Why do Africans have dark skin?
There is a lot of eumelanin in their body – it is responsible for pigmentation. Scientists from the UK wondered why the pigment came from just this nation and found that evolution was to blame. Due to pigmentation, the amount of skin cancer due to excess ultraviolet radiation has decreased. Such conclusions were made by observing people with albinism in Africa. It turned out that more than 80% of them develop cancer before the age of 30 years.
In other words, the appearance of dark-skinned people was the result of natural selection. Due to the fact that the white-skinned people in Africa died out before conceiving their offspring, and mutations occurred.
