No, just something different.
Dark skinned people can withstand sun better than the others.
Dark skinned are better adapted for sunny weather.
Polar weather requires more absortion of sunlight, so the dark color is gone.
Which one is superior? None.
Mutations create adaptations to certain environments. But it does not mean "superiority". A person with no dark skin would develop cancer faster when exposed to sunlight in sunny places.
Also if you compare the shape of an african hunter and the average westerner who hunts his food in the supermarket, you clearly see who is physically "superior".
