The evolution of human skin pigmentation: A changing medley of vitamins, genetic variability, and UV radiation during human expansion

25 Jun 2022

Abstract excerpt

Abstract This review examines putative, yet likely critical evolutionary pressures contributing to human skin pigmentation and subsequently, depigmentation phenotypes. To achieve this, it provides a synthesis of ideas that frame contemporary thinking, without limiting the narrative to pigmentation genes alone. It examines how geography and hence the quality and quantity of UV exposure, pigmentation genes,...
