∙ 8y agoHi, I've also been researching that question but might be too late now. The answer lies within how ethnic groups have adapted to environments they come from, and how much UV they've been getting from the sun. For an example. the intake of UV rays in Peru, Liberia, and Southern India is much more higher than the UV ray intake in France, the Netherlands, etc.
Skin ton has been balanced to regulate ultraviolet radiation on vitamin D and folate.
Africans (Americans [not all "Northern cities can be identified as American]) usually have much darker skin can synthesize vitamin D all year long, and do not need to maximize UV absorption. Instead the skin has evolved to a darker tone to protect against the destruction of folate from UV rays.
Anyone with darker skin, in an area that is less sufficient in UV rays will be more prone to several health problems including:
anemia which comes from a deficit in folate.
Another disadvantage of dark skin in a higher latitude because melanin provides too much shielding against UV rays, thus not absorbing enough, and lower production of vitamin D.
This can result in rickets disease and osteoporosis.
To combat such health problems can be a higher intake of foods with vitamin D, such as Inuits (who live in high latitudes yet sport a darker-tan skin tone) who eat a lot of fish and blubber full of vitamin D.
Sorry the answer was longer than I expected, hope it helped :)

Why do African-Americans feel the need to claim that Egyptians were Black-skinned when the overwhelming evidence holds that they were olive in coloration like today?
Answer 1While Northern Egyptians were Olive skinned southern Egyptians would have looked "traditionally black". For some centuries throughout the millennia that the Egyptian Empire existed it was ruled by some Olive skinned norther Egyptians, Some dark skinned Nubians, and some Asiatic peoples known as the Hyksos as the dynasties changed.Answer 2One of the major issues confronting the African-American community is that they had been told for centuries that they were worthless and could only achieve greatness under the aegis or control of the "White Man". As a result, they sought out counter-examples to demonstrate that there was a flourishing number of African cultures that were built and guarded by Blacks. Rather than search out the history of the Ghana, Mali, Songhai, Nubia/Kush, Great Zimbabwe, Abyssinian Empires, Zanzibar, the Somali Sultanates, the Zulu Chiefdoms and numerous other more obscure African Kingdoms that were actually created and run by Blacks, they chose to consider the Egyptians, since they lived in Africa, as their evidence of African greatness. Choosing the Egyptians also had the advantage that African-Americans did not have to justify why they believed the Egyptians to be a great civilization; they were already held in high-esteem by the White Community. However, this ease came at a great cost, with numerous African Americans now believing and claiming that the Egyptians were predominantly Black when they were of a Mediterranean coloration.
