You ignorant cunt.

Everything that allegedly distinguishes one "race" from another, physically, are all entirely resulting from climatic adaptions.

Everything from the pigmentation of your skin, to the shape of your nose, your dentition, hair type, body type, are all a result of adaptions to climate.

Have you ever taken Intro to Anthro?

Although your point about dark skin being better adapted to cold is somewhat true (look at the Inuit), the reason in which you state it is completely wrong. Saying that one physical adaption to the environment is superior to another is horse shit.

Wait, I will quote someone else on this.

Quote:


The chief hypothesis is that fairer skin is a response to the unique environment of Europe. Asians tend to live at higher altitudes than Caucasians and are thus exposed to more UV; their skin coloration is likely produced by a tradeoff between rival needs for UV protection and Vitamin D production. American Indians are recent descendants of Asians and thus have similar coloration. Aleuts and Inuit are (a) even more recent arrivals from Asia and (b) have a diet high in seafood, which eliminates worries about Vitamin D production.



Make sense?


I am not suprised. Howard provides a shitty education. If you really ever made it past highschool. So far everythign out of your mouth is half assed attempts at quoting NOI.
