Regarding skin pigmentation, that looks to have been aided by nutrition to respond to sun exposure in subtle ways. Some humans needed lots of pigment for sun protection, but others developed coloration for their different needs, such as Asian "yellow" and Native American "red."
I assume that the "Martian influx" brought about the Cro-Magnons, which nowadays get a new naming:
Quote:Recent research over the past 20 years or so, however, has led scholars to believe that the physical dimensions of so-called 'Cro-Magnon' are not sufficiently different enough from modern humans to warrant a separate designation. Scientists today use 'Anatomically Modern Human' (AMH) or 'Early Modern Human' (EMH) to designate the Upper Paleolithic human beings who looked a lot like us, but did not have the complete suite of modern human behaviors.
By modern human behaviors, they mean being able to have feelings and speech and writing?
