With Europe getting warmer due to climate change, how long do you think it would take to reativate the recessive genes that make for higher melanin production? (lemmygrad.ml)

Kind of a shitpost fyi, but since all humans initially had dark skin (more melanin) and only slowly got fairer skin (less melanin) in regions with less UV radiation in the northern hemisphere, would this also be reversable?

How long does it usually take to see these changes in mammals? Probably thousands of years right?

I mean it would kind of solve racism if we don't have a political system by then that treats all humans like humans.

Please don't take this post too seriously I just had this idea of a white supremacist having an identity crisis due to having more darker skinned children because of climate change haha (Insert some joke about Yakubian apes here)

Honestly i would have to look a research for the specific area in detail. Every area has so many different factors that come into play it becomes very hard to predict without a ton of research. China has probably done the research, but i wouldn't be sure where to look for it.

I've looked at temperature/climate/meteorological maps, and done alot of reading of scientific papers, and that's how I came to my conclusion.

Then you know more about it then i do. So I'd trust your judgement on it over my own. I only know about the larger regions in general not specific areas like that.
