@@micheledix2616 I'm not sure you've understood the video. The problem to produce vitamin D is not the light skin. Light skin actually makes it easier to get as much vitamin D as possible because it is an adaptation to living in the north where there is not enough sunlight. It is exactly the lack of sun that causes the lack of vitamin D. Dark skinned people living in the north have a much bigger problem producing high levels of vitamin D than white skinned people because their skin colour is adapted to more sun. What really is dangerous though is, as you do, not to use sunscreen. There are high levels of skin cancer in Australians with white skin who don't use sun screen, so you should reconsider this habit however lazy you may be.

The lecture drifted from interesting science to clownish chiding and virtue signaling - admonishing us to make a perhaps dishonest change in society that can't work if there is, indeed, a difference; a difference now clouded by the radioactively-charged word "race" but that is, in fact, a difference that is simply "difference." Ignoring a real difference, if it exists, is dishonest and counterproductive and cannot lead to the solution of problems which have arisen from that difference. It must be addressed head on, whether doing so is politically correct or not. To preach otherwise is to be cowardly - at a moment in time that calls for bravery, lest we perpetuate injustice because we refuse to address a reality-based course of action. And if you can't even talk about it because someone's feelings might be hurt, or you will be shouted down, the solution will never be found.

Dr. Jablonski used the term thermoregulation to describe our ability to "remove/retain" heat. Skin color has little effect on heat loss, relative to predicate methods of relying on fur. Skin color's impact is there, but minor. Heat loss from fur-less skin is much more (orders more) than by skin color alone. So it's minor. And the Vit. D issue isn't key. Melanin & Vitamin-D production are "yin/yang" symbiotic - *_both_** are key* to survival.

Also how originally skin color wasn't important as a value judgement until Hume and Kant came along and published their hubristic, prejudicial opinions that became the basis of hierarchal racism.

Thank you for making this video Nina C. Jablonski. We may be approaching the Event Horizon of our own self inflicted demise once again because we still have not learned from the errors of our ways.

Wow. Loved this clear presentation and framing it in a connective way forward. Lets celebrate our diversity and harness its true strengths.

Thank you to my 6th grade teacher for teaching this to me 40 yrs ago,,,,,,this just encourages my diet more

Thank you very much for this detailed presentation. I have long pondered this question, and as a teacher, especially appreciate the freely downloadable curriculum you offer at the end. Kudos! ❤

I liked the explanation of the UVA, B, and C significance. I was intrigued by how a person from Southern India, Australia, and the Africa can all have the same skin tone but totally different facial features. I would love to hear how eyes, nostrils, muscle tone, and hair came to be different although I think I know some of it. I would like to hear the science of it.

Differences in facial features, just like differences in skin tone, come about over long periods of time among populations of the same species geographically separated from one another, and it's seen in many species other than humans. Skin colour is considered a very superficial characteristic, meaning it can change in a very short time in a population; we can see that ourselves when a biracial couple have children. Their children usually have skin colour lighter than one parent's, and darker than the other. If they go on to have children with other dark-skinned people, all of the white parent's descendants could be dark-skinned in a couple of generations. It goes the other way, too. The very dark-skinned people of some parts of Southern India and Sri Lanka may have had ancestors who lived further north and had lighter skin. There is still a lot we don't know and can only theorize about. Sometimes there are adaptive reasons for a characteristic - eg., a larger or thinner nose, or a wider face with higher cheekbones, or a smaller mouth or eyes - being favoured and spreading throughout a population, but not always. There is a great deal of difference in features even among African people; in fact the people of the continent are far more diverse, genetically, than all the human beings outside Africa, indicating our species inhabited only that continent for most of our existence and the migrations out of it happened only relatively "recently". Anthropologists and other scientists keep setting back these timelines; it used to be more or less agreed that the first human migrations out of Africa happened no earlier than 60,000 years ago, but there are now some theories that they started as long ago as 100,000 years ago, and that anatomically modern humans - i.e., humans no different physically or mentally from humans today - could have existed on the African continent for as long as 600,000 years. Fossil records tell us very little, and they don't even exist in many kinds of environments.

Thank you Nina for this excellent lecture covering much of my previous knowledge but condensed down into a brilliantly manageable hour. Superb!

I lived in Alaska for 5 years, the kids were young. We ate a lot of king salmon. Every week, year around. Fresh, frozen and canned. Hubby would bring home huge king salmon. Lots of D in king salmon, a very fatty fish.

Excellent talk. There’s such richness in it that you have to watch it at least twice. Thank you for doing such extraordinary detailed work that we all benefit from🙏🏽

Wonderful talk that everyone needs to hear.

My father explained to me, when I was a child. Of course. This amazing explanation is very detailed, and transparent.

This is information that should be taught from early learning thru higher education. This was very well done. Thank you!!

Solid science, and an excellent way to use it - thanks Professor Jablonski! If this had been taught in all elementary schools when I was a boy (a long time ago) the world would be a different and better place today.

@petefluffy7420 It's in the way you present the ideas. You don't use technical jargon, but easy to understand words for the children. I have taught and written training materials for 6th graders to engineers and astronauts. To me, being intelligent and knowledgeable about the topic means that I can explain it to most people at an appropriate and understandable level. Many professors cannot do that. They want the students to come up to their level instead of going down to theirs.

@@monicaluketich6913 The ideas in this video were not present in any form in my public school years. In my high school I was taught that humans are separated into four distinct races. The racial categories in my Health Class text book were the same as the races described by Kant. And that was in California, in the 1960s, in Indio, which was a segregated town - African Americans in Indio couldn't rent or buy a house outside of a subdivision called (and I'm not making this up) Nairobi Estates.

I periodically have to remind people that skin color is irrelevant, if you can interbreed it means you're the same. Though I have to admit that different skin tones can add an element of novelty. I'm an average pinky-beige Caucasian and my girlfriend is a wonderful light brown Hispanic. To me her skin tone is a delicious side benefit.

Absolutely wonderful! Thank you for this wonderful work.

I was born 72 years ago in the crucible of mankind, The Rift Valley, in Kenya. Scottish parents. What an enlightening Woman!

When I was young I made friends with people who had different skin colors. I really didn't know the difference. My parents didn't talk about people's skin colors and my dad worked with a lot of black and brown people. When I found out about prejudice I was astounded. I've never judged anybody by their skin color and it seemed so ridiculous to me. I always thought it had something to do with the sun but I wasn't sure. After hearing your talk I am much more sure of myself and my beliefs. And skin color has nothing to do with other physical characteristics, as you pointed out. That's why you can't say, "black people have kinky hair," or "black men have large penises," because there are just as many differences in blacks as in people of any other race.

@@johnallenismynameandmusici2796 Muslims don’t believe that humans and God look alike. In Islam, God is beyond comprehension, beyond anything in creation, and cannot be reduced to descriptions that human language require of beings, like having a body; furthermore, any use of this type of language in relation to God in Islam is metaphorical, again due to the limits of human language. As an example of an effect of a limitation in human language, in English I am forced to use S/He to refer to God, but in Arabic, God is gender neutral because the language is less limited in this respect ( re: expressing gender); this has resulted in English language culture and other European language cultures to conceptualize God as male (as the masculine form was predominant). So, what we have here is both language and theology working together to create a male, humanoid God. Just an FYI :)

@@jamies7899 You are correct. Language is very clumsy. I think of "God" as "It." Neither male or female. It is on a level of consciousness that is so far above ours that it is incomprehensible. I think It is in every rock, every human, every tree and is all-knowing. But we're not here to worship God, It doesn't need that. What It wants is for us to utilize all of our comprehension to fight for good because evil lies in the hearts of men. It did not create evil, we did.

That was awesome! Great info and a great message.

Thank God for this information. It should be in all schools.

Dr. Jablonski, thank you for an interesting lecture. I thoroughly enjoyed your believable interpretation and explanation of evolutionary skin pigmentation and de-pigmentation. As a black man, I want to add that the United States system of government and 99% of the citizens have in my opinion removed all regulatory bias regarding skin color. It is up to the citizens to remove color bias in the minds of our children. God bless you and God bless the USA.

Beautifully explained! Mind opening and empowering! 👏👏🏻👏🏼👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿

It's likely Ms.Jablonski has a Doctorate. I have a sister whose a professor,and I can tell you,being of Polish heritage,am so proud of her. It's always so good to see 'ski' followed by 'PhD'. It's a sad fact that so many people never hold the racial falsehoods implanted since infancy under critical analysis. It was a long process for myself, which couldn't have happened without life experience,for me to come to an appreciation of how individual identity and heritage,in all its variety,is one of the most fascinating aspects of our human tribe. Anyone whose had a surprise insight hiding in their DNA test results knows that sudden illumination. We are our own greatest enigma.

If you think that we are predisposed to being a certain way by DNA that is scientific Calvinism and it's very much related to a mindset that spawned the NAZI party. Replacing fate with DNA programming does not represent freedom. Each human has potential we do have differences but we are not programmed to be superior. All that pride is often used to start wars and is no more scientific than any other prejudice.
