As a result of  our ancestor's adaptability, today the planet is full of people with a vast palette of skin colors, typically, darker eumelanin-rich skin in the hot, sunny band around the Equator, and increasingly lighter pheomelanin-rich skin shades fanning outwards as the sunshine dwindles.
Kao rezultat prilagodljivosti naših predaka, danas je planet pun ljudi s ogromnom paletom boja kože, tipično, tamnija eumelaninom bogata koža u vrućem, sunčanom obruču oko Ekvatora, i svjetlija feomelaninom bogata koža koja se širi prema van kako sunce zalazi.
