This is really good-- a serious lecture on human skin color.

Sorry...I cannot embed the video.

Description:

Nina Jablonski says that differing skin colors are simply our bodies' adaptation to varied climates and levels of UV exposure. Charles Darwin disagreed with this theory, but she explains, that's because he did not have access to NASA.

Quote: "If only Darwin had NASA."

Edit: Warning. The speaker uses.... evolution. ::)
