Yet despite these variations, blood still flows seamlessly across racial and geographic boundaries.

Skin pigmentation, frequently mistaken for deeper biological divides, is actually a simple response to climate: darker skin to shield against harsh UV rays near the equator, lighter tones evolving in colder climates to ensure sufficient vitamin D production. In fact, global maps of skin color mirror climatic zones perfectly. Thus, skin color indicates environmental adaptation, not genetic separation.
