Melanin = $13,000 per ounce, the average black person has about 40 million dollars worth of melanin


River Road Research Awarded A Patent For Melanin Production
Process will enhance production of melanin for a wide range of business applications as well as reduce environmental impacts of food waste

Quote:Produced with conventional technology, melanin is often priced at $350 per gram.

(as of Dec 2021 the price was $460.53)







So the real question is wouldn't having zero melanin actually be a deficiency, and therefore be a devolution?

There were black people north of the Sahara too, people seem to forget that black people cover a wide spectrum of skin tones. There is an island near India where black Africans migrated to 60,000 years ago, yet people think no black people were in North Africa.



In 2006 skin cancer was the number one cause of death in Israel, their skin cancer rate was second only to Australia (another non-indigenous group), yet Egyptian were walking around like this.


The lighter skinned Arabs have always covered up.

Any chance we can convert your melanin into cold, hard cash?

The average black person has 192 lbs of melanin in him/her?

🤔


you may be full of 192 lbs of something, but it ain’t melanin.

It’s weird that Huggy went out of his way to complain about this thread being racist when, as far as I can tell, he’s the only person in this thread besides the long-banned OP who’s actually arguing that one race of people is “more evolved” than another. Hell, IIRC, most of us reject the premise that “more evolved” is even a meaningful phrase in a scientific concept.

Is it that weird though?

@Rev. Rye

I'm simply providing a counter to the original question. If evolution means a species changes over time and those changes are beneficial to it's survival, what do we call changes that are detrimental to survival?

That's the calculations of a few different websites,  I don't think it's possible to measure how much melanin a person has, so they just calculation the body weight. 

Either way, we're still talking about alot of money.

really?   there is no better way to estimate a person’s melanin content than just use his body weight?    you can’t at least deduct the weight of parts that have very little melanin content?  for example bones, or brain?

Or does your bones, or more importantly brain, weigh nothing?

Well, if the human body is 60% water, even if everything else in the body was melanin that individual would have to weigh 480 pounds in order to account for 192 pounds of melanin.

192 grams of melanin sounds much more plausible.

All you do is lie and back peddle.

No one is having a serious discussion with you, ever.
