Color scheme is fucking wack. But how surprising. The Philippines is many shades darker than China, as opposed to the hard facts that Ingenius has presented to us. LOL

Why isn't France the darkest?

Here's a global map of the indigenous humans skin colour. It makes sense because when people live in a very hot climate over thousands of years, their skin and hair thickens and darkens during the evolution process to protect them against skin cancer in those type of burning environments, and in cold northern climates, the evolution process causes features to change in humans and other creatures, so pigmentation is lost, features change, skin becomes thinner, so to absorb vitamin D in lower levels of sunlight.
The hotter the climate, the darker the humans skin gets amongst the indigenous people over many thousands of years of evolution changes to help them survive better, just like other species adapt certain camouflages to blend into their natural environment and their features, eyes, coats, etc, adapt to survive.
