Nina Jablonski kaže da su različite boje kože jednostavno prilagodba tijela na različite klime i razine izloženosti UV zrakama. Charles Darwin se nije slagao s ovom teorijom, ali ona pojašnjava, to je zato što nije imao pristup NASA-i.

Zanimljivo, Charles Darwin
00:22
was born a very lightly pigmented man,
1
4000
4000
se rodio kao čovjek jako svijetlog pigmenta,
00:26
in a moderately-to-darkly pigmented world.
2
8000
4000
u umjereno do tamno pigmentiranom svijetu.
00:30
Over the course of his life,
3
12000
3000
Tijekom svog života,
00:33
Darwin had great privilege.
4
15000
2000
Darwin je imao velike privilegije.
00:35
He lived in a fairly wealthy home.
5
17000
3000
Živio je u dosta bogatom domu.
00:38
He was raised by very supportive and interested parents.
6
20000
4000
Odgojili su ga roditelji puni potpore i brige.
00:42
And when he was in his 20s
7
24000
2000
I kad je bio u svojim 20-ima
00:44
he embarked upon a remarkable voyage on the ship the Beagle.
8
26000
4000
odvažio se na značajno putovanje brodom Beagle.
00:48
And during the course of that voyage,
9
30000
3000
I tijekom tog putovanja,
00:51
he saw remarkable things:
10
33000
2000
vidio je znamenite stvari:
00:53
tremendous diversity of plants and animals, and humans.
11
35000
4000
golemu raznolikost biljki i životinja, i ljudi.
00:57
And the observations that he made
12
39000
2000
I primjedbe koje je stekao
00:59
on that epic journey
13
41000
2000
na tom epskom putovanju
01:01
were to be eventually distilled
14
43000
2000
su se s vremenom razvile
01:03
into his wonderful book, "On the Origin of Species,"
15
45000
2000
u njegovu divnu knjigu, "O porijeklu vrsta",
01:05
published 150 years ago.
16
47000
4000
objavljenu prije 150 godina.
01:09
Now what is so interesting
17
51000
2000
Sad, ono što je tako zanimljivo
01:11
and to some, the extent, what's a bit infamous
18
53000
4000
i što je, u neku ruku, pomalo ozloglašeno
01:15
about "The Origin of Species,"
19
57000
2000
o "Porijeklu vrsta",
01:17
is that there is only one line in it
20
59000
2000
je da je tamo samo jedan redak
01:19
about human evolution.
21
61000
3000
o ljudskoj evoluciji.
01:22
"Light will be thrown on the origin of man
22
64000
3000
"Svjetlo će biti bačeno na porijeklo čovjeka
01:25
and his history."
23
67000
2000
i njegovu povijest."
01:27
It wasn't until much longer,
24
69000
2000
Tek puno kasnije,
01:29
much later,
25
71000
2000
puno kasnije
01:31
that Darwin actually spoke
26
73000
2000
je Darwin zapravo progovorio
01:33
and wrote about humans.
27
75000
3000
i pisao o ljudima.
01:36
Now in his years of
28
78000
2000
Za vrijeme
01:38
traveling on the Beagle,
29
80000
2000
putovanja na Beagleu,
01:40
and from listening to the accounts
30
82000
2000
i slušajući izvještaje
01:42
or explorers and naturalists,
31
84000
2000
istraživača i prirodoslovaca,
01:44
he knew that skin color
32
86000
4000
znao je da je boja kože
01:48
was one of the most important ways
33
90000
2000
jedan od najvažnijih načina
01:50
in which people varied.
34
92000
2000
u kojima se ljudi razlikuju.
01:52
And he was somewhat interested in the pattern of skin color.
35
94000
4000
I bio je donekle zainteresiran za obrazac boje kože.
01:56
He knew that darkly pigmented peoples
36
98000
2000
Znao je da se tamno pigmentirani ljudi
01:58
were found close to the equator;
37
100000
3000
nalaze blizu ekvatora,
02:01
lightly pigmented peoples, like himself,
38
103000
2000
svijetlo pigmentirani ljudi, poput njega samoga,
02:03
were found closer to the poles.
39
105000
3000
su bili bliže polovima.
02:06
So what did he make of all this?
40
108000
2000
I što je zaključio iz svega ovoga?
02:08
Well he didn't write anything about it in The Origin of Species.
41
110000
3000
Pa, nije ništa o tome napisao u Porijeklu vrsta.
02:11
But much later, in 1871,
42
113000
3000
Ali mnogo kasnije, 1871.,
02:14
he did have something to say about it.
43
116000
2000
imao je nešto za reći o tome.
02:16
And it was quite curious. He said,
44
118000
2000
I to je bilo poprilično zanimljivo. Rekao je,
02:18
"Of all the differences between the races of men,
45
120000
3000
"Od svih razlika između rasa čovjeka,
02:21
the color of the skin is the most conspicuous
46
123000
2000
boja kože je najizraženija
02:23
and one of the best marked."
47
125000
2000
i jedna od najbolje označenih."
02:25
And he went on to say,
48
127000
2000
I nastavio je,
02:27
"These differences do not coincide
49
129000
3000
"Ove razlike se ne događaju
02:30
with corresponding differences in climate."
50
132000
3000
u skladu s odgovarajućim razlikama u klimi."
02:33
So he had traveled all around.
51
135000
2000
Dakle, putovao je svugdje okolo.
02:35
He had seen people of different colors
52
137000
3000
Vidio je ljude različitih boja
02:38
living in different places.
53
140000
2000
koji žive u različitim mjestima.
02:40
And yet he rejected the idea
54
142000
2000
Pa ipak je odbacio ideju
02:42
that human skin pigmentation
55
144000
3000
da je pigmentacija ljudske kože
02:45
was related to the climate.
56
147000
3000
povezana s klimom.
02:48
If only Darwin lived today.
57
150000
3000
Da je Darwin barem živio danas.
02:51
If only Darwin had NASA.
58
153000
3000
Da je Darwin barem imao NASA-u.
02:54
Now, one of the wonderful things that NASA does
59
156000
4000
Sad, jedna od divnih stvari koje NASA čini
02:58
is it puts up a variety of satellites
60
160000
2000
je da postavlja razne satelite
03:00
that detect all sort of interesting things about our environment.
61
162000
3000
koji otkrivaju svakakve zanimljive stvari o našem okolišu.
03:03
And for many decades now
62
165000
3000
I sad već mnogo desetljeća
03:06
there have been a series of TOMS satellites
63
168000
3000
postoji serija satelita TOMS
03:09
that have collected data about the radiation of the Earth's surface.
64
171000
3000
koji su skupljali podatke o radijaciji na površini Zemlje.
03:12
The TOMS 7 satellite data, shown here,
65
174000
4000
Podaci satelita TOMS 7, pokazani ovdje,
03:16
show the annual average
66
178000
2000
pokazuju godišnji prosjek
03:18
ultraviolet radiation at the Earth's surface.
67
180000
3000
ultraljubičastog zračenja na površini Zemlje.
03:21
Now the really hot pink and red areas
68
183000
3000
Sad, stvarno vruće ružičasta i crvena područja
03:24
are those parts of the world that receive the highest amounts
69
186000
3000
su oni dijelovi svijeta koji dobivaju najveći dio
03:27
of UV during the year.
70
189000
3000
UV zračenja tijekom godine.
03:30
The incrementally cooler colors --
71
192000
3000
Dodavanjem hladnijih boja --
03:33
blues, greens, yellows, and finally grays --
72
195000
3000
plave, zelene, žute, i konačno sive --
03:36
indicate areas of much lower ultraviolet radiation.
73
198000
3000
pokazuju se područja mnogo nižeg ultraljubičastog zračenja.
03:39
What's significant to the story of human skin pigmentation
74
201000
4000
Ono što je značajno za priču o pigmentaciji ljudske kože
03:43
is just how much of the Northern Hemisphere
75
205000
4000
je to koliko se zapravo sjeverne polutke
03:47
is in these cool gray zones.
76
209000
3000
nalazi u ovim sivim zonama.
03:50
This has tremendous implications for our understanding
77
212000
3000
Ovo ima ogroman utjecaj na naše razumijevanje
03:53
of the evolution of human skin pigmentation.
78
215000
3000
evolucije pigmentacije ljudske kože.
03:56
And what Darwin could not appreciate,
79
218000
3000
I ono što Darwin nije mogao cijeniti,
03:59
or didn't perhaps want to appreciate at the time,
80
221000
3000
ili možda želio cijeniti u to vrijeme,
04:02
is that there was a fundamental relationship
81
224000
3000
je da postoji fundamentalna veza
04:05
between the intensity of ultraviolet radiation
82
227000
3000
između intenziteta UV zračenja
04:08
and skin pigmentation.
83
230000
2000
i pigmentacije kože.
04:10
And that skin pigmentation itself
84
232000
3000
I da je sama pigmentacija kože
04:13
was a product of evolution.
85
235000
3000
rezultat evolucije.
04:16
And so when we look at a map of skin color,
86
238000
3000
I tako kad pogledamo kartu boje kože,
04:19
and predicted skin color, as we know it today,
87
241000
3000
i predvidimo boju kože, kako je znamo danas,
04:22
what we see is a beautiful gradient
88
244000
3000
ono što vidimo je predivna gradacija
04:25
from the darkest skin pigmentations toward the equator,
89
247000
3000
od najtamnije pigmentacije prema ekvatoru,
04:28
and the lightest ones toward the poles.
90
250000
3000
do najsvjetlije prema polovima.
04:31
What's very, very important here
91
253000
4000
Ono što je jako, jako važno u tome
04:35
is that the earliest humans
92
257000
2000
je da su najraniji ljudi
04:37
evolved in high-UV environments,
93
259000
3000
evoluirali u okolišu visokog UV-a,
04:40
in equatorial Africa.
94
262000
2000
u ekvatorijalnoj Africi.
04:42
The earliest members of our lineage,
95
264000
3000
Najraniji članovi našeg porijekla,
04:45
the genus Homo, were darkly pigmented.
96
267000
3000
rod Homo, su bili tamnog pigmenta.
04:48
And we all share this incredible heritage
97
270000
4000
I svi dijelimo ovo nevjerojatno nasljedstvo
04:52
of having originally been
98
274000
2000
da smo originalno bili
04:54
darkly pigmented,
99
276000
2000
tamnog pigmenta,
04:56
two million to one and half million years ago.
100
278000
3000
prije dva milijuna do milijun i pol godina.
04:59
Now what happened in our history?
101
281000
5000
Sad, što se dogodilo u našoj povijesti?
05:04
Let's first look at the relationship
102
286000
2000
Pogledajmo najprije vezu
05:06
of ultraviolet radiation to the Earth's surface.
103
288000
3000
između ultraljubičastog zračenja i površine Zemlje.
05:09
In those early days of our evolution,
104
291000
3000
U onim ranim danima evolucije,
05:12
looking at the equator,
105
294000
2000
gledajući na ekvator,
05:14
we were bombarded by high levels of ultraviolet radiation.
106
296000
3000
bili smo bombardirani visokim razinama UV zračenja.
05:17
The UVC, the most energetic type,
107
299000
3000
UVC, najenergičniji tip,
05:20
was occluded by the Earth's atmosphere.
108
302000
3000
je odbijala Zemljina atmosfera.
05:23
But UVB and UVA
109
305000
2000
Ali UVB i posebno
05:25
especially, came in unimpeded.
110
307000
2000
UVA su nesmetano ulazili.
05:27
UVB turns out to be incredibly important.
111
309000
4000
Ispostavilo se da je UVB nevjerojatno važan.
05:31
It's very destructive,
112
313000
2000
Veoma je destruktivan,
05:33
but it also catalyzes the production of vitamin D in the skin,
113
315000
4000
ali također ubrzava proizvodnju vitamina D u koži,
05:37
vitamin D being a molecule that we very much need
114
319000
4000
s time da je vitamin D molekula koja je jako potrebna
05:41
for our strong bones, the health of our immune system,
115
323000
4000
za naše snažne kosti, zdravlje imunosustava,
05:45
and myriad other important functions in our bodies.
116
327000
3000
i mnoštvo drugih važnih funkcija u našim tijelima.
05:48
So, living at the equator, we got
117
330000
2000
Tako, živeći na ekvatoru, primili smo
05:50
lots and lots of ultraviolet radiation
118
332000
3000
mnogo mnogo ultraljubičastog zračenja
05:53
and the melanin --
119
335000
3000
i melanin --
05:56
this wonderful, complex, ancient polymer
120
338000
4000
ovaj divan, kompleksan, prastari polimerni
06:00
compound in our skin --
121
342000
2000
spoj u našoj koži --
06:02
served as a superb natural sunscreen.
122
344000
4000
je služio kao nadmoćna prirodna zaštita od sunca.
06:06
This polymer is amazing
123
348000
2000
Ovaj polimer je sjajan
06:08
because it's present in so many different organisms.
124
350000
3000
zato što je prisutan u tako mnogo različitih organizama.
06:11
Melanin, in various forms, has probably been on the Earth
125
353000
2000
Melanin, u različitim oblicima, je vjerojatno bio na Zemlji
06:13
a billion years,
126
355000
3000
milijardu godina,
06:16
and has been recruited over and over again
127
358000
2000
i iznova i iznova se koristio
06:18
by evolution, as often happens.
128
360000
4000
u evoluciji, kako to često biva.
06:22
Why change it if it works?
129
364000
2000
Zašto mijenjati ako radi?
06:24
So melanin was recruited, in our lineage,
130
366000
4000
Tako se melanin koristio, u našem porijeklu,
06:28
and specifically in our earliest ancestors
131
370000
3000
i posebno kod naših najranijih predaka
06:31
evolving in Africa,
132
373000
2000
koji su evoluirali u Africi,
06:33
to be a natural sunscreen.
133
375000
2000
kao prirodna zaštita od sunca.
06:35
Where it protected the body
134
377000
2000
Tamo gdje je štitio tijelo
06:37
against the degradations of ultraviolet radiation,
135
379000
3000
od štete od ultraljubičastog zračenja,
06:40
the destruction, or damage to DNA,
136
382000
3000
raspad, ili šteta na DNK,
06:43
and the breakdown of a very important molecule called folate,
137
385000
4000
i slom veoma važnih molekula zvanih folat,
06:47
which helps to fuel cell production,
138
389000
3000
koja pomaže u pogonu proizvodnje stanica,
06:50
and reproduction in the body.
139
392000
3000
i reprodukciji tijela.
06:53
So, it's wonderful. We evolved this very protective,
140
395000
3000
Tako, to je divno. Razvili smo ovu jaku zaštitu,
06:56
wonderful covering of melanin.
141
398000
3000
predivnu pokrivenost melaninom.
06:59
But then we moved.
142
401000
4000
Ali onda smo se preselili.
07:03
And humans dispersed -- not once, but twice.
143
405000
4000
I ljudi su se raspršili -- ne jednom, nego dvaput.
07:07
Major moves, outside of our equatorial homeland,
144
409000
4000
Velika kretanja, van naše ekvatorijalne domovine,
07:11
from Africa into other parts of the Old World,
145
413000
4000
iz Afrike u druge dijelove Starog svijeta,
07:15
and most recently, into the New World.
146
417000
2000
i najkasnije, u Novi svijet.
07:17
When humans dispersed into these latitudes,
147
419000
3000
Kad su se ljudi raspršili u ove zemljopisne širine,
07:20
what did they face?
148
422000
2000
sa čim su se suočili?
07:22
Conditions were significantly colder,
149
424000
3000
Uvjeti su bili puno hladniji,
07:25
but they were also less intense
150
427000
2000
ali i manje intenzivni
07:27
with respect to the ultraviolet regime.
151
429000
2000
po pitanju ultraljubičastog sustava.
07:29
So if we're somewhere in the Northern Hemisphere,
152
431000
4000
Pa ako smo bili negdje u sjevernoj polutci,
07:33
look at what's happening to the ultraviolet radiation.
153
435000
3000
pogledajte što se događa s ultraljubičastim zračenjem.
07:36
We're still getting a dose of UVA.
154
438000
3000
Još dobivamo dozu UVA.
07:39
But all of the UVB,
155
441000
2000
Ali sav UVB,
07:41
or nearly all of it,
156
443000
2000
ili gotovo sav,
07:43
is dissipated through the thickness of the atmosphere.
157
445000
3000
se rasipa kroz gustoću atmosfere.
07:46
In the winter, when you are skiing in the Alps,
158
448000
4000
Zimi, kad skijate u Alpama,
07:50
you may experience ultraviolet radiation.
159
452000
3000
možda iskusite ultraljubičasto zračenje.
07:53
But it's all UVA,
160
455000
2000
Ali to je sve UVA,
07:55
and, significantly, that UVA
161
457000
2000
i, značajno, taj UVA
07:57
has no ability to make vitamin D in your skin.
162
459000
5000
nema mogućnosti proizvoditi vitamin D u vašoj koži.
08:02
So people inhabiting northern hemispheric environments
163
464000
5000
Tako da ljudi koji nastanjivaju područja sjeverne polutke
08:07
were bereft of the potential
164
469000
3000
su ostali bez potencijala
08:10
to make vitamin D in their skin for most of the year.
165
472000
3000
da proizvode vitamin D u svojoj koži većinu godine.
08:13
This had tremendous consequences
166
475000
3000
Ovo je imalo goleme posljedice
08:16
for the evolution of human skin pigmentation.
167
478000
2000
za evoluciju pigmentacije ljudske kože.
08:18
Because what happened, in order to ensure health and well-being,
168
480000
5000
Zbog tog što se dogodilo, da bi se osigurali zdravlje i dobrobit,
08:23
these lineages of people
169
485000
2000
one linije ljudi
08:25
dispersing into the Northern Hemisphere
170
487000
4000
koje su se raspršile u sjevernu polutku,
08:29
lost their pigmentation.
171
491000
2000
su izgubile pigmentaciju.
08:31
There was natural selection
172
493000
2000
Na djelu je bila prirodna selekcija
08:33
for the evolution of lightly pigmented skin.
173
495000
5000
za evoluciju svijetlo pigmentirane kože.
08:38
Here we begin to see the evolution
174
500000
2000
Ovdje počinjemo vidjeti evoluciju
08:40
of the beautiful sepia rainbow
175
502000
2000
predivne duge u sepiji
08:42
that now characterizes all of humanity.
176
504000
3000
koja je sad karakteristična za ljudsku vrstu.
08:45
Lightly pigmented skin evolved not just once,
177
507000
4000
Svijetlo pigmentirana koža je evoluirala ne samo jednom,
08:49
not just twice, but probably three times.
178
511000
3000
ne samo dvaput, već vjerojatno tri puta.
08:52
Not just in modern humans,
179
514000
2000
Ne samo kod modernih ljudi,
08:54
but in one of our distant unrelated ancestors,
180
516000
4000
nego i u jednog od predaka s kojima nismo u srodstvu,
08:58
the Neanderthals.
181
520000
2000
Neandertalaca.
09:00
A remarkable, remarkable testament
182
522000
2000
Značajan, značajan prilog
09:02
to the power of evolution.
183
524000
2000
moći evolucije.
09:04
Humans have been on the move for a long time.
184
526000
3000
Ljudi su bili u pokretu dugo vremena.
09:07
And just in the last 5,000 years,
185
529000
2000
I samo u zadnjih 5.000 godina,
09:09
in increasing rates, over increasing distances.
186
531000
3000
u povećanoj mjeri, preko sve većih udaljenosti.
09:12
Here are just some of the biggest movements of people,
187
534000
4000
Ovdje su samo neki od najvećih seoba ljudi,
09:16
voluntary movements, in the last 5,000 years.
188
538000
3000
dobrovoljna preseljenja, u posljednjih 5.000 godina.
09:19
Look at some of the major latitudinal transgressions:
189
541000
3000
Pogledajte neke od glavnih transgresija u zemljopisnoj širini:
09:22
people from high UV areas
190
544000
2000
ljudi iz područja visokog UV-a
09:24
going to low UV and vice versa.
191
546000
3000
idu u područja niskog UV-a i obrnuto.
09:27
And not all these moves were voluntary.
192
549000
4000
I nisu sva ova kretanja dobrovoljna.
09:31
Between 1520 and 1867,
193
553000
3000
Između 1520. i 1867.,
09:34
12 million, 500 people
194
556000
4000
12 milijuna, 500 ljudi
09:38
were moved from high UV
195
560000
2000
se preselilo iz visokog UV-a
09:40
to low UV areas
196
562000
2000
u područja niskog UV-a
09:42
in the transatlantic slave trade.
197
564000
3000
u prekoatlantskoj trgovini robljem.
09:45
Now this had all sorts of invidious social consequences.
198
567000
4000
Ovo je pak imalo svakakve zlokobne društvene posljedice.
09:49
But it also had deleterious
199
571000
3000
Isto tako je imalo poguban
09:52
health consequences to people.
200
574000
2000
utjecaj na zdravlje ljudi.
09:54
So what? We've been on the move.
201
576000
3000
Pa što? Selili smo se.
09:57
We're so clever we can overcome all of these
202
579000
3000
Bili smo tako pametni i nadišli sve ove
10:00
seeming biological impediments.
203
582000
3000
prividne biološke prepreke.
10:03
Well, often we're unaware
204
585000
2000
Pa, često nismo svjesni
10:05
of the fact that we're living
205
587000
2000
činjenice da živimo
10:07
in environments in which our skin
206
589000
2000
u okolišu u kojem je naša koža
10:09
is inherently poorly adapted.
207
591000
3000
nasljedno slabo prilagođena.
10:12
Some of us with lightly pigmented skin
208
594000
2000
Neki od nas sa svjetlije pigmentiranom kožom
10:14
live in high-UV areas.
209
596000
2000
žive u područjima visokog UV-a.
10:16
Some of us with darkly pigmented skin
210
598000
2000
Neki od nas s tamnije pigmentiranom kožom
10:18
live in low-UV areas.
211
600000
3000
žive u područjima niskog UV-a.
10:21
These have tremendous consequences for our health.
212
603000
4000
Ovo ima goleme posljedice na naše zdravlje.
10:25
We have to, if we're lightly pigmented,
213
607000
3000
Moramo, ako smo svijetlije pigmentirani,
10:28
be careful about the problems of skin cancer,
214
610000
4000
biti oprezni zbog problema s rakom kože,
10:32
and destruction of folate in our bodies,
215
614000
3000
i uništavanjem folata u našem tijelu,
10:35
by lots of sun.
216
617000
2000
zbog puno sunca.
10:37
Epidemiologists and doctors
217
619000
2000
Epidemiolozi i doktori
10:39
have been very good about telling us
218
621000
2000
su bili jako dobri i rekli nam
10:41
about protecting our skin.
219
623000
2000
da zaštitimo svoju kožu.
10:43
What they haven't been so good about instructing people
220
625000
5000
Ali nisu bili tako dobri pri upućivanju ljudi
10:48
is the problem of darkly pigmented people
221
630000
3000
u problem s tamno pigmentiranim ljudima
10:51
living in high latitude areas,
222
633000
3000
koji žive u područjima visoke zemljopisne širine,
10:54
or working inside all the time.
223
636000
2000
koji rade u zatvorenom cijelo vrijeme.
10:56
Because the problem there is just as severe,
224
638000
3000
Zato što je tu problem jednako ozbiljan,
10:59
but it is more sinister,
225
641000
2000
ali je i zlokobniji,
11:01
because vitamin D deficiency,
226
643000
2000
zbog nedostatka vitamina D,
11:03
from a lack of ultraviolet B radiation,
227
645000
4000
zbog nedostatka ultraljubičastog B zračenja,
11:07
is a major problem.
228
649000
2000
što je glavni problem.
11:09
Vitamin D deficiency creeps up on people,
229
651000
2000
Nedostatak vitamina D se prikrada ljudima,
11:11
and causes all sorts of health problems to their bones,
230
653000
3000
i uzrokuje razne zdravstvene probleme s kostima,
11:14
to their gradual decay of their immune systems,
231
656000
4000
do postupnog raspada imuno sustava,
11:18
or loss of immune function,
232
660000
2000
ili gubitka imunološke funkcije,
11:20
and probably some problems
233
662000
2000
i vjerojatno nekih problema
11:22
with their mood and health,
234
664000
3000
s raspoloženjem i zdravljem,
11:25
their mental health.
235
667000
2000
njihovim mentalnim zdravljem.
11:27
So we have, in skin pigmentation,
236
669000
3000
Tako imamo, u pigmentaciji kože,
11:30
one of these wonderful products of evolution
237
672000
3000
jedan od ovih divnih proizvoda evolucije
11:33
that still has consequences for us today.
238
675000
2000
koji i dan danas ima posljedice za nas.
11:35
And the social consequences,
239
677000
2000
I društvene posljedice su,
11:37
as we know, are incredibly profound.
240
679000
3000
kako znamo, jako duboke.
11:40
We live in a world where we
241
682000
2000
Živimo u svijetu gdje
11:42
have lightly and darkly pigmented people
242
684000
4000
imamo svijetlo i tamno pigmentirane ljude
11:46
living next to one another,
243
688000
2000
koji žive jedni do drugih,
11:48
but often brought into proximity initially
244
690000
3000
ali često su dovedeni blizu počevši
11:51
as a result of very invidious social interactions.
245
693000
4000
kao rezultat veoma zlokobnih ljudskih interakcija.
11:55
So how can we overcome this?
246
697000
3000
Pa kako možemo nadići ovo?
11:58
How can we begin to understand it?
247
700000
2000
Kako možemo početi to razumijevati?
12:00
Evolution helps us.
248
702000
4000
Evolucija nam pomaže.
12:04
200 years after Darwin's birthday,
249
706000
4000
200 godina nakon Darwinova rođendana,
12:08
we have the first moderately pigmented President of the United States.
250
710000
5000
imamo prvog umjereno pigmentiranog predsjednika SAD-a.
12:13
(Applause)
251
715000
1000
(Pljesak)
12:14
How wonderful is that?
252
716000
2000
Zar to nije divno?
12:16
(Applause)
253
718000
2000
(Pljesak)
12:18
This man is significant for a whole host of reasons.
254
720000
4000
Ovaj čovjek je značajan zbog velikog mnoštva razloga.
12:22
But we need to think about how he compares,
255
724000
3000
Ali moramo razmisliti kako on stoji u usporedbi,
12:25
in terms of his pigmentation, to other people on Earth.
256
727000
2000
s obzirom na svoju pigmentaciju, s drugim ljudima na Zemlji.
12:27
He, as one of many urban admixed populations,
257
729000
4000
On, kao jedan od mnogih urbanih miješanih populacija,
12:31
is very emblematic
258
733000
2000
je jako dobar primjer
12:33
of a mixed parentage, of a mixed pigmentation.
259
735000
3000
miješanih roditelja, miješane pigmentacije.
12:36
And he resembles, very closely,
260
738000
2000
I jako nalikuje, jako blizu,
12:38
people with moderate levels of pigmentation
261
740000
3000
ljudima s umjerenom razinom pigmentacije
12:41
who live in southern Africa, or Southeast Asia.
262
743000
4000
koji žive u južnoj Africi, ili jugozapadnoj Aziji.
12:45
These people have a tremendous potential
263
747000
2000
Ovi ljudi imaju ogroman potencijal
12:47
to tan, to develop more pigment in their skin,
264
749000
3000
da potamne, da razviju više pigmenta u svojoj koži,
12:50
as a result of exposure to sun.
265
752000
2000
kao rezultat izlaganja suncu.
12:52
They also run the risk of vitamin D deficiency,
266
754000
4000
Također su pod rizikom nedostatka vitamina D,
12:56
if they have desk jobs, like that guy.
267
758000
4000
ako imaju uredske poslove, kao taj čovjek.
13:00
So lets all wish for his great health,
268
762000
4000
Pa poželimo mu svi odlično zdravlje,
13:04
and his awareness of his own skin pigmentation.
269
766000
5000
i da bude svjestan svoje pigmentacije kože.
13:09
Now what is wonderful
270
771000
3000
Ono što je divno
13:12
about the evolution of human skin pigmentation,
271
774000
4000
u evoluciji pigmentacije ljudske kože,
13:16
and the phenomenon of pigmentation,
272
778000
2000
i fenomenu pigmentacije,
13:18
is that it is the demonstration,
273
780000
3000
je da demonstrira,
13:21
the evidence, of evolution
274
783000
3000
da je dokaz evolucije
13:24
by natural selection,
275
786000
2000
prirodnim odabirom,
13:26
right on your body.
276
788000
4000
upravo na vašem tijelu.
13:30
When people ask you, "What is the evidence for evolution?"
277
792000
3000
Kad vas ljudi pitaju: "Koji je dokaz evolucije?"
13:33
You don't have to think about some exotic examples, or fossils.
278
795000
4000
Ne morate razmišljati o nekom egzotičnom primjeru, ili fosilima.
13:37
You just have to look at your skin.
279
799000
3000
Samo morate pogledati na svoju kožu.
13:40
Darwin, I think, would have appreciated this,
280
802000
4000
Darwin bi, mislim, ovo cijenio,
13:44
even though he eschewed the importance
281
806000
3000
iako mu je izmakla važnost
13:47
of climate on the evolution of pigmentation during his own life.
282
809000
4000
klime na evoluciju pigmentacije tijekom njegova života.
13:51
I think, were he able to look
283
813000
3000
Mislim, da je mogao pogledati
13:54
at the evidence we have today, he would understand it.
284
816000
3000
na dokaze koje imamo danas, da bi razumio.
13:57
He would appreciate it.
285
819000
2000
Cijenio bi to.
13:59
And most of all, he would teach it.
286
821000
4000
I najvažnije, poučavao bi to.
14:03
You, you can teach it.
287
825000
3000
Vi, vi to možete poučavati.
14:06
You can touch it.
288
828000
2000
Možete to dotaknuti.
14:08
You can understand it.
289
830000
2000
Možete to razumjeti.
14:10
Take it out of this room.
290
832000
3000
Odnesite to iz ove sobe.
14:13
Take your skin color,
291
835000
2000
Uzmite svoju boju kože,
14:15
and celebrate it.
292
837000
2000
i slavite je.
14:17
Spread the word.
293
839000
2000
Raširite vijest.
14:19
You have the evolution
294
841000
2000
Imate evoluciju
14:21
of the history of our species,
295
843000
4000
povijesti naše vrste,
14:25
part of it, written in your skin.
296
847000
2000
dio toga, ispisan na vašoj koži.
14:27
Understand it. Appreciate it. Celebrate it.
297
849000
3000
Razumite. Cijenite. Slavite.
14:30
Go out. Isn't it beautiful? Isn't it wonderful?
298
852000
4000
Idite van. Zar nije predivno? Zar nije prekrasno?
14:34
You are the products of evolution.
299
856000
3000
Vi ste proizvod evolucije.
14:37
Thank you.
300
859000
2000
Hvala vam.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Nina Jablonski - AnthropologistNina Jablonski is author of Skin: A Natural History, a close look at human skin’s many remarkable traits: its colors, its sweatiness, the fact that we decorate it.
Why you should listen
"Much of what we consider our humanity is imbued in our skin," Nina Jablonski tells us. This insight came to her in 1981, as she observed a jittery anatomy class warm to a cadaver only after cutting through its skin. As it turns out, marvels abound of this sweaty, hardwearing, social -- and underappreciated -- organ. Many are collected in her book, Skin: A Natural History, a look at what makes our skin unique and, perhaps, more important than we realize.
A fascination with the multicolored, multi-talented human hide fits Jablonski, a truly eclectic scientist. She's also a paleontologist and primatologist, studying the form, behavior and diet of mammals in light of climate change and evolution.
