@ozredneck22 No; human beings who inhabited particular latitudes that directed less sunlight at them developed lighter skin, while human beings that continued to inhabit areas of the world with a high concentration of direct sunlight retained darker skin.

@UppruniTegundanna says "Of course, only an idiot would attempt to draw a correlation between something as meaningless as skin colour and "evolvedness". Prof. James Watson co-discoverer of DNA writes: "There is no firm reason to anticipate that the intellectual capacities of peoples geographically separated in their EVOLUTION should prove to have EVOLVED identically. Our wanting to reserve equal powers of reason as some universal heritage of humanity will not be enough to make it so."

@ozredneck22 James Watson has been anathematized from all quarters for his statements on this matter, and rightly so.

He has also suggested a link between skin colour and sex drive, positing the theory that black people have higher libidos, and argued in favour of genetic screening and engineering on the basis that "stupidity" could one day be cured. He has claimed that beauty could be genetically manufactured, saying: "People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty. I think it would great."
