Through the harsh conditions, several species survived and began to spread to various other parts of the continent, and the rest of the world. From six species to three, moving across the country is what allowed our people to expand knowledge, technology and even just adapt to new climates. Being in a warmer environment, closer to the sun, it is necessary for the skin to absorb more sun rays, thus making and keeping the skin a darker color/shade. As time progresses and

The term, “Ichthyosis”, is a skin disorder generally causing dry, scaly skin. It is affecting around 1 in 250 people and is typically an autosomal dominant inherited disease; although, a rare non-heritable version called “acquired ichthyosis” exists to this day in modern age. The condition is not life-threatening, however, the impact on the patient, if it is a mild case, is commonly regulated to mild itching and the social impression of having skin with an unusual appearance will affect those surrounding the person tremendously. People afflicted with mild cases acquire symptoms which comprises scaly patches on the shins, fine white scales on the forearms and upper arms, and rough palms. These severe cases involve the “build-up” of scales everywhere. Furthermore, when the “build-up” of scales are depraved, the person with a severe case suffers from "prickly itch" when he or she needs to sweat but cannot because of the scales. Various contemporary treatments are available to "exfoliate" the scales. These include lotions that contain alpha-hydroxy acids.
After production, melanin is packaged in membrane bodies called melanosomes. Dark skin has large melanosomes that are in a single state and also contains more melanosomes than lighter skin such as in Europeans. Most Asian skin, on the other hand, has smaller concentrated groups of melanosomes, whereas European skin has the smallest melanosomes, which are combined into bound materials. The spacing and amount of melanosomes are what gives the appearance of skin color due to the dispersal of light hitting the skin.
