EVE lore means things should be as they are: each major race are both offspring of Earth colonists & the lone survivors of a catatrophe. Most of them spreaded from a single planet with homogenous population after trillions died after the catastrophe. Then they've been isolate for thousands of years striving to survive on their own and once they meet again there's not much interest for interbreeding as war has been the usual relationship between them until recent years before the game starts. This is why they're fairly homogeneous still, according to EVE lore facts. I mean, we can figure there could be mixed relations (romeo & juliet style) but, all in all, we're talking about capsuleers, which are one in 10.000 in New Eden... Do this people (capsuleers) even breed...? 
I havenÆt finished reading all the chronicles and i was wondering if EVE citizens came from Earth. I was sure that I read somewhere that they did which made this issue even more of a problem for me.
When people left earth did someone split the survivorsÆ into groups based on their skin colour and send them on separate paths? Did Caldari and Gallente evolve on a cold planet (which might explain their pale complexion)? Has concord imposed an apartheid that stops the different races interbreeding? So many questions... 
I know it may seem like a petty issue to some and i really hate having to bring the subject up but it does bother me.
stop bringing it up then, lol.
Anyway, Caldari do come from a cold planet. The one ancient story from their planet sounds very viking like, and involves a very very cold wind (It's more of a folk story i think).
You can however make very dark skinned caldari in the current (the one on tranq) char creator.
Gallente Prime is the next planet closer to the star in Luminaire, so is likely warmer. It's orbiting radius is actually almost 10au closer (4.4, instead of 14.1). On the new char creator the Gallente seem to look very Mediterranean or Israelite.
