Why do Ethiopians have paler skin than most Africans?
Rollin Wiegand
This is a very simple question. Back in the day of the Aksumite Empire, Both Yemen and Southern parts of Saudi Arabia were a part of the Aksumite Empire. When these two races, dark black Aksumites and Pale Arabians mixed, the tannish color of the Ethiopian people formed. I know this because I am Ethiopian and I know a few of my Yemeni ancestors, in fact, I am related to a Yemeni king of the wollo region of Ethiopia, two of them! One is named The Great Ras Ali. The second one is named The Great Ras Ali the second. Anywho, that is how the Ethiopian population developed their tannish skin that is relatively really light compared to our African cousins.

Why do people in Africa have brown skin?
Africans are darker in complexion because they are from a part of the world that is hot and has long days (long days compared to polar regions and far north or south regions) Their skin has tinted in an effort to protect them from sunlight. Genetics determine the color of one's skin. The biological reason is that Africans have more melanin in their skin.
Why are aborigines black?
First of all, your question seems to be presuppose that humanity in its "normal" state has some non-black skin color and that blackness is a deviation from the norm, demanding an explanation. However, Aboriginals have dark skin for the same reason Europeans have light skin, North Africans have medium skin, and Sub-Saharan Africans have dark skin: adaptation to to climate. Natural selection has tended to favor dark-skinned individuals in tropical regions. Obviously southern Australia is far from the Tropics, but this, one can guess, indicates that Aboriginals "became" black at some point in their history whilst living in a hot sunny climate in Australia or elsewhere (i.e. Africa). Some people think they somehow came from Africa and most of the natives peoples in Africa are black, so that could be a contributing factor.
What factor led to the enslavement of Africans?
The Europeans first used Native Americans as slaves but found that they were too weak and had a weak defense system towards the Europeans diseases. Africans had been exposed the European diseases and has built up some immunity. Also many Africans had experrience in farming and could be taught plantation work. Third, Africans would not trya nd escape since they knew nothing of the new land. And finally there skin color made it easy for them to get caught if they were to escape and try to live among society.

How do you make your face paler?
Alright. You want to make your face paler? It's pretty simple. 1.) Try to stay out of the sun. As we all know, being in the sun causes your skin to tan. 2.) Wear sunblock when you go out in public. Better yet, I put on cosmetic cover-up, and it shields my skin from the sun while making you look slightly paler. 3.) Since I mentioned it before--cosmetic cover-up. Get a shade that's lighter than your own, too. 4.) Skin whitening cream. Other than that, you just have to do that and wait awhile. You'll get progressivley paler. Hope it helped. xx
