Question

Based upon what you have learned in this module, what factors contribute to skin color? In what structural layer of the skin and by what cells is melanin produced? What evolutionary factors were the driving forces to produce the variation in skin color we see today? (hint: think about UV protection and absorption) What skin types and environmental factors increase the risk of skin cancer? Be sure to explain the reasoning.
