The evolution of skin pigmentation and hair texture in people of African ancestry.

Dermatologic clinics - 1 Apr 2014

Jablonski Nina G, Chaplin George

Abstract excerpt

Our species, Homo sapiens, evolved in Africa, and humanity's highest levels of genetic diversity are maintained there today. Underlying genetic diversity combined with the great range of solar regimes and climatic conditions found in Africa has contributed to a wide range of human integumentary p...
