People with darker skin have melanin, which provides protection from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation. In regions far from the equator, where UV radiation is lower, having more melanin is less advantageous. As a result, the evolutionary pressure for maintaining high levels of melanin decreases, leading to a decrease in fitness for individuals with dark skin in those regions.
No, skin reflectance is not randomly distributed throughout the globe. It is influenced by factors such as evolutionary adaptation to the local environment, sunlight exposure, and genetic variations. As a result, there are noticeable patterns of skin reflectance that correspond to geographical regions and populations.
People have dark skin due to higher levels of melanin, a pigment that gives skin its color. Melanin helps protect the skin from harmful UV radiation by absorbing and dissipating it. Darker skin is an evolutionary adaptation for people living in regions with intense sunlight to reduce the risk of skin damage and skin cancer.
Yes. In fact they have the most of any race. Since dark skin converts harmful UV radiation to heat, peoples with dark skin have adapted by developing more sweat glands.
Skin color is determined by the amount/intensity of the sunlight affecting people where they lived over a long period. Dark skin is best in places where the sun is strong (the tropics) as it prevents the sunlight damaging the skin. Light skin is best in places where the sun is weak (the temperate regions) because sunlight needs to penetrate the skin to make vitamin "D" and dark skin prevents this penetration when the sun is weak. Therefore people with dark skin need to make sure that their diet contains extra vitamin D when living in temperate regions and light skinned people need to use sunscreen and cover up on tropical regions so that they do not burn.

No, there is a wide variety of skin tones in Lebanese people. In my family we have dark tanned colored people and pale white people.
Dark skin, dark hair.
All people on Earth are related; we share 99.99% of the same DNA. Skin colorations evolved according to where people settled and remained. Those in colder climates with less sunlight became lighter in skin color. Those who lived in hotter areas with more intense sunlight evolved to have darker skin.
No, God didn't snap his fingers and create white people because he thought black people needed masters. Skin color is a reflection of where people live (or where their ancestors lived) in relation to the equator.
Dark skin
U can find dark skin people in south .light and white skin in north
Ultraviolet rays can do as much harm to dark skin people as white skinned people. The suns rays do not differentiate between colors.
they have dark skin
They like dark skin women because it's something so different from what they have and dark skin women are so beautiful! People love the opposite of what they have a lot of times!
He was Indian, most people from India are dark skinned.
