Approximately 20 million slaves were forced out of Africa, however only 9-12 million made it alive to be forced into the institution of slavery.
The majority of the slaves were sent to Brazil, followed by the Caribbean.
Contrary to popular belief, the most slaves were not sent to North America.

How did light skin people come about?
Light skin is believed to have evolved in populations living in regions with less intense sunlight to help absorb more sunlight for vitamin D production.

Over time, genetic mutations leading to lighter skin tones became more prevalent in these populations.
