Fascinating!

All the jokes aside, it is very interesting to me how humans went on to be established in all the diverse parts of the Earth.

I wonder if there were initially no races; all humans looked the same, yet with the characteristics of individuals and sexes, and how they went about eventually become more specialized.

For example, was black or very dark brown skin first, and lighter, less melanin infused skin come later?

Was hair originally wooly and kinky—meaning nappy, and then become straight, or vice versus? Chimp hair is black—you don’t see too many red or blond chimps—yet their hair is straight and uniform in length. How come human head hair continues to grow throughout life?

Where did blonde hair and blue eyes come from?

Flared nostril, wide noses versus large, narrow noses?

Slanted eyes versus round eyes?

And now this article... Were the original Europeans aborigine looking or pale Nordics?

Looks like there were several waves of “original” humans into Europe so its a difficult question to answer. They have theorized the early hunter gatherer population had dark skin and blue eyes.
