I have read that scientists studying the DNA of people have concluded that there is no difference in the genetics of race but that skin differences are brough about by environment. Like where we live on earth, sun exposure, maybe minerals in the earth, etc. Wish I had that link to share, but I do not.

If a Japanese settles down in another country for years his descedants will still have that yellow colour.

There is a slight difference in the DNA, but we are all issued of the same "sapiens" (the filter at myLot refuses to let me type the word before
) living in Africa 200000 years ago. In fact @allknowing our DNA evolves generation after after generation, and we have a few genes different than our parents. We are all mutants.

Then how is it those who came from distant lands and settled down still have the same racial colour?

@mythociate I have given the example of the Japanese race. Their progeny will be the same no matter where they live even in the next thousand years. Their colour will remain the same. How did they get that colour in the first place. Could the theory of Adam and Eve be looked at again?

@allknowing Because their differences were the mutations that allowed their bloodline to survive in their former homes. Over a few (hundred-or-so) generations, the genes of "those who came from distant lands" will be modified, made more like the native-genes & less like the ones the foreigners brought.

It's the separation of genetic traits.. At the confusing of the languages at Babel tower.. clans separated and traveled away from each other. Kind of like if red heads only married redheads for a few generations soon all would be redheads.. (Not sure if this is true, but for simplicity's sake.) This is natural selection which some get confused with the theory of origins but not the same.. As Natural sel-ec-tion is separation of traits present, not the evolving of new traits, which doesn't happen. Where are the gazillion missing links if all evolved from one life form? Am I ranting?
In the beginning Adam and Eve's offspring could safely marry as the genetic code was still all the way wide/full.. not yet divided and separate, until later when the genetic lines got dangerously narrowed. Kings used to marry their sisters, to keep the noble blood.. and some have said a lot of that is one reason why many rulers were madmen..
We are all 99.9% the same!

You have still not answered my question
although what you posted did make for interesting reading in that traits created those colours. Is that what I have understood from this?

Gypsies have a legend about this. They are supposed to have Indian origins, so it may interest you. Their god (I do not remember the name, sorry) was bored one day and decided to give a color to humans. The first day, he made a dough with some flour, and put it in the oven, but it was not cooked enough, and he decided that it would be the white. The second day the dough was too much cooked, and he decided that it would be the black. The third day he managed to cook perfectly his dough, and he decided that it would be the gypsies.

@allknowing Seriously I have never tried to know why. All I know is that the oldest hominid were found in Eastern Africa and that they have more than 3 million years. The oldest human was also in Africa about 200000 years ago, and we are all issued from these human "sapiens", but they conquered very slowly the Earth : they needed 50000 years to be in Palestine, 50000 more to be in western Europe, 80000 more to cross Asia and enter in North America, and 10000 more to be in South America : it was 10000 BC, not far from us, if you think about it.

It is because of the area that we live in. We are all the same inside.
