Races: True or False; or
Simply a Myth…
Les mémoires du racisme.
Based on Scientific evidence, today
we know that the human genome is neither white nor black, or yellow. The human
race is one and the humans who inhabit the planet all share a common origin.
Homo sapiens emerged, there are about 150,000 years in Africa Tropical then
gradually migrated out of the continent there 60,000 years to come then
colonize the entire planet over the millennia that followed…the average skin color
distribution of the world, variations in color, clear or dark, are the result
of the human body adapts to environmental conditions and climate. The color
depends on the concentration of melanin, is a pigment produced by the skin
cells as a function of exposure to the sun. Dark skin offers protection against
the sun then gradually cleared up towards the higher latitudes. It adapts well in
which there is less sunshine and allows the synthesis of a vitamin growth,
vitamin D.
Advances in biology, genetics, and archeology
make it possible to establish that there is no hierarchy among people. The
issue of race seems scientifically settled and yet racism reappears constantly,
and in various forms. When it no longer applies to the color of the skin, however,
it bypasses and applies, for example, to names, tenants, job applicants. It
moves to religion issues, and even to the category of immigration.
So when you measure the adaptability of the phenomenon, you ask yourself, why is it that this classification between men is so difficult to overcome? Why is it always reappears as a political issue? Why, in fact, that we should always face racism? In fact, it is not easy to talk about racism, it is not a rational phenomenon, we touch on these issues emotionally or on personally basis, and yet children are born without having the slightest idea of color of their skin, so why can’t adults see things in the same manner? And what would be next?
