2nd paragraph
People in hot areas developed more melanin because dark skin helped protect against the sun and skin cancer. In colder countries, people developed lighter skin because they did not face the same kind of pressure to protect themselves from the sun. If your parents came from sunny places, you were born with more melanin and darker skin. If your parents came from less sunny places, you were born with less melanin and lighter skin.
