D3

Skin pigmentation changed long ago not only to protect skin from different levels of sun exposure--thats obvious--but also in order to regulate the amount of Vitamin D3 manufactured by the sun just under the skin. This is the theory of Professor Nina Jablonski, a paleoanthropologist with the California Acadamy of Sciences. So when the first swarthy inhabitants of modern Scandinavia confronted a lack of ultraviolet light, their kind quickly selected out for paler children whose skin would manufacture enough vitamin D3 to keep them healthy. Meanwhile, Eskimos arrived in the Arctic dark skinned. The local cuisine of seal and whale is rich in vitamin D3, so the skin was never summoned into action. Evolution has one big rule, if there´s no pressure on the system to change, then it doesn´t bother. So Eskimos remained dark.

When we look at the different races, according to Jablonski´s theory, what we´re actually seeing is not "superiority" or "good people", or "race". All that we are seeing, the only thing we are seeing when we look at skin color, is a meandering trail of vitamin D3 adaptation rates.

Ctrl

Catalans do beach volleyball, on like the only day of the summer that BCN is not sunny, in a plaça converted into sand, complete with surrounding BBQ'S, watermelon eating contests and pop-radio jams. Sleep for two hours then back to the born for nighttime activities, last night cowgirls this night Californians. Tomorrow I'm gonna swim a couple Km for multiple sclerosis, well that because it's free lap swimming at Sara´s pool.

Brownietimes

Aaron, my housemate, makes the best chocolate brownie I´ve eaten in over 2 years. When he made it last Monday it got burnt. They all picked out the insides and I ate the carboniferous crunchies. But this time, oh my, moist, buttery, still warm from the oven, this isn´t a pastel de xocolata, this is a true brownie, American style. Could make it from the recipe hanging on the kitchen door but it's in Catalan, and I´ll never learn how to measure in grams. Sure, I can wing it, but it won´t be the same. So I'll just leave it to Aaron, the male housewife.
