Please tell me why the complexion of hominids leaving Africa are always depicted as having fairly fair skin? The picture above has an even fairer skin, which I can understand somewhat. Granted, I have seen the complexion of the bush people of Namibia, but I think that the entire story isn’t being told.
Why is it that I never see western African in the development of modern man? I sense some bias. Is the artist ashamed of Great Great Great Great………Grand Mama and Papa? Shame on everyone involved!!!!
Response to James… that is a picture of a Neanderthal, not a Cro-Magnon. It makes sense that it’s portrayed as white.
The picture shown above is of a Neanderthal child. And yes, Neanderthals are known to have been fair skinned. Enough of their genome is mapped that we now know that pigmentation defects in Neanderthals (similar to but distinct from those in modern people of northern Europe) gave them fair skin and red hair.
