No, all humans, regardless of race, share a common evolutionary origin in Africa. The migration of human populations out of Africa over thousands of years led to the development of different physical characteristics in different regions, including variations in skin color.
Human beings evolved in Africa, everyone of every race, creed or color is the same species with the same line of ancestry. And furthermore all mammals have the same (extended) line of ancestry, and eventuall all life, including plants and animals, have the same family tree.
Your immediate family tree goes back hundreds of years. Your family tree branches off from africans, Japanese, European people etc thousands of years ago. Your family tree branches off from other mammals millions of years ago, and your family tree branched off from the ancestry of plants and insects hundreds of millions of years ago, about when the first multicellular life evolved.
A more detailed response:
People of European descent (i.e., those with fair-skin) only make up a small portion of the world's population. Most of the world is comprised of darker-skinned people. This is tied to human evolution. Both chimps and humans share a common forest-dwelling ancestor who lived around 7 million years ago. Once the individual chimp and human lines split into separate evolutionary paths, we left the forests for the savannahs, switching from walking on all fours to just walking on two legs. Two-legged walking affords a more upright posture, which provides less surface area for the sun to warm the body. This is obviously a good thing if you are covered in a thick layer of coarse hair. Overtime, our bodies began to lose the hair in order to more efficiently cool down. Many scientists believe this pre-human form most likely had lighter skin just like the modern Chimpanzees. Then our bodies began to respond to living on the sun-drenched savannahs by producing large amounts of melanin, thus darkening the skin. When "anatomically modern" humans, those with skulls and bones similar to modern proportions, appeared around 150,000-200,000 years ago, they would have looked a lot like someone of African descent. The next stage in human skin color change is tied to mass migrations out of Africa. What is known as "behaviorally modern" humans, those with the behaviors that we know today, began to leave Africa around 50,000 years ago. They simply left in search of better food resources and more territory in which the individual families could grow. Over many millennia, they spread into what would later be deemed Saudi Arabia, India, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Australia. Some groups split from that in India and spread into what would become Central Asia, the rest of the Middle East, and Europe. Over the course of many thousands of years, the skin of humans living in areas that afforded less sun exposure began to lighten in order to better process vitamin D, which is important to our immune system. The sun is our best natural source for vitamin D, so it is important that humans absorb it so we can fight off infections, flu, and some cancers. Obviously, someone living in the cold, rainy climate of Europe would need very pale skin because it would soak up the small bits of light that would make it through the clouds just like a dry sponge in water.

We are modern humans, we live all over the planet in various situations but I think the most distinctive habitat that we have is that which we have created - urban cities. The most archetypal of which must be New York.
Human Beings evolved from the mud worm (as did many other species). Scientists recently discovered that before today's Human Being, there were several species of humans that existed in Africa. References - PBS Documentary, Becoming Human: Nova (Episodes 1-3) Note: There were no human beings or chimps 4 billion years ago because at that time, the earth was only 600 million years old. Despite what some believe, Humans did not exist when dinosaurs existed.
Africans were used as slaves because they were looked down on and were resistant to malaria, a disease that had killed most Native American slaves. Also, slavery existed in a different form in Africa, so African slave traders provided a large supply to whites.
They were located in Europe to the south of the European Ice sheet during the last Ice age. Their ancestors are believed to have been one of the species of hominids that originated in Africa.They were originally from Africa. As they migrated into Europe and Asia, their bodies changed as they adapted to the colder conditions. Their bodies became stockier and their skin became lighter.
From Africa, where else?
i
1994
The surprisingly peaceful transition from apartheid to majority rule suggests that blacks and whites in South Africa were quite "civil."
Protests from the local people led to the whites delcaring the union of South Africa. Protests from the local people led to the whites delcaring the union of South Africa.
When colonizing Africa.
They are Caucasians (whites), the majority of them are Arabs and Berbers, who are whites or Caucasians
Pro apartheid activists (maily whites) and anti apartheid activists (including whites and non whites).
it didnt evolve the african americans were taken from there home in africa to america. thay had no choice
1994 1910 if you are looking at it from a whites' perspective.
Hominoids evolved in Asia and Africa.
south Africa is a very good place to be. i do not know how to awnser this question the right way but i know that whites and black did not have food or snacks :)
I would say that they were either in Africa or being taken out of Africa to be slaves by the whites
