text: race,region,skin color,eye color tell me if this is true!!!? well my mom told me the other day is the reason why white people have white skin and light colored eyes is because they're ancestors are from colder regions like snowy and you know how you never go outside you never get darker and so like they're skin stayed pale until they wasn't and ice age and for black people the reason why they are brown is because the ancestors are from africa and they live in hot regions so theyre skin gets tanned browner and theyre eyes are darker and they're hair gets...well steamed and crinkles up while lighter people theyre hair was thin flat,straight...thats what she told me do you think its true? cause ya know it makes since not that black peoples eyes can't be colored cause mine are green but...just answer my question! lol yes, it's true.  developing dark skin was nature's way of providing more protection from the sun's rays. that's why people tan, it's to help protect the skin. light skin burns easily. light eyes are more sensitive to bright light. have you also noticed that  most black americans are not real dark like true africans? they aren't exposed to that harsh sun anymore and have lightened up. i'm not sure about the hair "curling up from steam" it sounds reasonable, but actually, straight hair when seen under a microscope is round like a pencil, and tight curly hair is flatter like a ruler. soft curly hair is oval shaped. it's the follicles that determine curly or straight. but hey, it might have originated that way from heat, i don't know. ps. i think brown skin and green eyes are gorgeous, and also shiny black hair with ice blue eyes too. it's different.
