Bible Question: where do blacks come from? |
Bible Answer: Melanin - the amount of this substance that determines skin pigmentation is one of the true differences between caucasians and negros. Some have more so they have dark skin, some have less - hence, pale faces like me! Thats it, and a couple of proteins. Genetic discoveries are fun to watch. It is wonderful that the world is learning what we already know to be true. That all the peoples on the earth descended from about 6 to 10 gene "parents." Hmmm. I choose eight! If I remember correctly, I believe that Ham was the parent of the black folk. (Gen ch. 10) |
