The Human Skin and Racial Color Theories
A New York Times summary notes Professor Lionel Lytle's theory that climate shaped human skin color from a brownish yellow origin. It attributes white, black, brown, and yellow variants to migrations and environmental factors, with light and humidity driving whitening and desiccating grasslands producing yellow tones. The piece contrasts old race theories, cites climate as the key driver, and mentions Africa and Asia as regions of interest.
