How did the first Black human being come to be born?

Answer 1

After God destroyed the ungodly world by means of a global flood in Noah's day, the earth's new population, including all the races known today, developed from the offspring of Noah's three sons and their wives.

From which of Noah's offspring did the blacks race descend? "The sons of Cush [another one of Ham's sons] were Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabteca." (Gen. 10:6, 7)

Answer 2

Adam, and later Noah, possessed genes for the diversity that we see today. Many of these genes remained recessive until God had them become dominant, in those times and circumstances which He saw fit. See also the Related Link.

Did God create us?

Answer 3

Scientists say that the first humans came from East Africa, and had black skin to protect themselves from the hot sun. They say that as our ancestors lost their body hair over a very long period of time, the fair skin under that hair risked sun damage and skin cancer, but the evolution of dark skin provided protection. Lighter skin re-evolved in Europe and Asia, where black skin was no longer an advantage.

Answer 4

All of man began in Africa and had black skin to protect themselves from the hot sun. As man moved north to follow the herds and spread out in search of foodstuffs they didn't need the darker skin tones in the cooler climates. It was no longer an advantage so lighter skin tones developed.

Answer 5

The first black human beings most likely evolved over time through natural selection, as populations of early hominids dispersed and adapted to different environments. Over thousands of years, genetic mutations and adaptations led to variations in skin pigmentation, with darker skin developing in populations living closer to the equator to protect against the sun's intense UV radiation.
