Evolution of Skin Color

One of this week's readings, "The Pursuit of Equity in Health" by Basset, reminded me of Nina Jablonski's work. Jablonski is the head of the anthropology department at Penn State University and one of her most famous research studies is about the evolution of skin color. I searched online for recent articles and found this intersting article.
If you're interested in reading the entire paper she published back in 2004, the title is "The Evolution of Human Skin and Skin Color"
