England does not lie towards 'the end of the Earth'. There are several countries much further north than the UK.
Remember to read the Bible in its ancient context, regarding ancient geography the northern most Island in classical antiquity was Thule (Ultima Thule) and the Cassiterides which are both connected to Britain, the ancient Hebrews (and Phoenicians) had similar names for them.
The ancients had no knowledge of certain lands beyond a certain point, hence the ancient Greeks and Romans coined them
terra incognita - ''unknown lands''.
The 'ends of the earth' in the last chapters of Deuteronomy, the Book of Isaiah and Jeremiah all refer to Britain or Scandinavia.
Even up to the times of Beothius (524 AD), Britain was considered to be at the 'ends of the world'.
Both Manasseh and Ephraim were people, not places. They were the sons of Moses. I'm not sure why you mentioned them.
They were the sons of Joseph, and were counted amongst the 'lost' tribes of Israel. Ephraim are who the ethnic-English descend from, this topic though is not relevant to polygenism, i only raised this to show that the apostles only entered territories where the Israelites were settled.
I'm not quite sure why you've suggested that Isaiah 49:10 speaks of England either. It says:
''Neither shall heat nor sun smite them'' - meaning their territory would be cold and not hot i.e Northern Europe.
The entire chapter does not seem to be referring to any specific country at all, nor does Isaiah 24:14-16.
Isaiah 24: 14-16 -
''They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea. Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, [even] the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, [even] glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.''
- ''cry aloud from the sea''/'isles of the sea'' are geographic references to an Isle or Island (this is plain clear).
- ''uttermost part of the earth'' - another geographic reference. So the Isle and sea would be to the far north.
- ''fires'' - A reference to Iceland.
Throughout ancient history, Iceland has been called the ''Island of fires'', or ''Isle of flames'' because of its volcanoes. Still today a volcanic Island off the coast of Iceland is called Surtsey, named after the Jotun (giant) of fire or flames in Norse mythology. Also Iceland sits at the ''uttermost part of the earth'' known to the ancients.
Lots of people have show repeatedly shown how certain racial features, particularly skin colour, are related to environment. They provided links for you. You're saying the same untrue statements over and over again to reassure yourself, not because you're genuinely interested in debate or because you have any biological evidence to back up your claims. Nobody is going to take your arguments seriously if you keep doing this.
So why are the native Libyans pale? You've avoided this two or three times in this thread, and in the other about five times...
I wish you would add sources along with these odd claims.
Ok...
Kabyles (indigenous Berbers) -
''The Kabyles of the hills between Algiers and Bougie, and the Shawia of the Aures Mountains are very similar to one another and may be taken as typical Berbers. They are
distinctly white-skinned, even when sunburned. Usually they have black hair and brown or hazel eyes,
some have yellow hair and blue eyes. In the royal necropolis of Thebes of about 1300 B.C., certain
Libyans are depicted as having a white skin, blue eyes and fair beards. Blonds are represented on Egyptian monuments from 1700 B.C. and were noted by the Greeks in the fourth century B.C. In the east the blonds have quite died out, but there are patches of this race in the west of North Africa.
This fair race still remain an unsolved problem''

Note how Haddon (an evolutionist) admitted it remains an 'unsolved problem' and 80 or so years on and evolutionists still can't provide an answer...
More quotes -
''Part of my time had been passed of what is called "La Grande Kabylie", that portion of the province of Algiers which is inhabited by he Kabyles, the most direct descendants of the Ancient Libyans. They are strange people these Kabyles, both in customs and physical aspects.
Native of Africa time out of mind, many of them present the
purest type of the blonde races, blue or gray eyes, tawny beard
, fair complexion, curly
light or reddish hair, muscular in build and often tall in stature''
- Daniel Garrison Brinton, The Ethnologic affinities of the Ancient Etruscans, Proceedings, American Philosophical Society, vol. 26, 1889, p.504
''The Berbers, among whom even today one finds
light skins and blue eyes, do not go back to the Vandal invasions of the fifth century A.D., but to the prehistoric Atlantic Nordic human wave. The Kabyle huntsmen, for example, are to no small degree still wholly Nordic (thus the blond Berbers in the region of Constantine form 10 % of the population; at Djebel Sheshor they are even more numerous).

''Of the Berbers there is much good to be said. Whether in the olive-clad mountains of Kabylia or the terraced valleys of their Aurasian fastnesses,
they are white men, and in general act like white men.''

The Egyptians, pale skinned and fair-haired? More nonsense.
Science is against you (again)...
''After having achieved this immense work, an important scientific conclusion remains to be drawn: the anthropological study and the microscopic analysis of hair, carried out by four laboratories: Judiciary Medecine (Professor Ceccaldi), Société L'Oréal, Atomic Energy Commission, and Institut Textile de France showed that Ramses II was a 'leucoderm', that is a fair-skinned man, near to the Prehistoric and Antiquity Mediterraneans, or briefly, of the Berbers of Africa.''

Dr. Joann Fletcher, a consultant to the British Bioanthropology Foundation, has proved that Seti I (the father of Ramesses II), had red hair. [Parks (2000).]
It has also been demonstrated that the mummy of Pharaoh Siptah (a great-grandson of Ramesses II), has red hair. [Partridge (1994) 169.]
An anthropological description of Ramesses' mummy, which was written by the Biblical historian Archibald Sayce:
"The Nineteenth Dynasty to which Ramses II, the oppressor of the Israelites, belonged, is distinguished by its marked dolichocephalism of long-headedness. His mummy shows an index of 74, while the face is an oval with an index of 103. The nose is prominent, but leptorrhine and aquiline, and the jaws are orthognathous. The chin is broad, the neck long, like the fingers and nails. The great king seems to have had red hair." [Sayce (1925) 136.]
''The predynastic Egyptians, that is to say, that stratum of them which was indigenous to North Africa, belonged to a white or light-skinned race with fair hair, who in many particulars resembled the Libyans, who in later historical times lived very near the western bank of the Nile."

When English archaeologist Howard Carter excavated the tomb of Tutankhamen in 1922, he discovered in the Treasury a small wooden sarcophagus. Within it lay a memento of Tutankhamen's beloved grandmother, Queen Tiye: "a curl of her auburn hair."

Queen Tiye (18th Dynasty), was the daughter of Thuya, a Priestess of the God Amun. Thuya's mummy, which was found in 1905, has long, red-blonde hair. Examinations of Tiye's mummy proved that she bore a striking resemblance to her mother.

American Egyptologist Donald P. Ryan excavated tomb KV 60, in the Valley of the Kings, during the course of 1989. Inside, he found the mummy of a royal female, which he believes to be the long-lost remains of the great Queen Hatshepsut (18th Dynasty). Ryan describes the mummy as follows:
''The mummy was mostly unwrapped and on its back. Strands of reddish-blond hair lay on the floor beneath the bald head." [Ibid., p. 87.][/font]
Red-Haired Ramesses -
''...identical percentages of fully depigmented and pigmented hairs, the overall colour being a light fair red with some tendency towards yellow.''

The evidence is against evolution here.
also believe that recognizably black Africans appear in the Bible, so that this adaptation was essentially complete by at least the time when the Bible was canonized. Therefore, the process of populational adaptation to different climates can take at most two thousand years.
