Are the darker skinned people of the world majority in terms of population?

[toopyimport]

It depends on what you consider dark skinned or light skinned.

white/yellow vs. brown/black? white vs. everybody else? black vs. everybody else?

Are the darker skinned people of the world majority in terms of population?

yes..
The fairer skinned types are relatively rare seen cause they mainly exist in Germany Denmark Sweden Iceland Great Brittain Belgium Scottland Ireland Norway (with some Exceptions) and some of them in France except those with med dna.
At all light skinned people are the minority..
Africa and all the other yellow Countries in the East are the Majority.

[NanoGordeno]

Clearly real Northwest European whites are not a majority. I don't think they ever have been on a global level.

Nobody actually considers East Asians the same white as Northwest Europeans but that they represent another realm of white so to speak in their own right racially. So yes if you consider yellow another face of white then no black skinned people are not the majority. If you don't then absolutely black or dark skinned people are the majority.

Basically most of africa, except maybe some parts of north africa, arabia, most of south asia and south east asia. I dont consider yellow race dark

[Ygxejxox]

By darker skin do you mean black or what?

Because if you do i have to ask why are East Asians included in the "darkzone".

Some of them are no darker than Mediterraneans.



Unless this is about hair/eye color

Looking the population of India, Nigeria and Pakistan? Obviously so. In the grand scheme darker skin is more favorable than recessive lighter skin however, from a purely biological perspective and so it has benefits.

I was talking to this person and they surprised me when I realized how big africas population is..

I thought they were these poor small villages in need, but in reality they are maybe having more kids than they can afford to take care of with a population of 1 Billion.

Which scared me to think that that is the case if you compare it to the population of South America which is 300 Million.

I always thought Latinos had the most kids, under Asians, but it looks like I was wrong.

any dark skin colour

[DoctorWeryDolt]

well are Syrians and Spaniards and Japanese considered dark or not?

I don't really consider them dark.

[Bvghbopz]

My grandma wasn't "brack" as she would say. Definitely yellow though. There are a variety of skin tones in East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, West Asia, Latin America... so diverse I'm not sure how to divide it by region or nation on a light vs dark basis.

[putza]

no they are not, they actually have to look dark to be considered dark

[BoBoMasterDesign]

The calculation is simple here.

Population Europe
731 million
population Africa
1 Billion
Population India
1 Billion
Population USA
300 Million
Population Canada
34 Million
Population Indonesia
237 Million
Population Bangladesh
142 Million

There are 24 million Christians in india
but they are only 2% of the population.

[gkihueonhjh]

actually this is good map to show what i am talking about, basically any of the light brown to dark brown regions would be considered dark:

^ ofcourse for Australia its only talking about Aborignals there, not the white folks

[gSjQEEmq]

I consider "light" countries as in "white" to be most of Europe and Northeast Asia and colonized Euro colonies with a majority Euro population.

[quottrethew]

There would have to be an example of what dark means to the OP so people know what they're basing their answers on.

[Blacksheepaalredy]

that chart is skipping the huge black population of Brazil

[asivisepo]

Yeah and it seems to whitewash Native Americans while representing Australia as fully indigenous?

[downtowndude]

Yeah and it seems to whitewash Native Americans while representing Australia as fully indigenous?

I think the map is based before 500 years ago, before european colonization

[Doctor-CTAC]

Right. Thats what Australia would indicate. However, unmixed Native Americans were darker than what is represented there I think, and their darker skin tone not concentrated in the desert southwest. You live in Canada, right? How would you judge darker Natives you have seen there? I've seen some pretty dark northern plains and west coast Natives in the USA and thats with a lot of Euro mix.
