For hundreds of years, European scientists believe that their distant ancestors are fair and fair. A recent study showed that Europeans, including Nordic residents, finally brightened 1700 years ago, Write Komsomolskaya Pravda is related to Biorxiv.
Migration of a series of tribes from Africa began 80,000 years ago and lasted about 40,000 years.
Researchers from Ferrara University in Italy said that it is reasonable to assume: Homo sapiens is the first people with modern appearance and our direct ancestors to Europe is likely to be the blackest, researchers from Ferrara University in Italy.
The scientists explained that the first European dark skin was initially, when generations changed, starting to light. People gradually adapt to new conditions – the intensity of ultraviolet radiation is smaller than the black continent.
Brighter skin has overcome it more than dark, thus helping the body produce vitamin D, which is important to maintain strong bones and muscles.
Experts have analyzed genetic materials extracted from the rest of 348 Europeans, who lived from 45,000 to 1700 years ago.
Research shows that 13,000 years ago, the ancestors of the Russians, the Swedish and all other peoples were dark – all had no exception. For “iron era” (about 3000-1700 years ago), the number of owners of bright and dark skin is equality-especially in Northern and Central Europe.
These Italians were confirmed by British scientists from the Museum of Natural History and the University of London. They allocated and analyzed DNA from the bones of the “Chaddar man”. Analysis shows that the ancestor's skin is dark brown, black and curly, his eyes are blue.
Researchers from Oslo University discovered that 10 thousand years ago, not only the British were chocolate, but all Europeans “mainland”. At the same time, they noted that they, the Norwegians lit up in front of other countries – about 6 thousand years ago.
