Ok, I think this thread is getting way off topic now about the etymology of the word Adam. If we want to discuss genetics or theology, I think it's best that's done in a separate thread.
Maleth, I'm not arguing against genetics, human origins etc... Not to mention the biblical chronology is only a 7,500 time frame, so arguing about who lived in these areas anytime past that is out of the context of what I'm talking about. The origin of Humans is still not set in stone. I think that's why the study of Haplogroups is exciting. The most widely adopted theory is we all came out of Africa. Clearly in history the mutation for fair skin happened and those that carried the mutation preferred to produce children with this same mutation. This is clearly obvious due to the fact there are hundreds of millions of people in the world today with this characteristic. I think it's Possible this mutation took place either in the Ural Mountains where I believe IJK split, sometime after that split or before this split. No idea. Maybe someone more versed on this matter has insight.
To your point about Caucasians disposition to skin cancer
Quote from skincancer.org
“Anyone can get skin cancer, regardless of race,” she says. While incidence of melanoma is higher in the Caucasian population, a July 2016 study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology showed it is more deadly in people of color. African American patients were most likely to be diagnosed with melanoma in its later stages than any other group in the study, and they also had the worst prognosis and the lowest overall survival rate."
Now, let's get off the topic of Skin Cancer.
maleth, The Biblical Adam and the Out of Africa Adam are two completely different things. Adam in the Bible is a story about the creation of a group of peoples ancestors some 7000+ years ago. At least according to the chronology.
EDIT BY MODERATION: This thread was extracted from the topic Where did the Anatolian branch of Indo-European originate? on a discussion about the assumed relationship between Indo-Europeans, ancient West Asian populations and a phenotype marked by pale skin and red/ginger hair.
Adam was Rudy after all. At least that's what his name means in Hebrew.
Well, some upcoming ancient DNA from Iron Age Syria/Lebanon does indicate EHG type of admixture moving into the Levant that was not previously there in the Bronze or Neolithic periods. That could have introduced lighter colourings that exist in a minority of the population.
But, no offense, J2a1 males were unlikely to have pale complexion or light hair, just sayin'.
Based on what?

the highest % of j2a1 in the world is from this region:
Light complexion and mix of hair and eye color.
