hopefully we all know we have genes right.... what evolution is basically the replacement of shitty genes with better ones, overtime shitty genes get filtered out and another special gene replaced it making us more efficient creatures evolution is simple and does exist

[zildjian133]

everything that guy said about the wolf turning into a whale is true and everything else he said

[Jam930]

why are asian genes dominant over western?

dark hair, brown eyes, almost everything.

[SpookG]

Because more of the world is simply of asian descent?

Or better yet, if yo ureally want it, here is a better answer..

So say in the beginning, when hair color really mattered.. We have red, purple, bright blue, white, brown, black..

Predators could see us, so those who, at just a glance, didn't stand out, had the higher chance to survive...

Over time, it became more dominant to have darker colored fur, which is what our body hair really is.

Humans roll around, taking with them the same traits inherited from their ancestors before that, and before them, so on and so forth, meaning that soil-based hair color is more dominant than anything else.


If you don't want to believe that there is a good "lab" you can try, Jam, and all you need is a piece of cloth and some different colored beads.

let's make the cloth red, and say there is a red colored bead in there. Brown, yellow, white, whatever.. Equal amounts.. Dump them onto the cloth and without thinking, pick up the first ten you see..

PIck them all up..do it again..you will begin to notice the ones that stand out more are no longer there..

Now our hair color doesn't really matter anymore, so it is more diverse.. But since our ancestors, for millions of years, had darker colored hair, that is what you get stuck with, and say you being blonde is a minority.. Just keep in mind, at some point, you had an equal chance of being blonde, purple, brown.

Nice explaination on the hair.

Eyes?

Do asians generally have better eyesight?

[alvask8er]

What about the crocs? THey basiclly havent changed at all since the dino age, only shrinking by 30 feet. As for groups of people having better eyesight than others...its entirely possible. Diet plays a huge roll in how humans are. Thats why most salt is iodized. People living far from the coast are going to generlly eat less seafood than a person by the coast, and the necessary iodine from the seafood, they wont have. I know that carrots and eyesight are related, not sure if its by caritine or not...

[Jam930]

ok, but food doesn't relate to genetics...

[zildjian133]

I have a genetic mutation i have an extra material in my first chromosome. Since it was like 15 years ago they didnt know what it meant, but they said it could be extra mental/intellictual abilities, hopefully....

The color of your eyes have nothing to do with eyesight...

I'm sure it is similar to what spook said about hair. Black eyes are less noticable than bright blue eyes.

[zildjian133]

I heard once that a person with blue eyes is more likely to have red/green color blindness, who knows if its true

[fusi0n]

I bet Google has a good idea.

[IronMonk]

eye color just has to do with the amount of pigment in a persons body, blue having the least and brown having the most. ones eye color can change, [im not sure how much though] but it is possible.

my own eyes are a product of a broad lineage, my eyes are brown closest to the center, but shift to green except in my left eye wich is blue instead of green.

evelotionary speaking, we have only been around for a blink of an eye. it is unlikely that we would even knowtice if something had evolved, naturally given that we as a species last long enough for something to change.

[Jam930]

knowtice.

funny.

Eye color can change quite a bit. I was born with blue eyes, and over a period of 15 years they shifted to light brown, then dark brown, then near-black. Eye color doesn't actually mean anything, it's all about diet and chance. Eye color didn't "evolve," it's usually an ancestral group oddity (like Asians having black hair) that has no real effect.

Also, some pigment colors just aren't possible in nature. For example, green is the only color that most plants can't make or absorb. So having purple hair or green hair wasn't an option, ever, and there was no overall evolutionary effect on hair or eye color. Variable traits like hair and eyes spread out among an isolated group of humans over the years and the group becomes "unified" in a sense. After thousands of years you get Asians who almost all have black, straight hair. After 60,000 years of mixing and remixing minor traits like these, it's pretty obvious that superficial traits like hair and eye color don't matter.
