Best UV protection?
There is theory that black skin evolved as protection against UV radiation.To protect DNA from mutations. I would be glad to know how this theory explains dark hair color, that many people have? I never heard about such thing as "cancer of hair".Most of solar's radiation energy (95%) lays in infrared and visible part of spectrum.Therefore it would be better to have white hair and skin as protection against of Sun.And why DNA cannot be protected by some kind of white particles or envelope which do not develop cancer itself?Do exist some color which is able to reflect all parts of spectrum? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.0.228.58 (talk) 22:11, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
