Reconstruction of Ancient British people

Why do people mostly focus on Europeans and how they havelighter skin tones.
Don’t the East Asians also have relatively lighter skintones too. What is their allele frequencyfor lighter skin, is it the same as Europeans? Maybe, God forbid we don’t yetknow everything about what causes light or darker skin tones.

Well it's Eu(rope)pedia, Europeans interested mainly into European stuffs 'n' things. So sounds very normal if you are thinking about it. About a general perspective i'm not really sure about East Asians, but the thing is. If you take the overall East Asians people ( Mongoloids ), Light Skins seems to be founder effects in regional peoples, Hans ethnic from China for exemple have a lot of Light Skinned peoples, but not all Chinese ethnics are equals into it. Also some Japanese or Koreans are Light Skinned, while others are more darker. For exemple, Pheomelanin, wich gives the Gold/Red pigmentation like Red Hairs and Freckles, are found in Europeans, but also Native Americans ( easily seen in reddish cheeks ) and East Asians. The SLC24A5 gene that plays role into the Light Skin of Europeans is " Fixed " among us, wich means, virtually all Europeans have it compare of the rest of the world.
