Skin color has to do with the amount of melanin that a person produces, which generally corresponds to the climate that their ancestors originated from. Generally, peoples from regions closer to the equator have darker skin and those farther from it have lighter skin. Ultraviolet B radiation increases the production of melanin by melanocytes, so that both genetics and environment influence skin color.
