Our lack of body hair and our variable skin color are some of the traits that set us apart from our closest primate relatives. Wavelengths of light are reflected or absorbed by pigment in the skin called melanin. Melanin is synthesized in structures called melanosomes that are produced by cells called melanocytes.

"Skin color is a classic variable trait in humans, and it's thought to be adaptive," Tishkoff said. "Analysis of the genetic basis of variation in skin color sheds light on how adaptive traits evolve, including those that play a role in disease risk."

What are free radicals? What kind of harm can they cause
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

If an atom has an outer shell that is not full, it may bond with another atom, using the electrons to complete its outer shell. These types of atoms are known as free radicals. Free radicals break cells down over time.  As the body ages, it loses its ability to fight the effects of free radicals. The result is more free radicals, more oxidative stress, and more damage to cells, which leads to degenerative processes, as well as “normal” aging.

It is very difficult to add or remove electrons from an atom that has eight electrons in its outer shell.
Bond [772]

Explanation:

Electrons are typically removed from the valence shells, which are the highest s and p orbitals. Also, Hund's rule still applies here, but backwards. Electrons will be removed from their orbitals until all of them are unpaired, and then the unpaired ones will be removed.

May be true because velence shell is the outermost shell which can be removed.
