Melanism is rarer than Albinism
Because albinism (just like melanism) is an illness. You can find albinism in white, black or other populations. Would blacks like it to be compared with melanism ?
Albinism (just like melanism) is an illness. You can find albinism in white, black or other populations. Like white people can't be compared with albinism, so can't black people be compared with melanism.

The Evolution of Melanism was created in 1973.
I think albinism still exists I have heard of some cases about it. Albinism is an inherited condition that is present at birth. Read more at: http://www.answers.com/topic/albinism == Albinism results from the inheritance of recessive alleles. The condition is known to affect mammals (including humans), fish, birds, reptiles and amphibians. The principal gene which results in albinism prevents the body from making the usual amounts of the pigment melanin. Most forms of albinism are the result of the biological inheritance of genetically recessive genes that are passed on from both parents, although some rare forms are inherited from only one parent.
There has never been a confirmed case of melanism among cougars.
Melanism is an increased amount of black pigmentation. Melanism may be possible in humans but there has never been a case of it. It mainly affects animals such as the panther.
Albinism is a rare disorder found in fewer than five people per 100,000 in the United States and Europe. Other parts of the world have a much higher rate; for example, albinism is found in about 20 out of every 100,000 people in southern Nigeria.
No, albinism is a genetic mutation, not a generation-type of mutation, that also means a non-albino couple can have the chance of giving birth to an albino baby, it's a really random and rare mutation.
Albinism is rare among wild animals but quite common among some domesticated species. This is because in the wild, albino animals would not have a chance to survive and breed.
