>>13998323I think that image is not correct that there is one single gene for black skin. I think traits like skin color come down to a handful of genes, but not one singular gene.
That said I do know that european white skin and asian white skin both evolved from a pigmentation gene "breaking". So there are two different mutations leading to light skin, both mutations of the same gene.
So, anyway, the genes for light skin are new. So it is implausible that an ancient human who was alive before the prominent light skin genes was light skinned.
>I minored in Anthropology. How come I never heard of MSFD12?Sorry my man, but, given that you minored in Anthropology I would infer that you havent heard about much.
