For example, those who have family who originated from the tropics probably have dark skin, due to the fact that in tropical areas there is more sunlight, and therefore, those people would have adapted to having a lot of sun shining down at them. This contracts with those who have ancestors who originated from snowy or cold regions where the sun is seldom seen have paler skin.
