Skin colour came from melanin (body pigment) created during process of Melanogenesis. Melanogenesis is the process induced by DNA damage from exposure to UV-B radiation. Ultra Violet radiation had high energy and can cause DNA deformation, such melanin is created to absorb UV and transform radiation energy to heat which is lesser fatal to our cells.
