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.
That's... pretty much what happened. I like to think of it as the first instance of "white flight." One group of African proto-humans were smarter and less violent than the others and moved to the frozen wastes of prehistoric Europe in order to get away from them.
As I understand it, going by Haplogroups, We ascended out of Africa, then followed the coast-line eastwards (rising sun) blocked from going north by the glaciers, going to Asia, then dividing into North Asia and Oceania, then north Asia to again divide into North America (going South America) and Russia. Then Europe.
