Every part of a white persons body is white, yes? Every part of a black persons body is black, apart from the palms of their hands and the bottom of their feet. Why is that?

the pigmentation melanin is to prevent skin damage from the sun, to produce it for regions not exposed to sunlight would be inefficient and evolution would weed it out

incidentally, the reason white people are white is not just the cost of producing melanin for no reason, white skinned people produce more vitamin D in polar climates per ray of sun

pink is the default colour (blood is red and skin white)

the dark bits of dark people are from melanin

oh and blood is red for the same reason as rust, it contains iron

**** me, had a bit of a search on Google to find out why. One of the answers I found was this:

They wear away the colour on their hands because they're always stealing and they wear away the pigment on the soles of their feet because they are always running away from the cops!!

it's an urban myth that dust comes predominantly from human skin

Mainly the degradation of the make up of the building i.e. the plaster etc. Also even if it was boarded up it wouldn’t be completely air tight.

so how does it accumulate in an empty place with all its doors and windows shut
