Is that true?
James, you need to watch these BBC documentaries. They did a series which showed a group of homo sapiens in Africa with dark skin who survived these conditions and moved across the world. These ancestors of ours eventually took over the Neanderthals in Europe and another group in Asia and the rest of the planet. Pretty amazing really.
