Topic: Europeans when Africans first arrived

Well, since this place is empty, I guess we’re going to inbreed until our skin turns white and we forget we came from Africa.

Evolutionary pressures developed white skin. Blackies struggle in low-UV areas because they can't produce enough vitamin D.

Correct. Europeans also have less genetic diversity than Africans because when Africans crossed over from Africa into Eurasia through the land bridge (used to be a land bridge before they built the Suez Canal) in Egypt, a relatively small number of individual’s descendants ended up populating the largest continent (I’m considering Eurasia as a whole a continent in this context). Generally, the further native human populations are from Africa, the less genetically diverse they are. Sub Saharan Africans have the most genetic diversity, Europeans have less than Africans, Asians have less than Europeans, and Indigenous American populations have the least genetic diversity. Genetic diversity is actually good for things like disease-resistance. Lifestyle also had an impact, but having less genetic diversity didn’t help when Europeans arrived in the Americas.

Which is also why calling Africans a race is stupid. Two "black" people from Sub Saharan Africa can be more genetically distinct than a British person and a Japanese person.

Also there was that disaster where there were about 500 people left in the world.

Europeans also bred with Neanderthals.

Who wouldn't, to be fair?
