White Europeans 'only evolved 5,500 years agoafter food habits changed'

People in England may have only developed pale skin within the last 5,500 years, according to new research.

Scientists believe that a sudden change in the diet around that time from hunter-gathering to farming may have led to a dramaticchange in skin tone to make up for a lack of vitamin D.

Farmed food is lacking in vitamin D and while humans can produce it when exposed to the ultraviolet light in sunlight darker skin isfar less efficient at it.

People with pale skin may be descended from Europeans who dramatically changed their diets after switching from hunter-gatheringto farming

Scientists at the University of Oslo believe this change in diet may have led to our dark-skinned ancestors evolving paler skin toovercome this problem.

The link between skin colour and Vitamin D from sunlight has been suggested before.

It had previously been believed that our ancestors skin had gradually lightened to generate more Vitamin D the further north theymoved away from the equator to places where there was less sunlight.

Now scientists believe that the change in their diet away from foods rich in Vitamin D also played a major factor in the skin lighteningin colour.

And the particularly pale skins of people in Scandinavia may have evolved to maximise the amount of Vitamin D that could beproduced, the research suggests.

If the theory is correct it would mean that until this period in history, the ancient inhabitants of Britain and Scandinavia - ourancestors - would have had a dark skin tone.

Johan Moan, of the university's Institute of Physics, said in a research paper: In England, from 5,500-5,200 years ago the food

changed rapidly away from fish as an important food source. This led to a rapid development of ... light skin.

The research paper, written with Richard Setlow, a biophysicist at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York state, states : Cold

climates and high latitudes would speed up the need for skin lightening.

Agricultural food was an insufficient source of vitamin D, and solar radiation was too low to produce enough vitamin D in dark skin.

Children with fair skins are able to get their daily dose of Vitamin D with just 10 to 20 minutes in the sun.

But research has shown that sun-protective skin pigments in black children means that it takes up four times as long for the skin toproduce enough of the vitamin.

Milk and a few other foods such as fatty fish are fortified with vitamin D but most people get very little through their diets.

A lack of Vitamin D has been linked with cancers, bone problems, type 1 diabetes, and even multiple sclerosis.

One recent study in the U.S found that nearly half of African American women of childbearing age may be deficient in vitamin D.

I don't see why the majority here view this article as an insult. Who the heck cares if white skin evolved 1000 years ago instead? Orif straight hair evolved 2000 years ago? Or if beaked noses showed up last week? They're only physical features for crying out loud.They had to come from somewhere. It's not a reflection of white peoples' worth as human beings. Those of you who see

downgrading in all this baffle me completely.

The domestication of cattle began in Europe, which is widely believed to have been in the Neolithic ( about 15,000 years ago ) toaround 10,500 years ago. Therefore the theory that the change from fish to farming wheat as part of the great agricultural leapforward led to white skin is undermined by just two important facts: The first Great Leap Forward in relation to Vitamin D productionwas nothing to do with agriculture, but when the domestication of cattle occured. The domestication of cattle occured nearly 12,000years ago - and at that point the milk produced by cattle allowed Vitamin D to be ingested via milk, butter and cheese, far betterproducers of Vitamin D than agricultural foodstuffs. Therefore the idea that only when europeans grew wheat were they capable ofgetting enough Vitaim D from sources other than sunlight is total nonsense. Europeans had already been getting Vitamin D in milk,butter and cheese for over 5,000 years before they grew wheat etc.

@ Fred Kite, Notts, Those who live north of the Arctic Circle have to contend with very bright sunlight glaring off the snow. I wouldsuspect their skin is darker to accommodate this sunshine and brilliant radiance. They won't need to be as white as me in order tocreate more vitamin D as there is more sunshine up there. And as for the rest of the questions about why black people don't seem tobe lightening in America etc, it simply hasn't been long enough for them to change their skin tone. But, the point is, skin tone is sucha small indicator on the DNA scale of WHO we are that it really should be ignored. But it's the first thing we see, and we make

"Oh dear,the BNP will be upset when they hear this. - Ritchie, Birkenhead, 30/8/2009 23:01" What? This research (which looksdubious) appears to suggest that white people have evolved even since the heyday of Gobekli Tepe, a cradle of civilization stillbeing unearthed in southern Turkey. Are whites, then, the most evolved humans?

Ed from Lincoln Have you actually read the story ? If so do you understand what the words mean ? "And the particularly pale skinsof people in Scandinavia may have evolved to maximise the amount of Vitamin D that could be produced, the research suggests."This research is not just focusing on England. What a nightmare it must be to live with the idea that the world is populated with a'liberal elite' that is just trying to prove that as a white skinned person you are not a superior being ! In certain cases such ideas couldbe seen as delusional. Posts such as yours and similar do make me feel very concerned about education in Britain.

For those previous posters who express concern that their tax money may have been spent on this scientific research then I suggestthey check an atlas. Check where the University of Oslo is, and they'll find it's in Norway. So unless they are Norweigian citizens orworking and taxed there they'll have not paid a penny. Also their ignorance shows how little they understand of the nature ofacademic research. New evidence is constantly being evaluated and interpreted against existing knowledge. The paranoidramblings of some of the previous posters about the 'lberal elite' etc just show how deluded these people are. How it must tormentthem to think that darker skin races may have been their ancestors ! As my husband always says ...why is it that white supremacistsare usually so lacking in intellect ?

GADGET REVIEWS

Gadget of the week: Philips Wake-up Light can make the mornings easier

Nobody likes getting up in the morning. That's a fact. So spending money on anything that makes it less painful is probably a sound

investment.Gadget review: Skullcandy Crusher Headphones

The Crusher does exactly what it says on the tin. Unleash an unrelenting torrent of deep bass through your eardrums. Be warned,

these are not for the faint-hearted.Gadget review: Klipsch Image X7i in-ear headphones with 3-button control

The Klipsch X7i headphones are nearly perfect. Nearly. The sound is excellent - and in headphones, that's 90 per cent of the battle

won. Just some blips hold them back.Gadget review: Samsung Galaxy S4 phone

At the end of July Samsung overtook Apple to become the world's most profitable mobile phone company. We look at the S4 to see

why it's so popular.

Gadget of the week: Lepow Moonstone 6000 mobile power bank

Ever been out and about and your phone's run out of juice? Of course you have. The Lepow Moonstone 6000mAh portable

powerbank could be a lifesaver.Yurbuds Ironman Series headphones

The selling point of the Yurbuds are that they don't fall out. Which on the face of it, given that headphones are meant to stay in your

ears, doesn't seem that big a deal.Gadget of the week: Kansi 9twenty folding bike

Feast your eyes on the Kansi 9twenty - one of a range of four bikes on the market in the UK - highly functional and fab looking. Well

worth the asking price.Philips In Sight wireless home monitor

The Philips In Sight wireless home monitor is a brilliant way of keeping track of your home. Place it in any room and watch a live

video feed from your smartphone.

8/8



Sennheiser Momentum over-ear headphones

Quality comes at a price, but not as much as youd think. The Momentums blend state-of-the-art design and materials with cutting-

edge sound.Philips ActionFit sports headband

I've always been skeptical about sports headphones that aren't in-ear. The pairs I have owned have either been uncomfortable or

too loose.

WeSC Piston headphones

At 40, these WeSC Piston headphones seem somewhat of a bargain. Sadly, although their looks will win over fans, audio sounds

muffled whatever the volume.Ads by GoogleMan Cheats Credit Score www.thecreditsolutionprogram.com1 simple trick & my credit score jumped 217 pts.
