What were the two driving forces that drove the evolution in the variation of skin color

Biology
1 answer:
yarga [219]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The correct answer is: geography and UV radiation.

Explanation:

Skin variation occurred thanks to evolution, and was driven as a consequence of the geographical location of different populations of humans.

The humans that lived in hot and sunny places, closer to the equator, where much more exposed to the sun's ultraviolet radiation. In order to survive the amount of UV lights that they were exposed to, new humans in those regions were being born with a darker skin tone, which was rich in melanin (a brown pigment that protects us from the sun radiation).

Contrary to these humans that lived in the tropical areas, the humans that populated the areas that were closer to the poles, developed much lighter skin as a result of lower amounts of melanin in their skin. Since sun exposure in the poles is very limited, humans needed to receive as much as they could for the production of Vitamin D, and thus, their skins got lighter and less protected.

Which coin paradox calls for the ability to assess when more force is needed?
krek1111 [17]
The answer to this question would be: the more force used, the less effective it is.

Sometimes, more force in counterinsurgency can cause a less effectivity. It was called paradox because with more force you should expect more results and more efficiency. But more force could mean higher possibility for collateral damage which can cause loss, not gain. An overwhelming force also might be pictured as brutality.
