To return to topic. Iraq probably holds the cradle of life and either people were originally arab looking as seen in the biblical point of view or humans were still black after evolving to human.But in either case it just wasn't white.
If I had to make a guess I would think eastern Asians were the first type around.

Yes, it's actually what I guess too but apperantly it has been proven wrong, so unless we were mormon cult followers we wouldn't completely ignore the historical discoveries.
I dont believe their is evidence to support Africa birthed the first humans. If there is evidence it may be false. Eastern Asians or middle easterners are the best bet.

Scientists said yesterday that they have discovered a tiny genetic mutation that largely explains the first appearance of white skin in humans tens of thousands of years ago, a finding that helps solve one of biology's most enduring mysteries and illuminates one of humanity's greatest sources of strife.The work suggests that the skin-whitening mutation occurred by chance in a single individual after the first human exodus from Africa, when all people were brown-skinned. That person's offspring apparently thrived as humans moved northward into what is now Europe, helping to give rise to the lightest of the world's races.
That is so cool! I wonder when I'll be able to check Genetically Mutated African American on a Census form.
Of course, someone better get in touch with the churches about updating their

Well it depends on how you define the term "mutation." In a broad sense, the term mutation could be used to classify all types of variation found within the human race. This includes various other physical differences we find among humans..such as hair color, eye color, weight, height, etc.
However, I don't like to categorize various differences in races as "mutations"..because, it seems a bit racist. Particularly since nothing limits us as human beings to producing fertile offspring despite our minor physical differences.
Anyway, moving on...it's an interesting study..that's my two cents worth.
