Why can't 2 white people produce a dark skinned child with a lot of melanin but 2 black people can create a fair skinned white baby at birth?
That makes sense for light skin, but what about dark skin?
Dark skin is produced by the presence of large amounts of melanin in the skin. When two people with darker skin have a child, it is more likely that the child will inherit the genes that produce large amounts of melanin, making their skin darker.
