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?

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

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.
