Descrizione
English: 26,000 BC: Homo sapiens is restricted to the Old World plus Australasia up to approx. 45° north. Lesser solar radiation at higher latitudes has resulted in natural selection for reduced pigmentation of the skin, to prevent rickets, becoming more prominent the higher the latitude. H. sapiens has been living in the Middle East for at least 50,000 years, from which has been populated East Asia for at least 35,000 years and the Mediterranean for at least 15,000 years, giving ample time to adapt to the corresponding latitudes.

10,000 BC: With the onset of the Holocene, the climate has become habitable in northern Eurasia, enabling migrations to high latitudes and via the land bridge of Beringia to the Americas.

8,000 BC: The sea levels are slowly rising as the Holocene progresses. High levels of solar radiation in the mid- and low-latitudes of the Americas results in natural selection for greater pigmentation to avoid skin cancer. Meanwhile, in northern Europe the new temperate climate, which has greater cloud cover and thereby less sunlight, in combination with the high latitude, has resulted in the emergence of the palest skin colours (associated with the expression of genes such as SLC24A5 and SLC45A2-F374) - most likely from Scandinavia according to available genetic data. Please note the dating is currently controversial, with estimates from 28,000 BC to 8,000 BC. This adaptation may have been affected by increased cloud cover with the onset of the Holocene in northern Europe, or may instead have an earlier origin in the glacial period.

4,000 BC: The sea levels have become relatively similar to the present by 5000 BC. By the time of the European Neolithic, skin colour distribution in Europe has become similar to the present, though the precise dating for this process is yet to be agreed.

1500 AD: Various migrations have resulted in the settling of many remote islands by this time, such as Madagascar by Indonesians before the 4th century AD and New Zealand by Polynesians in the 12th century. European colonialism is soon to gain momentum.
