The mormons believe dark skin to be the curse of Cain. They have the same idea regarding Native Americans (descendants of Lamenites.).
Course, The Book of Genesis says that the children of Adam and Eve went to live with other people in other cities. Who are they? And, where did they come from?
I believe its generations of being in a particular climate/part of the world. The melatonin adapts to the enviroment. Africa, mexico and other central coountries have dark skin because of the sun beating down on them. They grew darker and darker over time to counter the suns effects.
Asians, whites and other countries further from the equator were lighter. Eskimos are so bright you cant look at them.
Tower of Babel, i believe. God was mad at peeps for creating their own god, so he split them up into different nationalities.
