This article says that skin color is determined by a set of genes. Later, it says women have lighter skin than men. Since the genes are the same whether the person is male or female, the article contradicts itself, or at the very least, leaves out an additional determinant for skin color besides genes, one which is tied into gender.
No contradiction. The lighter skin in females is related to their higher need of vitamin D during gestation. -- Salsassin ( talk) 17:38, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
