Answer:

Since strong sun exposure damages the body, the solution was to evolve skin that was permanently dark so as to protect against the sun's more damaging rays. Melanin, the skin's brown pigment, is a natural sunscreen that protects tropical peoples from the many harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) rays.

The erythema response of skin to ultraviolet radiation (UVR), i.e., the sunburn reaction, has long been known to correlate with skin color. Dark-skinned individuals are able to tolerate a longer sun exposure than light-skinned individuals. Skin color in humans is mainly determined by the quantity, quality, and distribution of the complex biopolymer, mel~ni1_1, and its organized form, the melanosome (1,2}; melanm IS thought to protect skin from the deleterious effects of UVR.
