Answer 3

Humans that produced more melanin became more common as populations migrated toward the equator. This is because melanin protects the skin from UV radiation and helps prevent skin damage and skin cancer. As populations migrated towards regions with higher UV radiation, there was a selective advantage for individuals with more melanin to protect against this radiation. Conversely, in regions with less UV radiation, there was less of a selective advantage for individuals to have high levels of melanin, therefore humans that produced less melanin became more common.
