also if you want example #102971586273562387103897802917065012734982372903856 of mayos not knowing anything outside of the white bubble:
plenty of places in Africa have a monsoonal climate, meaning they get 3-5 months without rain. Basically like a winter but lack of water instead of sun
are you talking about Yakub or something in mainstream anthropology
bc the verdict rn is that the first light skin mutations came from the Middle East and East Asia. Probably also North India and the Americas but that's less well known
there's a difference between light and white skin btw. The latter only started existing 3500 years ago in northern europe
This might be technically true but there's no reason to think it was East Africa. It could have just as easily been South Africa or Central
Going by archaeological samples though, these mutations first became widespread in the Middle East. It's also possible they may have even originated outside of Africa.
Also I'm talking about a select few light skin mutations that lighten the skin tone by large margins and became widespread in the neolithic, when people got less vitamin D from their diets,
There were other ones which were more minor and present in the paleolithic which probably came from Africa, and were held by European hunter gatherers who were pretty dark skinned (but still almost definitely lighter than Africans)
