DESIGN OR CHANCE : For What purpose is the color of my skin ?
Skin protection continues beyond birth with the coloration compound MELANIN . People whose families have lived in less sunny climates at high latitudes need to absorb all the vitamin D that is available through their skin . They are born with fair skin and fair hair and usually with blue eyes .
People born to warmer climates are in danger of skin damage through too much sunlight , particularly ultraviolet light . These are born with brown or black skins and dark hair and eyes . Both types have melanin in their skins , but the black people have it in much greater concentration . The differences in the concentrations of melanin in the skins of people living at different latitudes balances out the need for vitamin D with the danger of skin cancer . While this state of affairs was probably arrived at through natural selection ( natural selection is not the process that would get simpler cells to man ie fish to fishermen . That process is called the "Primary Axiom" by evolutionists , which requires information adding (non demonstratable) mutations at the genetic level ) the manufacture and distribution in the skin must have been designed .

" The natural tanning process results from our skin's love - hate relationship with sunlight . We need a certain level of UV radiation to allow keratinocytes , the main type of skin cells , to manufacture vitamin D , essential for healthy ......bones . But too much UV causes DNA mutations , which can lead to skin cancer . To balance these conflicting requirements , evolution has come up with a natural sunscreen called MELANIN .This is a light absorbing pigment that is manufactured from the amino acid tyrosine in cells called melanocytes , in response to a substance called melanocyte-stimulating-hor mone , or MSH . the cells release MELANIN from their long tentacles and it disperses into surrounding keratinocytes .
Perhaps surprisingly , it was only recently that scientists discovered how melanocytes detect that you have been in the sun . When UV rays damage the DNA in skin cells , repair enzymes excise short snippets of damaged DNA . In 1994 a team led by Barbara Gilcrest , a dermatologist at Boston University showed that these DNA snippets seem to make melanocytes more responsive to MSH , so they release more MELANIN . Her studies also suggested that the snippets trigger an array of protective systems against sun damage .
" EVERY TIME WE LOOK WE FIND MORE PATHWAYS ," says Gilcrest .

Would an evolutionary process feel the need to throw up an array of protective systems rather than just one ? Could a system involving the cooperation of DNA repair processes , TYROSINE , the hormone MSH and MELANIN come together by chance ? Yet this science reporter felt the need to repeat the mantra that " evolution has come up with " a natural sunscreen .
