Colour blind
if skin colour as stated is "ranges from the darkest brown to the lightest hue" where does black and white fall "within" that colour scale? 101.119.167.91 (talk) 17:42, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Skin colour evolution
From under the Geography section, "we do not know when skin color is likely to have evolved" - Templeton 2002. Yes we do, Hanel 2020: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/exd.14142#exd14142-bib-0058 14.2.196.234 (talk) 11:07, 22 February 2024 (UTC)


 * I have completely blanked that section as it was stolen verbatim from https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/exd.14142 and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC212702/ ... someone should rewrite it, in their own words. Tobus (talk) 00:38, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Sources appear to be unrelated to claims
Specifically numbers 6 through 11 are about testing and preventing various birth defects but do not seem to address the issue of melanin in human evolution. 2601:602:87F:9906:C871:FFCA:724A:3EE0 (talk) 19:06, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Agreed - they are WP:CITEKILL and look more like WP:SYNTH - replaced with a ref that actually states the claim. Tobus (talk) 00:26, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
