Detailed explanation-2: -Abstract. Differences in skin and hair color are principally genetically determined and are due to variation in the amount, type, and packaging of melanin polymers produced by melanocytes secreted into keratinocytes.
Detailed explanation-3: -People from tropical regions of the world at or near the equator generally have darker skin than people who live in temperate regions farther from the equator, because variation in human skin color is closely related to geographic variation in solar radiation.
