Of course they are going to find a genetic difference in dark skinned people and light skinned people. Dark skinned people don't have make me pale gene.

@ravagetime you miss the point - see part 4, "Albinism is caused by a major DNA mutation". See also Bronowski's 'Ascent of Man', and Wells's 'Journey of Man:

A Genetic Odyssey', inspired by Luca Cavalli-Sforza
