Black People : Black family in Asia

[wetac0s]

Being Asian myself, here is my take:

Modern day east asians came from the native people of siberia - the Evenki and the native people of Southeast Asia - austronesians. The farther north you go, the more Evenki they are, the farther south you go, the more austronesian you are.

It doesn't matter if you go to Indonesia or Japan, there is obviously going to be overlap and Asian people everywhere will have certain defining features that are common amongst all asians. Due to many years of cohabitation and intermixing, Asian people today are all linked in some way. Many white people try to divide the Asian race and create conflict and hatred, but in reality, Asians are have much more in common than the Westerners want us to think.

China is probably the best example because it straddles east, west, north, and south. Many different "tribes" have conquered and settled in China, that is why most Chinese people are mixed with many different asian ethnicities. Unlike Korea, China is the most diverse nation in Asia. There are Chinese people who look kind of white, black, native, etc....The farther south you go, the darker the complexion. If you want to see every different type of Asian, go to China.

It has been proven that all Asian people (whether siberian or austronesian) came from a tribe in Africa - it could have been the Khoisans. I believe that White people probably came from a different species than Blacks, Natives, and Asians - probably neanderthals. It makes sense since Caucasians are the only race with predominantly light features, protruding noses, browbones, and lots of body hair. No other race has those features. White people also seem to have no conscience and the need to conquer different races. Blacks, Asians, and Natives have minded their own business and stuck within their tribes for a long time before Whites came and plundered their lands. They seem to have this notion that they have the right to stick their noses in other people's business. I don't think other races have that sense of entitlement and arrogance - it must be genetic.

Having lived and traveled in Asia and having many Asians friends, I agree wiith about everything said.

I especially agree with the take on Neandertahls. One need not be an anthropologist to see the realtion between Neandertahls, their slow to no wit, and most, if not all, Europeans: http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&...esult_group&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CCcQsAQwAA.

A fish of a different color
February 2006


The zebrafish, a small but flashy aquarium pet, may seem like an unlikely informant on questions of human genetics — yet its genome could hold the keys to understanding many diseases and, surprisingly, the genes underlying human skin color. In December 2005, a cancer research team headed by Keith Cheng at Penn State University announced that their studies of the mutant "golden" zebrafish had taken an unexpected turn: they had discovered a single human gene that accounts for about 30% of the difference in skin color between African and European descendents. This color difference can be traced back to a tiny difference in two versions (or alleles) of the gene.

The "G" allele is common among African descendents and causes more of the dark pigment melanin to be present in skin cells,

while the "A" allele is common among European descendents and causes less melanin in skin cells.

But how did different ethnic groups wind up with these different versions of the pigmentation gene?

Research suggests that more than 100,000 years ago, the earliest humans lived in Africa and carried the "G" allele, which causes lots of melanin to be present in skin cells and hence, dark skin. Melanin absorbs UV rays from the sun and controls the amount of UV radiation that penetrates our skin. Our bodies need some UV radiation (to build the essential vitamin, vitamin D) but not too much (because UV radiation can damage the skin and destroy another essential vitamin, folate). In the sun-drenched environs of Africa, dark skin was advantageous, preventing UV rays from doing too much damage, while allowing in enough UV to synthesize vitamin D. In that environment, individuals born with a mutant version of the gene associated with less melanin and lighter skin would probably have had poor health and low reproductive success.

Many biologists hypothesize that between 55,000 and 85,000 years ago, humans began to migrate out of Africa. Some of them wound up living in the colder, darker climes of Europe. There, too much UV radiation was not a problem, but too little UV to synthesize vitamin D probably was. At some point either before or after the migration out of Africa, a mutation occurred in one of the ancestors of modern Europeans. This mutation was tiny, changing just a single base, but it caused much less melanin to be present in the skin of those who carried the mutation. This was the "A" allele. Among the new Europeans, this allele likely had an advantage over the "G" allele. Individuals carrying the "A" allele had less melanin, which allowed more UV light to penetrate their skin, which could have allowed them to synthesize vitamin D better than those carrying only the "G" allele. These "A"-carrying individuals had increased reproductive success in their sun-poor environment, and via natural selection, the "A" allele spread throughout the European population. Meanwhile, among Africans, the "G" allele continued to be advantageous and to maintain its majority there.

The discovery of this pigmentation gene has helped us piece together a more complete picture of the evolutionary changes that underlie skin color differences between human ethnic groups. It suggests that a great deal of the skin color difference that has delineated the boundaries of social tensions for much of recorded history can be traced back to a tiny genetic change that allowed humans to better survive and reproduce in particular environments.

This discovery also highlights the fundamental similarity of all humans. Skin color, it turns out, really is skin deep; at a genetic level, the skin color difference between a European descendent and an African descendent might be largely influenced by a single base pair difference in a genome composed of three billion base pairs. However, neither does this single gene tell the whole story.

For example, many East Asians carry the "G" allele and yet have light-colored skin. Why? We don’t know, but it is probably due to many other undiscovered genes. And though, on average, people who carry only the "A" allele have lighter skin than those who carry only the "G" allele, there is a huge overlap in skin color between the groups — so knowing which alleles an individual carries will not let you predict with much certainty the shade of his or her skin. It is clear that the concept of "race" is more a sociological construct than a biological one, and that many genes and environmental factors influence skin color. As we learn more about these genes, we will learn more about our own evolutionary history as a species.

"The color difference can be traced back to a tiny difference in two alleles of the gene. The "G" allele is common among African descendents and causes more of the dark pigment melanin to be present in skin cells, while the "A" allele is common among European descendents and causes less melanin in skin cells. However, East Asians carry the "G" allele and yet have light-colored skin.

African and Asians - Same skin type, different color
Whites - Different skin type, different color

No wonder White people age so fast.

Those pictures I found on the web are interesting,i use them with the spirit of this thread,which is to show trough pictures the faces of the aboriginal asians.However be conscious that the person who made these pictures is a piece of ish who got an incredible hatred toward black people and melanited people in general lmao.Check his sorry ***** in flick.com:
