Human evolution was never that separate. People have traveled back and
forth across the "gene pool" for thousands of years.
****
How about those who ventured across the alps (on foot, not in BMW's), 10,000
years ago. They went into adverse climates and were then under greater
evolutionary pressure than those who stayed in lush african valleys.

Not necessarily. It's been posted here and elsewhere, time and time again,
that you are genetically closer to some blacks than to some whites.

That is not pertenant. And it is also doubtfull.

According to most in the scientific community, the genes that cause these
"melanin differences" are an extremely small portion of the total number
of genes.

So what?
IF two groups can have different "melanin genes", then can't they have
different "N genes" as well?
