Why is it that all the temperate and cold regions of the world are inhabited by Whites or East Asians while until recently Black and Brown peoples were mostly confined to the hotter tropical and subtropical regions?
Is there an historical reason that can account for this phenomena?
geographic seperation and ecogeographic selection partitioning humanity into breeds. It is not mere color that diverges, but overall morphology, humans in the tropics have more surface to mass for heat transfer and vice versa for the temperate and glacial populations.
Yeah it's called the sun.
>the sun explains white people living in Australia
My question was a little deeper than that
(white) aussies are the most prone to melanoma of all global whites, you have to consider their indigenous stock, not the settlers.
But my question was about the settlers, not about skin colors.
Ethnic Europeans are only the majority in cold and temperate antipodal regions.
Why?
Because dark skin protects against ultraviolet radiation.
Where the sun is less intense people have lighter skin so they can absorb more of that radiation to produce vitamin D.
This isn't a history question and you could have just googled it.
Read the post above you retard
Europe and Central East Asia are not cold.
East Asians have a skin tone nearly identical to Europeans.
Race isn't based on skin colour, otherwise Indians would be negroids.
Colonialism.
European colonies were divided into two types:
Settler colonies and Plantation colonies.
In the settler colonies (Canada, USA, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand), natives were cleared out, forced into reservations, relocated or straight up murdered. These colonies were in temperate, prime farming regions where growing up major crops (wheat, corn, sheep, beef, barley, etc) was easy. Massive European immigration followed, to settle and farm the land.
In plantation colonies (Indonesia, Haiti, Ivory Coast, Jamaica, etc), the climate was too hot to support normal farming, but conditions were favorable for more labor intensive cash-crops (tobacco, cocoa, sugarcane, cotton, etc). In these colonies natives were either kept alive and forced into servitude to work at the plantations, or exterminated and replaced with slaves who did all the work. Whites immigrated but in smaller numbers.
Three exceptions stand out, which had elements of the two colony types mixed:
Brazil (Settler economy in the South, plantation economy in the north)
USA (Mostly a settler economy with elements of plantation economy in the South)
South Africa (Settler economy under the Afrikaners, became a plantation economy after the British took over in the Anglo-Boer Wars)

>Ethnic Europeans are only the majority in cold and temperate antipodal regions.
you just answered your own question
>East Asians have a skin tone nearly identical to Europeans.
No they don't.
What the fuck?
>Live under different conditions for tens of thousands of generations
>Some divergences appear
Pure coincidence.
South Africa was settler although it's colony years
>white
>brown
>races

No, the British brought over Pajeets for cheap labor and kept the blacks alive for labor as well. That's more consistent with a plantation economy.
If anything it was a mixture of both types.
settler colonies can be plantation ones but plantation colonies can't be settler (the minute it does become one it switches to the other because structural changes needed to become settler friendly are enacted which set it apart from a plantation one).
Europeans died in droves from tropical diseases, they could not grow the crops and their society did not want to adapt to the tropics and subtropics.
They were like the Vikings resistant to cultural changes that could have them survive and even thrive because it was considered beneath them.
We have examples of fur trappers and those who "went bush" but they were the fringe. Ultimately European society sought to perpetuate itself with as little modification possible and that can only happen in temperate places where they could easily kill off locals with disease and firearms.

>why are the areas inhabited by these certain people inhabited by these certain people
Other than that obviously Europeans would choose to inhabit the climates they are used to which are places where it is easy to grow crops
It's not though read again.
