    I would hope they aren’t black, because I really dont want races to exist any more in the future. Intermix until it is all an ambiguous milk in coffee color.

      Impossible. We’re much too individualistic not to make a rainbow out of our skin.

        I would suggest there might be more color variation in skin tones in a multiplanetary society due to different levels of solar radiation exposure protection evolving on different planets.

        That’s fine as well, as long as the base human is uniformly the same everywhere on earth.

        Do you guys really want future humans to still be stuck with racial concepts and divisions? Nation states too I suppose? Fuck that shit. We need to evolve beyond that, and in my opinion that includes modern day ideals of hyper individualism; though I would also argue that a common baseline skin and hair color doesnt mean people can’t differentiate themselves.

        We are dying hair, tanning skin, wearing varied clothing, applying makeup, and so forth even today.

          I want a future where every colour is beautiful. Uniformity is too bland and too susceptible to mass extinction events. Genetic diversity is what ensures our greater chances of survival, so while I welcome ending racism as a concept, i see our common baseline to be as fellow humans.

      For humans, sure, but for a mysterious alien species who are humanoid in appearance but differ significantly in terms of their biology, it may still be accurate that their skin pigment tends to be less homogenous across individuals.
