** Not really. Fixiation might change the average skin tone but there are too many genes determining skin color to wipe out all skin color variation. In fact mass interracial mixing would also create new combinations as well. [[http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/gnxp/2009/11/the-future-of-human-evolution/]]
