[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [qb] [i]Men and women differ in complexion because of differing amounts of melanin and cutaneous blood flow; in short, women are fairer, men browner and ruddier (Edwards & Duntley, 1939; Frost, 1988; Frost, 2005; Hulse, 1967; Jablonski & Chaplin, 2000). The size of this sex difference is still debated, largely because most studies are poorly controlled for age (girls lighten only after puberty and immediately before are actually darker than boys).."[/i] FROM: Frost Peter, 2006. European hair and eye color, evidence of sexual selection? Evolution and Human Behavior 27 (2006) 85–103u Can't you read imbecile? ALL females differ from males and are lighter. ALL human humans have sexual dimorphism to one degree or another. SO how can blacks "completely lack" said dimorphism according to you, when your own boy Peter Frost says all human have it? [/qb][/QUOTE]It's true that women tend to have lighter complexions than males due to the biological reasons expressed; however such a difference is only very slight and can be exaggerated if the female doesn't get enough sunlight but her male counterparts do-- as was the case in Greece and Rome where women were being sequestered indoors-- or made non apparent if the women stayed outdoors as much or longer as the men. This however I don't think has anything to do with the ancient art convention, at least in the part of the Egyptians. [/QB][/QUOTE]
