I don't think "we" have any idea of their skin color. It is likely that if they lived that far north, they would mostly have been white skinned.

Not so.

@calicuz how do you know the color of those humans who crossed the Bering sea?

@samueltyler2

I know, because they are my ancestors. All of us, the indigenous people of the Americas, Canada and Greenland crossed the great ice bridge ten thousand years ago. Our tribes still remain back in what is now called Northern Russia.

@calicuz Yes, you may be descendants, but things have evolved over thousands of years.

@samueltyler2

Yet we all remain?
Exactly from where we started, and where we have ended up?

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@calicuz many things have changed over those thousands of years and maybe evolution has changed some things. We may never know.

@samueltyler2

True, but our Brown skin color hasn't changed.

@calicuz this has raised interesting questions and I am searching more information. This link is a very interesting discussion:

@calicuz I never really gave it much though before.
