There are many reasons that people have developed physical differences over time. People who live in hot climates naturally developed darker skin to absorb the sun's rays. People in cold climates often evolved to be stockier and shorter, because they conserve more heat and can deal better with the harsh conditions and lack of food. Even today, there are people whose communities are primarily fishing communities, living on islands and spending much of their time n the water. They have developed great lung capacity, and are able to swim deeper and for longer time than those of us who did not evolve alongside the water. It makes sense that, like all other life forms, humans adapt and evolve to fit their climate. All of our differences are just our different strengths, developed in their own independent way.
