skin colour

NO RACISM!!!!!!

I've wondered about this for a very long time.

dark skin, black, brown, mocha etc.... howcome people with dark skin have all dark skin except for the palms of their hands, the soles of their feet and their lips and mouths? this is not a racial question, more like biology. my first thought was that maybe the skin cells rub off leaving only the pink, but i doubt that its right cuz its just a guess.
anyone know why this is the way it is??

 

look at the palms of your hand do you have pigmintation...no you don't. I am not saying you are a racist, but all you had to think to do was look at your own hands.

 

i did that, the palms of my hands are no different then the tops of them, or the rest of my body.

and lack of pigmentation to me would be pure white, like and albino, not pink.
i'm just curious, i'm not trying to start a debat or argument or anything.

 

i wish mine could be pumpkin orange with lime green markings or i could have fur with markings like that

=^^=
.../\...

 

your palms normaly face in so you don't need as much protection (from the sun)... same with the bottom of your feet..

 

LMAO That would be cool!

 

like he said but man do i wish i was brown DAMM SUN

 

Bring some logic to the group

 

I was getting a bit worried

 

I always thought it was the "rub off" theory, but I relly have no idea

Matt you are so smart

 

flattery will get you everywere ...

 

That kinda explains it, but someone with dark skin (not a tan) doesn't always or possibly never has their whole body in the sun, yet every part other than the hands, soles, lips, ect, which probably sees more sun than some other parts, are dark.

 

we did not always wear clothes.

 

But we do now, I've seen some buttcracks awhich have probably never seen the sun even if the girls was naked her whole life, unless she walked around holding it open. Yet the palm of her hands which probably got 100% more sun time were still alot paler then the inside of her but crack.

 

Well if you go on holiday too a hot country and your white..you get a sun tan ... right ??? when you get home it fades..your natural colouring returns..it depends were your ancestors were born.

 

But this thread isn't about white people, it's about black, indian, ect anyone who is always dark regardless of sun exposure.

 

Coloured peoples ancestors came from sun drenched coutries..so needed more protection from the sun..its just a natural evolution.

They pulled a face and the wind changed...???

 

So how does that make their palms, soles and lips, ect pale and not other places ,such as the butt crack, pale. i understand why they are dark, but why those places would be pale and not others.
