The color of normal: How a Eurocentric focus erases pigmentation complexity.

American journal of human biology : the official journal of the Human Biology Council - 1 Sept 2021

Norton Heather L

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Skin pigmentation is both a highly variable and highly visible human phenotypic trait. Investigations into the biology and origins of this variation have been the focus of research in the fields of dermatology, anthropology, and forensic science, among others. This manuscript explores how much of what we know about the biology, genetics, and evolutionary origins of pigmentation has been strongly...
