You need a lot of eumelanin to absorb UV rays.

It comes in two broad varieties — eumelanin, which is responsible for the black and brown colours, and pheomelanin, which lends the skin and hair yellow to reddish hues.

黑素有两大类——真黑素和非黑素，前皮肤和头发呈现黑和棕，皮肤和头发呈现黄和红。

Over the course of generations, humans living at the Sun-saturated latitudes in Africa adapted to have a higher melanin production threshold and more eumelanin, giving skin a darker tone.

数代之生活在阳光充沛赤道地区周围非洲居民进化出了更高黑素产生阈值，同时分泌出更多真黑素加深了皮肤调。

There's eumelanin, which gives rise to a range of brown skin tones, as well as black, brown, and blond hair, and pheomelanin, which causes the reddish browns of freckles and red hair.

一种是真黑素，负责形成一系列棕调皮肤以及黑棕和金毛发，另一种是黑素，负责形成红棕雀斑与红毛发。
