Why are the Caucasian race have many different hair color and eyes color. Are we the unique race on earth?

I am not racist ok. But why do Asian and African people have the same hair and eye color?Why are the Caucasian race have many different hair color and eyes color. Are we the unique race on earth?
When you ask questions like this, try to correct your grammar.



There are four groups lumped together as Caucasian: Nordic, Alpine, Mediterranean and Caucasoid. In general, only Nordics have light hair and eyes. These characteristics are aspects of what is known as ';specialization';. Specialization is an outgrowth or development from a basic form.

It is a difficult question to answer. Proto-Nordics emerged from a relatively warm and sunny area close to the Caspian Sea. Therefore a natural selection argument regarding a selective need for more vitamin D from the midnight sun or protection from snow and ice has little merit.

Today's politically correct Physical Anthropologists would be loath to even consider your question. If pressed, they would probably fall back on the selection argument that I just discounted.

Regarding your apology, I can say that most of my friends ';of color'; love to ask questions like this. I wish there was more freedom of speech in this country. Some people seem to be more free than others. ';Be afraid, be very afraid.';Why are the Caucasian race have many different hair color and eyes color. Are we the unique race on earth?
Evolution and genetics.



There are several different factors to the resemblance of humans and the variety of different appearances. However, saying Asians and African people are the only ones with the same hair colour and eye colour is just too closed minded and illogical in my opinion.



You see, people have genes. There are also things called gene mutations, and chromosome mutations. Genes are passed down from generation to generation. But, what I'm saying is very off topic, and not very logical in this sort of conversation. That's what I'm trying to get at.



Why compare only Asian and African people? They are definitely not the same in hair and eye colour. There's always a different shade in colour of hair and eye colour. Some corneas are jet-black, and some a brown. Some are beige, and some are a half-dark brown.



So, I conclude that they do not have the same colour of hair and eyes. No one has the same colour in anything, (except for maybe parents or offspring).
My wild guess is that Asians live in hot climates but not as close to the equator so their skin is not as dark as the Africans who do live close to the equator where the sun is very intense. Asians have less pigment in their skin and the Africans have more. Their hair is different texture more curly while the Asians hair is more straight and coarse. Their eyes are the same color but the shape of Asians are more almond while the Africans are more rounded.

I forgot about my group the Caucasians all I know is that the people who lived in the northern climate seem to have lighter skin due to staying under cover from the winter weather that lasted for many months so they were not in the sun as much as the others, just a guess. I hope I don't get graded on this will my husband have to sign my report card..LOL

It is indeed unique to have different hair and eye colors, but as time goes on and races are mixing more and more. you see people in many races carrying traits that whites may have always been known for. Blacks with blue, green, hazel eyes. Blacks with blond, red hair, light skin, brown, yellow. Asians with different eye colors. I personally believe that races have adapted to their environment and so carry certain features. But I believe that some races are closer in makeup to our early ancestors that all of mankind came from and then some evolved from those races. i believe that the Caucasion race is the most recent of the descendents of those that we all came from and that Asians and Africans are from closer in makeup from our early ancestors. This is why they are known to not have as many variations as whites have as far as skin, hair and eye color.
Actually, brown hair and brown eyes are dominant genes.



It takes a lot for anyone with light hair and light eyes, to procreate a baby with those light genes.



Especially since dark hair, or dark eyes are dominant.



Caucasions, being white with blue or green eyes, and light hair, are a minorty now. That is ok, it's ok that being red haired or blonde and blue eyed is a minority now! That's great! It just means the society is more embracing of other cultures.



A blond, green eyed, with a red hair brother, and more.

the white race is a combo of so many different cultures.

there for i would not say that we are unique. more like we are very inter mixed. inter racial mixing like black %26amp; white, or asian and mexican or whatever is a newer thing. so those races are still more synchronized. plus caucasian genes like blue or brown eyes or hair color can skip generations...when the gene is dominate or recessive it can appear later on...

im not sure if that is the case in other races, this is a very interesting point though.
caucasian isn't necessarily a race. i'm half mexican and half white and i have tan skin, dark brown hair and eyes.

caucasions are made up of sooo many things such as Irish, German, Swiss, Italian, or w/e. depending how long ago your ancestors came to america.

ppl just breed with whatever race so it makes different looking ppl.
hey I've seen some black ppl with naturally gray/grey, hazel brown/green or dark brown eyes

hair color is something different...I know one black girl who has light brown hair with blonde in it....and it was her natural hair b/c her grandmother's hair is like that. something like hair color is VERY rare though I guess it has to do with genetics



i have wondered that too.....White ppl are a interesting race of ppl. But every race has something unique about them
Actually they don't have the most hair or eye colors. Blonde hair is found in many parts of Asia and there are islander tribes with blonde hair. Brown is even more common with a good number of blacks and asians having that. Red hair occurs among occaisonally among africans(though it's VERY rare).



As for eye colors I've seen all eye colors in all races. Many africans have green eyes and sometimes even blue eyes.
Human physical characteristics have to do with geographical origins. There is far too much to explain, but there is a reason why black people have the texture of hair they have and asians have the type of eyes they have, etc. It's how human's have physically evolved to adapt to their environment.
These people are all Asians:

Note: different hair colors, complexions, facial structures...
no. i would say blacks are as they come in different shades (without being mixed). their hair is most unique, as are their lips, and fabulous bodies.



light features come from recessive genes. blue eyes etc are a loss of pigment and usually lose out to the brown eye gene because i guess, pigment is good for humans!
If you learned one thing from asking this question (and those like it), it would have to be that censorship rules in America. Keep this in mind the next time they say they want to have an ';honest'; dialog about race. It's pathetic. As an American, I'm ashamed to be associated with these turds. If only we could get our act together like those fine gentlemen in Africa. How DO they do it??
Because most Asians and Africans aren't hybrids of any other culture. American isn't a race. Native american is a race. How many of them are pure native americans anyway? A flopping 3% of the population maybe.
This is true. White people do have various combination possibilities because they carry recessive genes. Asians and Latinos and Blacks all have dominant genes (brown and black).
wow, that was quick, my answer must have hit a nerve. I told you I was psychic. oh no I offended someone. you people make me sick. Some of you are so dumb you confuse American with caucasian.
you can call yourself the unique race if that makes you feel better about yourself
The same reason you have horrible grammar and linguistic skills.
Some blacks have brown hair too. And we come in many different skin tones and facial features.
This question sounds racist.
You should get out more, or simply do research online, you would be surprised at what you discover.
