Post 2: What was the racial situation in Eurasia when the first nonblack people arrived?
About 75k years ago there was a exodus from Africa into Eurasia from whom all nonblacks are descended. At the time of this exodus, Eurasia was populated by negritos (black people) and by some non-humans, e.g. Neanderthals.
These Neanderthals had light-colored skins and especially occupied Europe. So the characteristic light skins of Europeans may have something to do with Neanderthal influence.
