Ohh I apologize. I see what you meant now.

That's what the crux of the issue surrounding the game has always been about. The game authors say - in this area near 1400, according to the historians they consulted, there doesn't appear to be any historical evidence that there were any black people living in the area.

And around that time, excluding any migration. as a "rule of thumbs" the average skin color would be near that graph pemalite sent.

... but that graph is of the skin tone of "indigenous people" as of 2007, not 1400. If it was, the entire continent of North America would be pretty err... "reddish brown"?. For example, The Innu and Inuit of Northern Canada have lived in that area for millennia. They look pretty similar to other "Native Americans" and they have lived there for thousands of years. But according to this graph, the average skin tone of the "indigenous" people that live in the areas they traditionally inhabited have about the same skin tone of English, French, Irish, Dutch, and Skandanavian people. You know, the people that migrated to that area and have lived there now for 400-500 years.

So unless you want to state with a straight face that these people (Inuit):

 

have the same skin tone as these people (Norse)



These I think we should stop referencing this graph as relevant to the conversation about what skin tones people had in the area now known as the Czech republic 600 years ago.
