Do you think that maybe evolutionary texts show skin color getting lighter because monkeys have brown/black skin and humans generally do not?
I'm also guessing that most scientific work on the subject was written by Europeans who would make their illustrations look like them. There's not a lot of groundbreaking evolutionary theory coming out of sub-Saharan African scholars.
I really wish I could find a copy because it was hilarious but I remember seeing a Japanese TV show once where they explained evolution and Out of Africa with a cute animation of black people leaving Africa with an arrow showing their migration to Europe where they "evolved" into white people, then another arrow from there went east where they evolved into their final form, the Japanese.

But is it even their final form?
No, then the Japanese ascended into anime waifus, probably.
"Even the men?"
"Especially the men!"
