Why are there some light-skinned races of humans and some very dark-skinned?

Does race have to do with the color of your skin?

Contrary to popular belief, no. Skin colour is simply an adaptation to climate. People in hot climates tend to be dark skinned, while people in colder climates tend to be light skinned. People of all races can be coloured differently. For example, Caucasians can be very light skinned (ex. Western Europeans) or very dark skinned (ex. Indians). The only difference between races is the skeletal structures. Technically, the only race is the human race.

Are light skin girl prettier than brown or dark skin girls?

A lot of people tend to depict light skinned girls as being more "attractive." Take for example... Beyonce, Mya, Keisha Chante, Keri Hilson, Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys..etc. But I don't really think that one race can outshine the other. There are light skinned AND dark skinned girls who are beautiful. We all have flaws within ourselves. I'm lightskinned, but even still I take offense when all you see in the media or magazines are light skinned girls. I have dark skinned friends, and my older sister is dark skinned or brown skinned. Each and every shade is beautiful, no matter how light, and no matter how dark.
