Dont you ever get tired of making socks? How much energy do you put into trolling, imagine if you applied it elsewhere (something useful)

they look Black, so they are from Sub-Saharian Africa.

They look even darker-pigmented than Coastal West Africans, so I'd guess Sudanese

Yeah, this region (Sudan and neighbours) is also one of the most sunniest on Earth, so it makes sense for them to be the darkest (places like Ghana, Nigeria etc. where most AAs come from are much cloudier)

^ hmm that map is odd though because according to the map afghans should be darker than sri lankans and southwest chinese should be darker than mongols etc.

its about sun exposure...sri lanka is a humid tropical climate, meaning cloud cover prevents UV rays from doing the damage it does in for eg, the Sahara or Gobi deserts (SW China). Why do you think Israelis have the highest skin cancer rates in the world? Because many are not 'native' to the environment (arid middle east)

(apparently SW Ontario gets more sun than most of N Europe...which I find surprising)

The sun in Toronto feels so very intense compared to Bangladesh. I get tanned very easily if I'm outside here while not so much in Bangladesh.

hmm, you know what that makes sense. The sun here is uber powerful the short time its out

One thing I remember about the sun in Somalia is that if you find shade, it is very 'cool'...while here, shade doesnt make much difference but in Somalia it was a blessing to sit under a tree or whatever in the hot sun.

well, it is my experience. I also reside in the coastal city of Chittagong in Bangladesh when I visit, and Bangladesh overall borders Assam which is the most humid place on earth in terms of average rainfall.

Impossible ; maybe you spend more time outside here than in Somalia

So bengala gets much sun irradiance cutted out like china
I though Bengalis were black skinned like Sri Lankans.. But mybe I suppose wrong

Chinese instead for their position are quite fair skinned (china is at much Middle East latitude) but for monsoons they get radiations cutted out (so Chinese s skin average is pho type III)

I think it has something to do with latitude...apparently, in the arctic during the summer you can get sun burn very easily

On ice cap I completely agree; well if you live near an year round iced place yes.. Ant it could be as Vancouver has iced paths for most of the year for example
That's why Eskimo people (the most East Asian looking in the world) have tanned skin and black hair (and there fore all East Asians people who are in fact ice cap adapted)

I took the sun in the alps.. It was summer but at a glacier (30000 m ) and below 0 but I stayed in swim suit!! Because ice radiations reflected from sun warmed me (and I got a huge tan)

What you described has nothing to do with latitude. Assuming it is not just a misperception, if I had to guess, it is most likely due to different building materials and how packed the environment is.

Well the native Tibetans are actually quite dark
