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

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.

kupik [55]

Answer:

1. Skin Creams

Explanation:

An independent variable is the only variable that is changed while the rest is kept the same. In this setup, the doctor is using different creams on the same patient with the same skin condition so the independent variable is the skin cream and not the skin condition.
