The genetics of skin colour in people - something fishy?

Abstract
Biblical creationists have been at the forefront of efforts to educate the public that the concept of separate human 'races' has little basis in biology. The Bible tells us that we are all descendants of Noah's family, some 4,500 years ago. From this it can be reasonably concluded that all humans are closely related; in other words, very similar genetically.
