You are not understanding it at all, LMAO. Let me see if I can have a go at
this.

That's true of all races. Right now, I'm VERY dark - due to being at the
beach almost every day in tropical Florida here. But that will FADE as soon
as I'm no longer in the sun.

Africans have very dark skin

But they don't fade when they stay out of the sun - they might be a bit
lighter, but they are still quite brown - and a different shade of brown
than people from India - noticeably different.

the human body needs a certain amount of sunlight but too

Blacks up above certain lattitudes (like Chiago) got Ricketts - there wasn't
enough sun for them to absorb Vit D. Why they didn't get it from foods is
beyond my ability to answer. But Vit D got added to milk due to THEM. For
THEM.

You hear of skin

Skin cancer is prevalent among Celts for the most part - they BURN. Yet
skin cancer also appears in darker people who can tan, including blacks.

> So the colour of skin and amount of melanin

ALL humans have the exact same number of melanocytes. There are different
KINDS of melanin, however - and that is genetically FIXED. And from the
last I read on that, blacks have ONE kind of melanin, a brown or black
kind - everyone else has another kind, a more reddish kind I think. It is
due to this FIXING that I know we come in distinct breeds. Putting blacks
for generations in Siberia where they do NOT mix with anyone non-black, is
not going to make them white, slant eyed or whatever. They stay black with
the same features. It's FIXED in the genome.

is related to amount of

Or sexual selection.
