Right, if you read my entire post, you'd see that I said race is a pretty poor way to distinguish between genetic groups because it only looks at a single factor (skin color) which is primarily driven by a single external influence (sunlight exposure). And so groups of people living at the same latitude, but on opposite sides of the globe, can often end up with the same skin color despite very different genetics.

Well, I don't see any real evidence that environment is a factor. But you are right on with genetics. As far as skin color in certain regions, I just see it as according to migration patterns for the best hospitable environment depending on genetic makeup. Of course in the age of AC and central heating, this varies more now.
