Will We All Look the Same Someday? Like the blue people of Kentucky, one day, genetics might cause humans to blend into a single shade, something like Brazilians.

Interesting (as always JerryC41). Both the "blended" and "blue" people points were interesting. Note, my background is in Biology. Wow, we only thought "Blue Condition" was a song by Cream! LOL

Blue? The only thing that I saw that was blue is that T-shirt. Furthermore inbreeding can cause a lot more problems than skin color.

Since most of the population has oriental (Chinese-type) features, and the second most common has Indian- Asian features, it seems unlikely that a blend would look Brazilian.

Years ago 'Time' mag featured a photo(?) on the cover, and a cover story, how we would look in the year 2050.

That photo looked VERY 'melting pot' !!!

Yes we all die and rot away.

people seem to forget that we all started out 'African' and evolved to adapt.

with the world as it is today we are 'remixing' that evolution!!
