The factor that was determined to directly cause the loss of skin pigmentation in humans as a result of natural selection is the impact of UV radiation on folate and Vitamin D levels in human populations. This relationship reflects how varying levels of ultraviolet radiation in different geographic locations influenced skin pigmentation as an adaptive response for maintaining appropriate levels of these important nutrients.
