Skin color is determined by the amount/intensity of the sunlight affecting people where they lived over a long period.
Dark skin is best in places where the sun is strong (the tropics) as it prevents the sunlight damaging the skin.
Light skin is best in places where the sun is weak (the temperate regions) because sunlight needs to penetrate the skin to make vitamin "D" and dark skin prevents this penetration when the sun is weak.
Therefore people with dark skin need to make sure that their diet contains extra vitamin D when living in temperate regions and light skinned people need to use sunscreen and cover up on tropical regions so that they do not burn.
