It is millions, thousands of years of mutation and evolution.

Human bodies slowly changed depending on what part of the earth they were in----some mutations/adaptations were very useful, and the people that had them survived better because of them.

There is much less sun in the far north of the earth---to survive there, and for people to gather enough vitamin D from sunshine, they must have very light-complected skin. Otherwise, they develop rickets.

With the intense sun of equatorial Africa, the more melanin the better, and the darker skin the better, to protect people from skin cancers. They also need to have dark irises (brown/black eyes) to protect them from cataracts.

"African" hair--that is very curly, and that breaks easily, is also a mutation, and an adaptation to the climate, the heat, and perhaps the plant and animal life the people had to cope with. Whatever it's there for, it's evolved over many millenia, for good reasons.
