[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gor: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Truthcentric: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Gor: [qb]My claim is supported by the latitude (luscan-scale distribution) and ancient artwork.[/qb][/QUOTE]I don't think that Luschan-scale map necessarily shows what the optimal skin color for each latitude would be. It merely shows what the modal skin colors of people [i]currently[/i] inhabiting a region are. Notice that the tropical Americas on your map don't have the same skin tone range as Africa, which reflects the Native American inhabitants' ultimate origin in northeastern Asia. Ergo, your map is not taking recent migrations and admixture into account. This map on the other hand was devised by Nina Jablonksi as a prediction of what the [b]optimal[/b] skin color for each latitude would be, absent all those migrations. The map does predict that indigenous Eastern Saharans might not be as dark as Sudanics living just north of the the Equator, but on the other hand the values for most of Egypt don't seem to be much lighter than those of the Congo Basin (where Pygmy people live) or southernmost Africa (home to Khoisan).

He has a pre-1492 map. [URL=http://pages.globetrotter.net/peter_frost61z/Old-World1.jpg]Click[/URL] Old World distribution of human skin colour, c. 1492 AD. From Brace (1973). Egypt is medium brown with light brown at the northern coast. [/QB][/QUOTE]
