Distribution of Human Skin Color Geographically - LexiLine Journal 332

I received an e-mail asking me about how human beings derived their varied skin coloring in the course of the history of humanity.

A good webpage on this question is found at

http://anthro.palomar.edu/adapt/adapt_4.htm

at the excellent website

http://anthro.palomar.edu/adapt/

as created and maintained by Dr. Dennis O'Neil, Behavioral Sciences Department, Palomar College, San Marcos, California.

The site has some fine material, e.g. a world map which gives a nice overview.
