ThisSiteHasLostItsCharm Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I wast thinking, what if all the cultures on the planet originated on other worlds which were about to be wiped out and an alien civilisation saved them all, transported them all to this planet and this is why we are all so different? or it's just evolution + climate change + other factors = unique culture of X country hmmmm?

Actually, I think it's (uv) light rather than heat. But yes. ThisSiteHasLostItsCharm 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThisSiteHasLostItsCharm Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 it's still weird how some countries the people all look very similar to each other, i.e. China, Japan and a few other Asian countries, yet other countries facial features are more unique looking, as in not so similar for each person. is that evolution or something else? maybe because they didn't mix much with other countries people?

Crisp Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 And animals? They're different further more. Just accept the way GOD made you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim K Global Moderator Posted August 3, 2017 Global Moderator Share Posted August 3, 2017 Genetic diversity and isolated geographic variations over 100k years, etc. Why different ethnicities "look" different can be reasonably explained by their origins (other planets and aliens not being one of them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean similar looking to you, that is a fault within you, and not them. We call it ignorance, or bigotry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar features are more prominent because they're attractive or useful in the given geographical area they're in, or simply happen due to lots of breeding. It's fine to point out similarities, but not in a negative way. Which he wasn't doing. The Evil Overlord and Dick Montage 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ask someone from one of those regions, they'd likely say the same - people from their area are easier for them to distinguish than people from the other side of the world. It's just down to what you're familiar with, you learn to tell the difference better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's seen in animals such as dolphins and monkeys too; Animals can tell each other apart, where humans see them all as the same.
