ago the temperature of the planet was extremely cold with burial points of slightly warmer climate, and that all the continents of the world were connected. Therefore, when considering prehuman evolutionary adaptive traits, the challenges for prehuman species in managing exposure to UV radiation from sunlight for extended periods of time were almost non-existent. Therefore, the need for prehuman environmental adaptation to warm temperatures would be minimal for survival.

Prehuman environmental adaptations to warmer climates came later (roughly 12,000 to 40,000 years ago) when the earth’s temperature began to rise and stabilize at the types of temperatures that are present today. Regarding migrations from Africa to Europe, new research (2006) suggests that a first exodus of prehumans (hominids) began about 400,000 years ago, followed by a final wave of pre-modern humans (homo-sapiens) of about 120,000 years. A while ago, when the weather was still cold and thus the exodus out of Africa would be attributed more to easy passage through connected land masses than to “tribal” disregard for skin color. .

When it comes to race mixing, many ideas and concepts about the dominance of black and white genes abounded in black and white intellectual communities in the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s. Today, however, we see to blacks and whites who marry each other to produce offspring with mixtures and genetics from both parents. It is the racism of white America and European history that defines a man by skin color based on his parents. Thus, Eurocentric ideologies would conclude that when a black man and a white woman engender a child, the child will always be considered 99% black. These ideas and concepts were not derived from human genetic science, but simply reflected nationalistic racial attitudes. This black status was put on these mixed children even if they appeared more white than black. You don’t have to look too far to see clear evidence for these racial concepts in American history. Just look at all the black boys who came across the slave master raping black female slaves. Many of these black slaves were very dark skinned, but their babies were still light skinned. What a dominant gene! Why do you think we have so many light skinned blacks today? So even if whites believed in such a concept about preserving the race by not mixing with darker skinned people (although this seems more of a myth since whites easily raped their slaves), it was an idea or belief born of the ignorance. Similarly, if blacks think they could eradicate the white race by marrying each other because of some dominant black gene, they better think again. In the end you will produce pups whose skin color is neither too black nor too white! Also, even whites are people of color. They are darker than people who have albinism and they definitely don’t look white. Try this quick experiment. Have a white person stand up with their hands at their sides. Next, take a piece of computer paper and hold it next to the white person’s face. Examine the differences in tone and record your observations. Report your results truthfully and impartially.

Based on the scientific evidence that is clearly abundant today, I suggest that the original human species was neither black nor white, but albino. If albinism is a defect in the genetic coding of today’s humans, as many scientists and researchers have concluded, then this defect is nothing more than a recessive gene that the modern-day human species has been carrying around with them for the last 120,000 years. . Personally, I think this is a sign to humanity that we were all once a group of prehuman creatures and that our observed physical differences today are nothing more than the result of evolutionary geographic and environmental circumstances.
