So, while the MC1Rf gene does not significantly contribute to variation in skin colour around the world, the allele found in high levels in African populations probably protects against UV radiation and was probably important in the evolution of dark skin.
Jadi, sementara gen MC1Rf tidak secara signifikan memberikan kontribusi terhadap variasi warna kulit di seluruh dunia, alela yang ditemukan dalam kadar tinggi di populasi Afrika mungkin melindungi terhadap radiasi UV dan mungkin kontribusi penting dalam evolusi kulit gelap.
