All people on Earth are related; we share 99.99% of the same DNA. Skin colorations evolved according to where people settled and remained. Those in colder climates with less sunlight became lighter in skin color. Those who lived in hotter areas with more intense sunlight evolved to have darker skin.

People with darker skins come from places around the world that are closer to the equator. The further you get from the equator, the lighter people's skin tends to be. People from northern Europe or northern Canada for example, are lightest in skin, and have blonder hair. Southern Europe or places like Mexico and parts of Asia, have people with darker skins, but not very dark skin. As you get closer to the equator, skin is darker. People in central Africa or central parts of south America, have the darkest skins.

This is all because of how skin reacts to the sun. Someone with very fair skin, would burn very quickly if they lived near the equator. People with darker skins can burn, but their skin is more suited to living when there is hotter sun. That is the main reason that people have different colour skins. So the answer to your question is that people with the darkest skins originate from the parts of the world that are nearest to the equator.

There are "black people" native to India, New Guinea, Melanesia, Parts of the Arabian penninsula and Australia . Science suspects this was an adaptation resulting from strong UV exposure in these areas. Recent studies indicate that one of the earliest inhabitants of Britain (Cheddar Man) was dark skinned bu blur eyed. This may indicate tat at one time almost all humans had a dark skin colour. The "white skin" did not exist prior to 10,000 years ago just like dietary modifications that allowed the consumption of milk.
