When did Europeans actually develop lighter skin? Ancient humans did not always look the way modern Europeans do today. In this video, we explore the fascinating story of human skin pigmentation, ancient DNA, migration, evolution, and the environmental pressures that shaped the appearance of European populations. We’ll look at what scientists have discovered about early Europeans, when lighter skin became more common, and why this transformation happened over thousands of years. The story reveals how human appearance changed as our ancestors moved into new environments and adapted to different levels of sunlight.
