Look at the Khoisan groups; they live in the sub-tropics, and yet retain visible skin pigmentation.

Both natives and Euro-Americans have long noted a difference in skin color despite living in similar latitudes. Living in the tropics may necessarily make your skin dark or medium, but living in temperate climates apparently does not make you white. [/QB][/QUOTE]
