The color of a person's skin is determined by the amount of melanin in their skin cells. People of African descent have higher levels of melanin, which gives their skin a darker color. This is an adaptation to protect against harmful UV radiation from the sun in regions with intense sunlight and is not specific to all African people. It is important to note that not all individuals of African descent have dark skin, as there is a wide range of skin tones within the African population.
