I recently joined the Nation of Islam and I was reading about how white people were created by a scientist called Yakub over 6000 years ago. Can you explain to me how the white race was created?

The idea of White people being created by a scientist called Yakub over 6000 years ago is a myth promoted by the Nation of Islam. This idea is not supported by mainstream scientific consensus which states that modern humans first appeared more than 200,000 years ago.  The idea instead suggests that modern humans slowly evolved in different regions throughout Earth's history, gradually diverging into the different human sub-species that exist today.  Ultimately, the emergence and development of different human sub-species were influenced by climatic, geographical and social factors rather than any sort of divine intervention.
