      If Africans (etc.) really do prefer light skin, then using genetic engineering/selection, eventually, there will be no people with dark skin. Africans would still be Africans genetically, though, since ancestry depends on thousands of variants, while skin tone just a few.https://twitter.com/NerdettePodcast/status/929160534938841093 …

      Lots of Asians, especially Koreans and Thais like to use whitening skin cream, so presumably they would select for lighter skin if they could. We will see some increase in skin cancer rates bc of this, but otherwise not really much of an issue.pic.twitter.com/FSezdmyCiT

      I dunno. The mortality rates for albinos in Africa is skyhigh, and it's not just due to being cannibalized for superstitious reasons. A move towards lighter skin serves no one there and is only a negative-sum game.

      I was thinking about the future, say, like Star Trek, where skin cancer is no longer an issue. Skin cancer rates for Euros in sunny places is pretty high, e.g. Australia and South Africa.

      Whenever betting whether X or 'a cheap effective cure for all cancers' will come first, bet on X... Embryo selection or editing for skin color will be even easier than for height or intelligence - easily measured, less polygenic, large cross-racial differences.

      Not all cancer, just skin cancer. Actually, some types are already at ~100% survival rate. It's the melanoma one that's difficult. I think we can get this one by better monitoring. Just do regular full body scans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanoma

          I.e. step into a booth that does a 3d complete body image. This will allow one to easily detect any changes over time using automatic image analysis. I don't know why we are not already doing this. Tech is ready.
