Best Answer

It is generally accepted that darker skin found in Africa is a protection against sunburn, in a region that is particularly sunny, and paler skin found in northern Europe is an adptation to a less sunny climate where it is helpful to have paler skin in order to be able to synthesize vitamin D more easily; some shades of skin do not have as obvious an explanation and may just be the result of genetic drift; not all changes are necessarily driven by some environmental pressure. Isolated populations develop their own typical characteristics.

How do you know when the polarization in your shades is wearing out?
