@forthy42@mastodon.net2o.de @StillIRise1963@mastodon.world precisely. And this is just one reason why white supremacy and racism makes absolutely no sense and has to be pushed back against.
Racist white supremacist bigots have to be challenged as their behaviour simply does not belong in a civilised society.
And of course we can prove that the first Europeans were actually black or brown, had dark eyes and black hair, and that the development of light hair, blue eyes and white skin is quite recent and due to the development of agriculture in Europe, which resulted of foods deficient in vitamin D.
So, white people are actually the ones with recessive genes which arose as a result of genetic mutations to account for deficient early European agriculture! Although that is a VERY simplistic way of looking at something that is far far more complex.

@alexadeswift@lgbtqia.space @StillIRise1963@mastodon.world Interestingly, Neanderthals had their own MC1R gene variants, which means there where fair skinned and red haired Neanderthals, but modern humans, despite inheriting something from them have their own MC1R gene variants.
So it didn't provide enough advantage early on. Modern humans were still black when the Neanderthals vanished.
