Time to step in...

The older the human population is on the planet, the more diverse their genetic code based on population genetics.

Right now, it various "groups" in sub-Saharan Africa in specific locations, such as Mali, Twe, !Kung and one other group, I forget.

And if anyone wants to explain to me the genetic mutations and SNPs in tyrosinase gene family, I would really like to know. It is still a mutation process that actively occurs in some parts of The Congo and elsewhere.

Ethiopia? According to this article, "no region in the world has a larger genetic diversity than East Africa and Ethiopia." http://www.afrol.com/articles/15984

Just a matter of preference

I read a couple of pages of this and forgive me in advance if I should not be posting here, but I believe that it is just a matter of preference for a majority of people. I have a friend who only dates light skinned women. He just isnt attracted to dark skinned ones and is dark skinned himself. Another friend only dates dark skinned women because he does not like the way that light skinned women look. I personally prefer brown skinned women, but I have dated those darker and lighter.

I think another thing aside from just color are the features of the people involved. Afrocentricity and all. We do tend to focus heavily on European looks.

Just my two cents. . .

I agree. Whether someone has something such as "good" hair is often a bigger issue, at least that has been my experience.

Good point. I know some people that see having "good hair" as a "plus" if you are dark-skinned. As if it made up not being lighter.

Yes, and then there are those who feel bad for lightskinned people who do not having the "matching" hair.

HAIR

I agree with Southernelle. I've never thought too much about skin color (there was no dark/light preference in my family), but HAIR is an issue.
