But then in this case, what you quoted from dennis780 in message 101 isn't inaccurate (although not very specific):
quote:
White people have the lowest levels of melanin, and black have the most.
—dennis780
So he had never said it was increase or decrease in one specific type of melanin either.
And in fact, your explanation here doesn't fit very well with what you had said in message 101:
quote:
What gives human's their skin pigmentation is different types of melanin; it has nothing to do with more or less melanin.
—onifre
Which had given the wrong impression that skin color was the result of what type of melanin you had. If you had 'type A', you were that color. If you had 'type B', you were that color, etc.etc.
When in fact it is more like you got 'type A', you are that color. You got 'type A' and 'type B', you are that color. You got 'type A' and B and C, you are that color. etc.etc.
Anyhow, details.
