It gets its color from two types of melanin: brown-black eumelanin and red-yellow pheomelanin.

棕黑色的真黑色素色的褐色素。

You need a lot of eumelanin to absorb UV rays.

你需要大量的真黑色素来吸收紫外线。

It comes in two broad varieties — eumelanin, which is responsible for the black and brown colours, and pheomelanin, which lends the skin and hair yellow to reddish hues.

黑素有两大类——真黑素非黑素，前者使皮发呈现黑色棕色，后者使皮发呈现色色。

Over the course of generations, humans living at the Sun-saturated latitudes in Africa adapted to have a higher melanin production threshold and more eumelanin, giving skin a darker tone.

数代之后生活在阳光充沛的赤道地区周围的非洲居民进化出了更高的黑色素产生阈值，同时分泌出更多的真黑素加深了皮的色调。

There's eumelanin, which gives rise to a range of brown skin tones, as well as black, brown, and blond hair, and pheomelanin, which causes the reddish browns of freckles and red hair.

一种是真黑素，负责形成一系列棕色调皮以及黑棕金色毛发，另一种是褐黑素，负责形成棕色雀斑与色毛发。
