I've been quite conservative on most issues for a long time, but I've
had to change my views on some things after giving them a lot of
thought. Evolve or die seems to be one way to look at it. Of course some
people don't believe in evolution.

You mean to tell me that y'alls ancestors was them dang monkeys?

That dingbat Tea Potter Christine O'Donnell says she knows evolution
isn't real because if it was real then monkeys would still be evolving
into humans and that isn't happening. So it would appear some of us
evolved, and others got in the wrong line.

I do believe genetic researchers have determined that we Homo sapiens
are the descendants of 10,000 or fewer mating pairs from Central Africa
something like 70,000 years ago. We're all from Africa and us White
folks are the mutants. ^_^

I never understood why white people live in Scandinavia, for example.
Wouldn't they be warmer if they were dark and absorbed more heat from
the sun?

And why do dark people live near the equator, where it's hot?
Wouldn't they be cooler if they were light and reflected more heat.

It's this little thing known as melanin which gives skin its dark color
which protects the skin from the Sun's harmful UV rays. The darker the
skin, the better protected you are from UV radiation. Pale skinned
humans get all the vitamin D they need by exposing their face and hands
to the Sun but our very dark skinned cousins have to take vitamin D
supplements to stay healthy if they move to a part of the world where
it's not a good idea to expose your skin to sub-freezing temperatures.
Besides, dark objects cool off quicker than light objects when the
source of radiant heat is removed. ^_^

Heh Heh. If you go to certain countries in the ME, the local women
walk round on the shady side of the street and carry a magazine to
hold up to shade them selves from the sun when they walk in the sun,
ie, trying to get white. *(This is the reason for burkhas BTW.)
In the same place you see white women tourists lying on the beach
trying to get brown.
Which all goes to show that there's no pleasing women.

Sun exposure causes wrinkled skin too. When I worked out in The Pacific
at a missile test range, there was a young woman working there who lived
in the sun and a bikini. Her skin looked like leather and even
though she was in her late 20's or early 30's, she had the skin of a
70 year old farmer. :-(

Ah. Seen similar on theTV. The women from California.
This is why English women have the peaches and cream look. (Don't see
as much sun. here)
When I was in Iraq,the trendy women ther used to apply makeup to try
and get the same look. There were several woman in our group, they
used to get evily jealous looks from the local women apparently. I
never noticed until my wife remarked.
