                              What 'Caucasian' means

Why do people in the US and UK (unlike in most of Europe) refer to European people as Caucasian?

The term "Caucasian" was introduced by the German anthropologist Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, who was busy measuring skulls in Georgia in the 19th century, and for no good reason decided that the Caucasus was the birthplace of mankind. He made division of Aryan, Semitic (Jews) and Hamitic (north Africans), just as it was written in Genesis.

We Europeans did not, of course, wish to be seen as having racial connections with Jews or Africans, and German Nazi extermination policies gave the term "Aryan" a bad name.

Blumenbach's theories have long been discounted in modern anthropology, yet his term lives on. This classification of white non-Jewish European was adopted by US immigration control, who needed to keep a check on the races coming in that were not black, brown or Jewish. "Caucasian" is just an illogical yet convenient category, and so it lives on, whenever we have to fill in an identity form: even if it is just an online dating site.

David Bye, Göd, Hungary

Whites tan to get brown, but naturally brown people stay out of the sun if they can in order to get whiter. Now "white" is a term of abuse, and "Caucasian" is a more innocuous way to describe us.

The paradigm of the “typically Jewish” nose originates in the craniological studies of Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1752–1840). Blumenbach claimed to have evidence that Jews had an especially prominent nasal bone. Der Giftpilz (The Poisonous Mushroom), a Nazi schoolbook published by the Stürmer Verlag in 1938, provides an example of how such anti-Semitic clichés about body shapes were spread. It was printed in a first edition of 60,000 copies.

Blumenbach assumed that all morphological differences between the varieties were induced by the climate and the way of living and he emphasized that the differences in morphology were so small, gradual and transiently connected that it was not possible to separate these varieties clearly. 

Although Blumenbach did not propose any hierarchy among the five varieties, he placed the Caucasian form in the center of his description as being the most "primitive" or "primeval" one from which the other forms "degenerated".

 In the 18th century, however, these terms did not have the negative connotations they possess today. 

At the time, "primitive" or "primeval" described the ancestral form, while "degeneration" was understood to be the process of change leading to a variety adapted to a new environment by being exposed to a different climate and diet.

 Hence, he argued that physical characteristics like skin color, cranial profile, etc., depended on geography, diet, and mannerism. Further anatomical study led him to the conclusion that 'individual Africans differ as much, or even more, from other Africans as from Europeans'.

Like other monogenists such as Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon, Blumenbach held to the "degenerative hypothesis" of racial origins. 

Blumenbach claimed that Adam and Eve were Caucasian inhabitants of Asia, and that other races came about by degeneration from environmental factors such as the sun and poor diet.

Thus, he claimed, Negroid pigmentation arose because of the result of the heat of the tropical sun, while the cold wind caused the tawny colour of the Eskimos, and the Chinese were fair-skinned compared to the other Asian stocks because they kept mostly in towns protected from environmental factors. 

He believed that the degeneration could be reversed in a proper environmental control and that all contemporary forms of man could revert to the original Caucasian race.

Blumenbach was regarded as a leading light of German science by his contemporaries. Kant and Friedrich Schelling both called him "one of the most profound biological theorists of the modern era.

 In the words of science historian Peter Watson, "roughly half the German biologists during the early nineteenth century studied under him or were inspired by him:

What You Need to Know About Skin Care After Sun Exposure

Sun exposure can have both positive and negative effects on your skin. On one hand, it can provide vitamin D, boost your mood, and enhance your appearance. On the other hand, it can also cause sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer. Therefore, it is important to know how to protect your skin from the sun and how to take care of it after sun exposure.

How to Protect Your Skin from the Sun

The best way to protect your skin from the sun is to avoid excessive sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun's rays are the strongest. However, if you have to go outside during these hours, you should follow these tips:

- Wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and broad-spectrum protection, which can block both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays can penetrate deeper into the skin and cause wrinkles, sagging, and dark spots. UVB rays can damage the surface of the skin and cause sunburn and skin cancer. You should apply sunscreen 15 to 30 minutes before going outside and reapply every two hours or after sweating or swimming.

- Wear protective clothing, such as long-sleeved shirts, pants, hats, and sunglasses. You can also look for clothes with UPF (ultraviolet protection factor), which can indicate how much UV radiation can pass through the fabric. The higher the UPF, the better the protection. For example, a shirt with UPF 50 can block 98% of UV rays.

- Seek shade whenever possible, such as under trees, umbrellas, or awnings. However, keep in mind that shade does not provide complete protection, as UV rays can still reflect from the ground, water, or sand. Therefore, you should still wear sunscreen and clothing even if you are in the shade.

- Avoid artificial tanning, such as tanning beds, lamps, or booths. These devices can emit UV rays that are even more intense than the sun and can increase your risk of skin cancer and aging. If you want to have a tan, you can opt for safer alternatives, such as self-tanning products or spray tans.

How to Take Care of Your Skin After Sun Exposure

Even if you follow the above tips, you may still experience some degree of sun damage after being outside. This is because the sun can affect your skin in various ways, such as:

- Dehydrating your skin, which can make it dry, flaky, and tight. This can also impair your skin's barrier function, which can make it more vulnerable to infections and irritants.

- Inflaming your skin, which can cause redness, swelling, pain, and itching. This can also trigger the production of free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can damage your skin cells and DNA.

- Pigmenting your skin, which can cause tanning, freckles, or dark spots. This is a result of your skin producing more melanin, which is a pigment that can protect your skin from further sun damage. However, too much melanin can also cause uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation.

- Aging your skin, which can cause wrinkles, sagging, and loss of elasticity. This is a result of your skin breaking down collagen and elastin, which are the proteins that give your skin its structure and firmness.

To minimize these effects and help your skin recover after sun exposure, you should follow these tips:

- Wash your skin gently with a mild cleanser and lukewarm water. This can help remove any dirt, sweat, or sunscreen residue from your skin and prevent clogged pores and breakouts. Avoid using harsh soaps, scrubs, or hot water, as they can irritate your skin and strip away its natural oils.

- Moisturize your skin generously with a hydrating lotion or cream. This can help replenish the moisture that your skin lost from the sun and restore its barrier function. Look for moisturizers that contain soothing and healing ingredients, such as aloe vera, chamomile, oatmeal, or green tea. Avoid moisturizers that contain alcohol, fragrance, or retinoids, as they can dry out or sensitize your skin.

- Cool your skin with a cold compress, ice pack, or damp cloth. This can help reduce the inflammation, pain, and itching that your skin may experience after sun exposure. You can also use products that contain cooling and anti-inflammatory ingredients, such as menthol, cucumber, or calamine. Avoid applying ice directly to your skin, as it can cause frostbite or damage your blood vessels.

- Treat your skin with products that can repair the sun damage and prevent further harm. For example, you can use products that contain antioxidants, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, or niacinamide, which can neutralize the free radicals and brighten your skin tone. You can also use products that contain ingredients that can stimulate collagen and elastin production, such as peptides, growth factors, or retinol. However, be careful with using products that can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, such as alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids, or benzoyl peroxide. You should use them at night and always wear sunscreen during the day.

- Hydrate your body internally by drinking plenty of water and fluids. This can help replenish the water that your body lost from sweating and prevent dehydration, which can affect your skin and overall health. You can also eat foods that are rich in water, such as fruits, vegetables, soups, or smoothies. Avoid drinking alcohol, caffeine, or sugary drinks, as they can dehydrate your body and worsen your skin condition.

Conclusion

Sun exposure can have both positive and negative effects on your skin, depending on how much and how often you expose yourself to it. To protect your skin from the sun and take care of it after sun exposure, you should follow the tips mentioned above and consult your dermatologist if you have any concerns or questions. By doing so, you can enjoy the benefits of the sun while minimizing its risks and keeping your skin healthy and beautiful.

Animal Crossing Fish - Explained #226

Brought to you by a marine biologist getting back on her feet...

CLICK HERE FOR THE AC FISH EXPLAINED MASTERPOST!

I know I've been gone for a while - it's not because of the new Pokemon game, although it helped. I'm back to finish up what I started. So, today, let's start with a blank slate - the white versions of the guppy, the freshwater angelfish, and the koi. [Long post warning because pictures!!!]

Specifically, these fish are the White Tuxedo Guppy, the White Butterfly Koi, and the White Angelfish. All three appeared once in AC Pocket Camp for its Fishing Tourney #27. The theme was "weddings" and occurred in June of 2020, so explains why they're all white.

We've already covered the taxonomy and delved deeper into these species elsewhere in the series. They are here -> Guppy, Koi, and Angelfish. For review, all three of these fish are freshwater species, native to different river systems, and all are species humans like to keep ornamentally. Likewise, these white versions represent specially bred specimens that not only feature a strange white coloring, but also different fin lengths and shapes. This is especially true for the butterfly koi, specifically known for its long, graceful fins.

But I want to take a "minute" to talk about pigments in the animal kingdom and then the certain genetic anomalies that fuck it up. So lets talk about pigment - what is it and what does it do? To sum it up very quickly, biological pigments, or biochromes, are molecules produced within specialized cells that absorb and reflect certain wavelengths of light, aka, they give animal skin, eyes, fur, etc. color. These colors assist animals in their daily lives, by providing camouflage for animals so that their prey or their predators don't see them coming or going, respectively. Other animals display color to communicate, either to attract a mate or tell a rival to back off. Pigments can even protect the skin from UV radiation (as is the function of melanin in human skin). This is all grade school science class stuff, but it's really important to ecology. Color and color patterns can tell you so much about how an animal lives its life, even without observation. But like all living functions, pigment can get messed up, too, and in a lot of ways.

Perhaps the most famous pigment disorder is albinism. This disorder is characterized by an absence of pigmentation, turning the animal white (in plants, albinism is from the absence of chlorophyll). The term albinism has many incomplete definitions, however, we typically recognize it as a lack of melanin, which results in an all-white body and red eyes. It is especially apparent in mammals, where melanin is the only pigment we make! This disorder comes with a lot of drawbacks for any animal - an all-white body means they've lost the functions of their species' coloration, they have poor vision and eye development, hearing disorders, and, in some studies, the disorder is found to be "semi-lethal", generally reducing the life span. Fortunately, I don't think the ACPC wedding fish have this condition.

By The original uploader was Dawson at English Wikipedia. - Transferred from en.wikipedia to Commons., CC BY-SA 2.5,

I think our fish for today are Leucistic, in that they have a loss of much of their pigments, but not all. For the fish and for the snake above, pigment is absent in the scales, but the eyes are just fine. Leucism is often mistaken for albinism. The big difference between them is the severity and the pigments lost - albinism is a total lack of melanin, but leucism affects all the types of pigments found in the animal kingdom and at different intensities, and therefore can appear "partial", as seen in piebald individuals. And yes, all sorts of albinism and leucism are specifically bred for in the pet trade.

Erythrism is when an individual is strangely more red than usual. I don't have a lot to say about this one but to look it up on Google "erythristic animals" and see how utterly magical they look. Pink bugs are a guarantee.

Then there's Melanism, the exact opposite of albinism/leucism - it is the increased production of melanin, making an animal's skin, etc. very very dark, or completely black. Sometimes melanism gets out of hand and also dyes the inside of the animal black, as is the case with Ayem Cemani breed of chicken. Also worth a Google search: "melanistic animals". Enjoy.

And there you have it. Fascinating stuff, no?

4 Ways Rosehip Oil Helps with Dark Spots and Pigmentation

In this article, we’ll explore four ways rosehip oil can assist in reducing dark spots and pigmentation. We’ll also cover some important limitations to keep in mind.

Let’s get started!

1. Soothes Inflammation

Inflammation is one of the main culprits behind pigmentation and dark spots.

When skin becomes inflamed, it produces melanin (a pigment) as a protective response.

For some, particularly those with darker skin tones, this can lead to an overproduction of melanin. This excess pigment moves to the skin’s surface, creating visible dark spots or patches.

Rosehip oil contains anti-inflammatory compounds like linoleic acid, phytosterols, and phenolic compounds. These ingredients help calm inflammation, reducing the chances of melanin overproduction and pigmentation.

2. Offers Antioxidant Defence

Rosehip oil is loaded with antioxidants, including ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and carotenoids.

Antioxidants neutralise free radicals—unstable molecules generated by environmental factors such as pollution, UV rays, and allergens.

These free radicals can damage healthy cells, inflame the skin, and ultimately trigger pigmentation.

By combating free radicals, rosehip oil helps prevent inflammation and lowers the risk of dark spots forming.

Bonus Insight: Carotenoids, which give tomatoes their red colour, serve a protective role against UV radiation. In rosehip oil, these ingredients work similarly to shield your skin from environmental harm.

3. Regulates Pigment Production

Rosehip oil helps control melanin production at its source.

Melanin synthesis relies on an enzyme called tyrosinase. Key components in rosehip oil, such as ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and all-trans retinoic acid (a natural form of vitamin A), inhibit the activity of this enzyme.

While melanin production remains essential for skin protection, these ingredients help reduce the excess melanin responsible for pigmentation.

4. Enhances Cell Turnover

Rosehip oil promotes cell renewal, thanks to its all-trans retinoic acid content.

This ingredient stimulates the production of new skin cells, which replace older, pigmented cells on the surface.

As the older cells shed, they take the excess pigment with them, leaving the skin brighter and reducing the appearance of dark spots over time.

This process also gives rosehip oil its signature brightening effect, enhancing your skin’s overall glow.

Limitations of Rosehip Oil for Dark Spots

While rosehip oil offers several benefits, it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution.

Not a dedicated anti-pigmentation treatment: Rosehip oil contains small amounts of vitamin C and retinoic acid, but not enough to serve as a primary solution for pigmentation or dark spots.

Best as a complementary product: For noticeable results, pair rosehip oil with targeted ingredients like alpha arbutin, niacinamide, or concentrated vitamin C serums.

Variability in potency: The benefits of rosehip oil depend on factors such as its extraction method, the growing conditions of the plant, and the production process.

How to Choose the Right Rosehip Oil

To ensure you get the most out of rosehip oil, look for products that are:

Cold-pressed: This process preserves the oil’s nutrients.

Certified organic: This ensures minimal exposure to chemicals during cultivation and extraction.

Final Thoughts

Rosehip oil is a fantastic addition to any skincare routine. While it’s not a miracle product for dark spots, its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cell-renewing properties make it an excellent moisturiser with added benefits.

For optimal results, combine rosehip oil with other targeted skincare ingredients. Your skin will thank you!

Skin Whitening Capsules Review: What is Glutathione?

Glutathione is an antioxidant naturally produced by the liver, known for its role in reducing oxidative stress in cells. It’s widely used in skincare due to its ability to lighten the skin, even out skin tone, and reduce dark spots.

4. How Does Glutathione Work for Skin Whitening?

Glutathione works by inhibiting melanin production, the pigment responsible for darker skin tones and pigmentation. This inhibition helps lighten dark spots and evens out skin tone. Unlike topical treatments that only affect the skin’s surface, glutathione works from within, making it a highly effective option for those struggling with stubborn pigmentation and dark spots.
