Hi Micah, welcome.
When man went to the moon, he didn't wait to evolve a method of breathing withou oxygen did he? He built a space suit - it was quicker. Similarly when man left Africa, putting on clothing was quicker than growing body hair when moving north. Our skills were in thinking and tool making.
African people have black skin because it contains a pigment called melanin which protects the skin from the UV rays from the sun. It's why fair skinned people like me go red and blister if I don't use skin protection creams and why I eventually go brown if I'm more careful.
Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif. Je suis Parisien.

Faith is the denial of observation so that Belief can be preserved."
