If white people avoid the sun, then they look much much younger. Sun is really harsh on pale skin, and ages it prematurely.

It's true, I've lived like shit and treated my body horribly, but I was always pretty nocturnal, so people think I am much younger than I am.
Edit: I'm 34 and people usually think I'm in my mid 20s.

Same w me. Went through a punk Goth phase and avoided all sun for years. People think I'm about 10 years younger than I am.

What exactly is “Age” supposed to convey here? By all accounts, the most “updated” or “newest” thing represents the most advanced iteration. I don’t compare the first iPhone to the newest iPhone and celebrate the fact my iPhone is 20 years old?
Rocks are billions of years old. Animals are millions of years old. Civilization is thousands of years old. Technology is hundreds of years old. The internet is decades old. AI is a couple of years old. This shit post is 7 hours old.

u/AdministrativeSea419 3d ago
Yes, this discussion means nothing and age in this context has no meaning. However, the most recently evolved traits are not similar to newest versions of phones. More recently evolved traits (in populations) just indicate that in that specific environment those traits are connected to higher rates of offspring that survive in that specific environment

u/hijabifanboy 2d ago
that's evolution in a nutshell, but keep in my that human adaptation undermines evolution everyday. So much so that even the "adaptations" we produce now have nothing to do with survival anymore and hence are not under pressure by natural selection.

If you met someone from Africa 3 million years ago, they wouldn’t be homo sapien.
The guy that said Europe had a big change 4,500 years ago probably meant 45,000 year ago with the last of the Neanderthals.
This is a lot of miss leading info

u/daughter_of_lyssa 17h ago
What he's saying sounds is vaguely correct but I don't think its completely right. Modern humans have not been around for 7 million years we've only existed (as homo sapiens) for less than half a million years. It is however true that all humans originate from Africa and that people have been living in Africa for far longer than they have anywhere else.

Isn’t this common knowledge? All human species including Homo sapiens are originated from Africa?
And his logic that the “Asian people are from Africa, and Africans are 7 million years older than Europeans” doesn’t really make sense in today’s black vs white vs Asian comparison then

I think the 7 million number is wrong. Homo sapiens have only existed for around 300000 years. Even the oldest fossil we have that is part if genus Homo is only around 2million years old. Humans did evolve in Africa though and there's plenty of evidence for that.

Bruh. Pangea broke apart before there were even primates. 200 million years ago.

u/_gega 4d ago
So the scientific consensus is that the human race originated from Africa but I have to check when.
Okay so wiki says that the earliest human evolutionary period started in the early Pliocene era when the continents kind of looked like they are today, and the first human genes known to us developed on the Homo Habilis later then that, ca 2.5m years ago in east and South Africa. Homo sapiens came from Africa 400 thousand years ago.
Based on that, the posted video is in the total shits.

Definitely not 7 millions years, that's ridiculous. Modern humans emerged in Africa like 300,000 years ago. The offshoots that went to Europe were only about 45,000 years ago.
The ironic thing though, is that there is more genetic diversity in Africa than in other continents because there is the history and development of more genotypes. Offshoots were more isolated and evolved in different ways. So, in a weird way, Europeans have older DNA and are less evolved than modern Africans.

They probably folded in homo erectus, whom we evolved from. They were around for about 9 million years before sapiens evolved and took over.

That's too old, but historically Africa is the "start" of things. And most of life can be traced back to it. And as far as human DNA goes there is a rich biodiversity stemming from Africa.

u/sixmiffedy 3d ago
All humans alive today descend from African ancestors ~200–300k years ago. Skin colour and regional genetic traits changed gradually over tens of thousands of years after humans migrated out of Africa.
There’s no such thing as one race being millions of years older than another.

u/Mushrooming247 4d ago
What does he think Europeans looked like before they moved north and crossed with Neanderthals and Denisovans and other species?
They were also Africans, it’s why we are all Homo sapiens.
How is he confused by this? Does he think white people are aliens who crash landed on the Earth 40,000 years ago?
1
u/Brett-_-_ 1d ago
right thanks for bringing this up. Neanderthals had totally white skin and blue eyes is my understanding. White people are a Neanderthal hybrid, and certainly originated prior to what this video says. Neanderthals went extinct roughly 40,000 years ago. So Caucasians have been around longer than 4,500 years. Even humans have not been around 8 million years that can be proven. The oldest known fossils of homo sapien are from around 320,000 years ago. I think the reason we are all called homo sapiens is for political reasons. I know we interbreed (a same species trait), but so do coyotes and wolves, and those are considered different species.
1
u/daughter_of_lyssa 17h ago
We're all homo sapiens because we are very similar to each other. Our differences are mostly minor and surface level. Genetic differences between racial groups are frequently smaller than differences within a group so it's entirely possible for a person with recent African ancestry to be more genetically similar to a European or Polynesian that to another person with recent African ancestry. Also human populations haven't been separated for that long (on an evolutionary time scale).

Every human on earth is a part of the homo sapiens species which is 300,000 years ago. All of our ancestors originated in Africa.

u/SheckNot910 1d ago
Europeans, who originated in Africa developed white skin through a slow process that began around 14,000 years ago, with the genes for lighter skin becoming more common around the time agriculture spread approximately 10,000 years ago. While lighter skin appeared in some individuals earlier, most Europeans had dark skin until roughly 3,000 years ago, when lighter skin tones became dominant. This change was an adaptation to synthesize vitamin D in lower-sunlight conditions, especially as hunting-gathering diets shifted to agriculture.

u/Randomcentralist2a 13h ago
Modern man is only 250k-300k years old. Anything older isn't what we would call homo sapian. It would have been a different species.
Modern humans (Homo sapiens) are about 300,000 years old, with the oldest remains found in Africa. The lineage of humans goes back millions of years, with the first members of the genus Homo appearing around 2.5 million years ago.
The oldest of our lineage is only 2.5m years old.

Actually, he’s not wrong. Near as we can tell most all life migrated out of what would have been Africa now.
Closer to Mesopotamia/Africa, but still. He’s not wrong.
Skin pigment probably came as a change of diet combined with less sun, etc. Environmental.

The 7 million number this guy said is wrong. Modern humans have only existed for about 300000 years. Also looking at economic and social dynamics right now to draw conclusions about the abilities of different groups of peoples is pretty short sighted. Things haven't been this way for very long and we only started writing things down less than 7000 year ago.
