Human skin color diversity is highest in sub-Saharan African populations.
"Previous studies of genetic and craniometric traits have found higher levels of within-population diversity in sub-Saharan Africa compared to other geographic regions. This study examines regional differences in within-population diversity of human skin color. Published data on skin reflectance were collected for 98 male samples from eight geographic regions: sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa, Europe, West Asia, Southwest Asia, South Asia, Australasia, and the New World. Regional differences in local within-population diversity were examined using two measures of variability: the sample variance and the sample coefficient of variation. For both measures, the average level of within-population diversity is higher in sub-Saharan Africa than in other geographic regions. This difference persists even after adjusting for a correlation between within-population diversity and distance from the equator. Though affected by natural selection, skin color variation shows the same pattern of higher African diversity as found with other traits."
-- Relethford JH.(2000). Human skin color diversity is highest in sub-Saharan African populations. Hum Biol. 2000 Oct;72(5):773-80.)


Modern DNA studies find even though some African peoples look different, they are genetically related through the PN2 transition clade of the Y-chromosone. Thus light-skinned African Libyans and dark-skinned Zulus are all genetically related Africans ,even though they don't look exactly the same.
"But the Y-chromosome clade defined by the PN2 transition (PN2/M35, PN2/M2) shatters the boundaries of phenotypically defined races and true breeding populations across a great geographical expanse. African peoples with a range of skin colors, hair forms and physiognomies have substantial percentages of males whose Y chromosomes form closely related clades with each other, but not with others who are phenotypically similar. The individuals in the morphologically or geographically defined 'races' are not characterized by 'private' distinct lineages restricted to each of them." (S O Y Keita, R A Kittles, et al.

KidStranglehold:

I see.

But what I was trying to really say was when those Near Easterns left for the colder parts, they adapted and came back to the warmer parts. I know I am not explaining good. But the same thing happened with the area of China. The darker population of southern china migrated to the colder parts or non tropical parts and migrated back, thats where how modern Chinese people came about.

Similar this is what happened to Southeast Asians. The original population of SEA was the Negritos(non African), once the lighter population emerged they were pushed back further south.

That is what kinda happened to the early Arabians.

Sorry if I am not explaining is well. And note there are 'black' populations outside Africa that are not related to Africans, which is why the thing called 'race' has its flaws.

Um....Yeah the only horners I posted were Ethiopians and Eriteans out of the MANY and MANY Africans posted. And I didn't even post North Africans yet, so I don't even understand where you're coming.
