The genetic mutations and phenotypical expression are heavily influenced by the environment in which that person lives–a little sun, a lot of sun, proximity to water or mountainsides, etc. The color of someone’s skin has changed over time due to this mutation-influenced environmental effect. That is why different ethnicities have varying skin colors; they come from different regions with their own light spectrum levels and races developed these differing colors as a result.”
