We moved to !casualconversation@piefed.social please look for https://lemm.ee/post/66060114 in your instance search bar

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Actually, yes, and actually, no.

If you take a white person and put them in the equator for multiple generations, they'll turn brown. If you try to put the result back north, it'll take them multiple generations to get pale again.

There isn't really an inherent difference between us. There are small mutations or diseases that can kill, like Alzheimer's, but those are all basically incidental. Your genes can change, that's what evolution is.

We ALL came from Africa, anyway, and then settled down in various places for a while, adapting. The longer people have adapted, the more they've adapted. But it doesn't set anything in stone, and everybody still retains that ability to adapt.

That's basically evolution lol if you go down that route then we are all plankton, animals and all.
