what i'm saying is the white race is the only one that has a verity of eye and hair colors , so what gives?
is it that this race was influenced genetically by a group of pre humans that didn't mix with other races?

I've come to believe that there were exactly 3,760 years between each creative period. Who knows what changes could have taken place during those times? - Snowbird.
That's like trying to measure how far a glacier has moved in 5 minutes. But if you want to discuss evolution perhaps this is not the correct thread.

I am a Black person. - Snowbird
So?
I am not ignorant - or racist.
Everything that follows in your post is based on ignorance of history and anthropology and is profoundly racist. I didn't say you were a racist. I said your beliefs regarding race are.
In particular Muslims use this ridiculous belief in the curse of Ham to justify racism. It is bizarre to see it perpetuated by a black person.

there were plenty of people around who fought against these ideas - Ruby
So what? I'm addressing Snowbird who is perpetuating this bullshit under the guise of faith.
If I said that black people were under a curse you would rightly condemn my words as prejudicial. If somebody says that this is their religious belief you make excuses for it. This is hypocritical.

Snowbird has stated in this thread twice that she believes black people descend from Ham son of Noah and have suffered accordingly for his curse.
It's religious bullshit that has been used to justify systemic racism for centuries.

no they do not how can u say that cofty - Ruby
The dogma that black people descend from one of Noah's sons and that they are under the divine curse of Ham is ignorant and racist.
you were inspired by the bible for most of your life - Ruby
Yes I was brainwashed from infancy. What's your point?

Your beliefs belong to a previous age of ignorance and racism.

Snowbird - How can anybody still believe Iron Age myths about the origin of race?
Nobody is afflicted by ancient curses. Please feel free to join the rest of us in the 21st century.
every living thing descended from a common ancestor over millions of years.
this is the central fact that the theory of evolution explains.
house sparrows and tree sparrows only need to go back relatively few generations to find their common ancestor, while trout and tigers must search much closer to the roots of the tree for theirs.. darwin sketched this idea of common ancestry along with the words "i think" in one of his notebooks.
I agree Shepherdless.
Creationists can try to explain away homology as an example of common design but that results in some very bizarre design. It portrays god more like an old guy in his shed making stuff out of whatever bits and pieces he has lying around.

I find it fascinating to see the same bone structure in the fins of 370 million year old fish and in an x-ray of my own arm!
Imagine three chefs each being given the same basket of ingredients. They would likely come up with very different dishes. Natural selection uses genes in a similar way. By adjusting the timing and duration of protein production the same genes can be used to make bat wings and dolphin flippers.
in the 18th century the calculations of archbishop james ussher regarding the age of the earth were still accepted without question.
according to ussher god made the earth at 6pm on the evening of saturday 22nd october 4004 b.c.. this naive certainty was to become a victim of the scottish enlightenment and the brilliant mind of james hutton.
having qualified as a medical doctor in 1749 hutton returned to the family farm in berwickshire not far from where i am typing this now.
Thank you for that Smiddy.
I have added number 39 here...
