I am Dr. Nina Jablonski, professor of anthropology at Pennsylvania State University. My work revolves around biology and the evolution of human skin color. I have spent many years researching and writing about skin color adaptation in humans and presenting the topic in schools and to the public worldwide. The skin is our largest organ and it has many important functions. It protects us from illnesses and harmful environmental influences and helps us regulate our body temperature. Skin color is just one of the many amazing characteristics of our skin. I hope you find my work on skin color interesting and that it helps you understand why we look so different. See you soon, and don’t forget: “It’s just skin!”
