When living things need to fulfill their needs for survival, they adapt. One thing that may stop living things from doing so is the environment. Take mangroves for example, it has adapted to live in a saline environment by using long exposed roots to transfer oxygen into the underground roots by holes. Because of hot sun, they have the ability to turn the leaves so that it can save more water. People with darker skin are generally in a harsher environment where fair people would burn, so they have adapted to their environment. There is so many more, basically everything has adapted to it's environment to make it more comfortable.
