The Illusion of Race

              Due to the discovery of artifacts, scientist have determined that most of the people today have originated from Africa. They then spread themselves across the world. Researchers have also hypothesized that at one time, everyone was the same race and the vitamin D intake created the different pigmentations of skin color. People of the darker skin were out in the sun for longer amounts of time, and also ate what they hunted. The things that they ate had high vitamin D levels, and it then added to their traits to become a darker color. People of lighter color didn't have as much vitamin  D intake, and thus were lighter. The shift in agriculture led to the different skin colors.
