When these ice dams broke, it released more water than all the rivers combined in the world. This flooding took place over a period of 2,000 years, roughly from 15,000 - 13,000 years ago. There are massive boulders in the middle of fields that could have only have been transported by a flood of biblical proportions. The Channeled Scabland has incredible in your face evidence of a flood that is difficult to comprehend. https://site.extension.uga.edu/clima...apt_.590.1.jpg https://site.extension.uga.edu/clima...es-in-climate/ Quote:

Cheddar Man was originally thought to be fair skinned but recent DNA finds have shown he had very dark skin (and very blue eyes). A new model of his head is now coming to the museum I work at in London, where his bones are on display:
https://i2-prod.devonlive.com/incomi...heddar-Man.png Back in the day prehistoric man looked like a mix of all races. Only after we started farming (and restricting our diet a bit more) did we start to diverge in skin colour, a mix of our limited access to vitamins, which we instead started getting from the sun. Thus in some areas skin lightened to make more use of the sun sensitivity, when their grains were lacking. In places where the sun doesn't tan so much their skin stays pale. For example many Middle Easterners, although living in some of the worlds hottest and sunniest places will go very pale if transplanted to be born in northern climes. Ergo many are 'naturally' pale skinned: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ssbvWv8ST1...hra%2BArab.jpg http://66.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6...1ps5o1_250.jpg https://shalom.kiwi Likewise vice versa for East Asians moving south, they can occupy both ends of the spectrum https://i.postimg.cc/xjvMhVB1/ss.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/474x/ba/2c/ac/b...-kim-kibum.jpg www.aljazeera.com More here: Surprise! Ancient European had dark skin and blue eyes, DNA reveals An ancient Romanian - reconstruction of features from a 37,000 year old skeleton. Basically homo sapiens was for most of our history just a mix of what we call disparate 'races' today: https://i.postimg.cc/4d8w9kZG/ss.jpg Another ancient Briton, the Whitehawk Woman https://brightonmuseums.org.uk/disco...-neolithic.jpg and an ancient African: https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017...6674089505.jpg |

So, the Yemeni you posted has black skin because he has different genes for pigmentation than most Middle Easterners. Similarly, really dark skinned Southeast Asians exist because before the expansion of agriculture from southern China, everyone in Southeast Asia pretty much looked "black." |
sexual selection could also be at play in whitening certain races.

ive heard someone say a year ago that most likely atlantis will be coming back soon. i just came across the video and thought maybe im wrong that we will just be building smart cities.

this my 'normal' summer tan, which usually comes on very fast after a few days and is what I reckon is my natural skin tone: khaki. In the past it could get waaay darker. https://i.postimg.cc/q7209QSS/ss.jpg But now I have increasingly pale skin, not far off my Polish friend, and have started to get sun sensitivity and damage to boot (freckles and moles on the side of my face), As of 2011 I started to get bright pink sunburn and peeling skin if straying in the sun too long, had no idea it could be so painful and itchy. https://i.postimg.cc/kGz3DhHn/ss.jpg The native Americans are different in skin tone, from the white of the Inuit (although they tan from the ice glare) to the red/ auburn tones further south. Even on the same latitude - cross from say Yakutia in northern Siberia/ Inuits in the Arctic to Chukotka or the Athapascans next door, and skin tone can be just as varied. traditionaly pale Inuits and dark skinned Athapaskan https://i.postimg.cc/zGgFYRj4/ss.png https://i.postimg.cc/4yk0SJPV/ss.gif pale Yakuts and darker Chukots https://i.postimg.cc/GpvGjd4Z/ya.jpg http://siberiantimes.com/upload/info...items_1024.jpg https://www.quora.com/Who-are-Yakuts, http://siberiantimes.com Basically some people are genetically darker as you mention, and some people who live in sunny places and are thought of as naturally dark can be just a 'tan' - though one can argue vice versa. Then there are those who I reckon develop sun sensitivity, 'genetically' changing after prolonged exposure to a changed climate and diet, like me I reckon. And there's sexual selection - with those who favoured lighter skinned people to have kids with, traditionally a sign both in the southern (such as the 'red' and 'yellow' women of African beauty lore well before conact with the West) and in the northern societies (the 'English rose' or 'porcelain beauty' within Europe/ Asia) of people who don't have to work the fields all day, becoming a sign of class and thus beauty ideal (though that's been upturned since the 1950s as a 'healthy' tan indicated you were rich and could afford to fly off on holidays, and nowadays are an outdoorsy, sociable, sporty health guru whose mixed race kids will be assumed as 'beautiful' and have stronger DNA). It's a mix of all of them. They think the original Africans had the same reddish skin tones, as seen in their closest DNA relatives, the San/ Bushmen. Aztecs https://i.postimg.cc/NF25b70d/ss.jpg www.mexicolore.co.uk San Bushmen (the closest fit to prehistoric Homo Sapiens DNA - a mix of all races, and our original template. Even though they live under the desert sun as one of the last remaining hunter-gatherer societies, their skin often does not go as dark as their African Namibian counterparts) https://i.postimg.cc/Vkjj5PCN/ss.jpghttps://i.postimg.cc/BQv7z0vk/ss.jpg https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/129830401734102076/ compared to other parts of Africa, who like the rest of the world, diversified into what we call the major races today. Alot of people misconstrue the idea that when we came from Africa we looked like how Africans look today, and that they're our original ancestors. https://i.postimg.cc/d17ggcnJ/ss.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/X7DdYMkR/ss.jpg https://face2faceafrica.com/article/...er-skin-colour All they can agree on is that it seems our skin tones diversified around the start of farming (and restriction of diet and intake of vitamin D, plus stronger sexual selection), not on our contact with varying sun levels - where dark skinned people lived in cold climates for tens of thousands of years previously. |

But I am referring to permanent settlements within the USA, that map only counts European colonial cities |

Those are the oldest continually inhabited cities in the US. Could be wrong, but I don't think there were any pre-Colombian towns or cities north of Mexico that have been continuously settled. |

I don't think the founding of New Amsterdam would represent a continuous line of habitation from where the Lenape villages of Manhattan Island left off. The history or New York as we know it really begins in 1624. Likewise, many other cities of North America have the ruins of former indigenous settlements within their present-day borders (which in most cases were abandoned prior to the arrival of European settlers anyway; so not continuous). But those European colonial settlements were founded independently of whatever might have already existed in its surrounding area. This is a bit different from places like Mexico City or Cusco, where the process of colonization moreso took the form of the existing cities changing hands to new rulers - thus we can still say that today's Mexico City was founded as Tenochtitlan in 1325. |
