Vitamin D—Effects on Skeletal and Extraskeletal Health and the Need for Supplementation (2013, background): “females being lighter skinned than males in all populations for which data about the skin reflectance was available could be explained by the higher needs of vitamin D during pregnancy and lactation [8].”
Masked fake face detection using radiance measurements. (2009, methodology): “Since it is difﬁcult for us to obtain ample data with respect to various skin colors, we have not only used our experimental data (white-skinned subjects, 15; yellow-skinned subjects, 175; and black-skinned subjects, 15) but also refer to previous research data [3].”
Genetic determinants of hair, eye and skin pigmentation in Europeans (2007, background): “Pigmentation in human tissue is attributable to the number, type and cellular distribution of melanosomes (subcellular compartments produced by melanocytes that synthesize and store the light-absorbing polymer melanin”
The nonskeletal effects of vitamin D: an Endocrine Society scientific statement. (2012, background): “Inactivating mutations in the hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets result in hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets (8).”
Testing the thermal melanism hypothesis: a macrophysiological approach (2008, background): “…in reflectance remaining after taking the effects of solar radiation into account, such as biologically active UV radiation (see e.g. Porter 1967; Jablonski & Chaplin 2000 for a human example), or differences in behaviour, would require a data set incorporating a much larger number of…”
European hair and eye color: A case of frequency-dependent sexual selection? (2006, background): “Men and women differ in complexion because of differing amounts of melanin and cutaneous blood flow; in short, women are fairer, men browner and ruddier (Edwards & Duntley, 1939; Frost, 1988; Frost, 2005; Hulse, 1967; Jablonski & Chaplin, 2000 ).”
The Genetics of Human Adaptation: Hard Sweeps, Soft Sweeps, and Polygenic Adaptation (2010, positive): “Dark pigmentation is strongly associated with tropical climates, and the spread of prehistoric humans into northern latitudes was accompanied by a shift to lighter skin color [13,14].”
The Evolution of Human Skin and Skin Color (2004, methodology): “…limb proportions and striding bipedalism, which occurred in the transition from the primitive hominins of the late Miocene to the genus Homo of the Plio-Pleistocene (Chaplin et al. 1994; Folk & Semken 1991; Jablonski & Chaplin 2000; Montagna 1981; Schwartz & Rosenblum 1981; Wheeler 1984, 1996).”
A Physical Model of Human Skin and its Application for Search and Rescue (2012, methodology): “The selection of D (λ = 685nm) is based on work by Jablonski and Chaplin [33] who identify melanin as the dominating chromophore specifically at that wavelength, and use it in defining skin color for indigenous people from different regions of the world.”
Beyond "Pink It and Shrink It" Perceived Product Gender, Aesthetics, and Product Evaluation (2015, background): “Women generally have lighter skin than men (Jablonski & Chaplin, 2000), which leads to the assumption that lighter colors are perceived as feminine while darker colors are perceived as masculine.”
Facial Contrast Is a Cross-Cultural Cue for Perceiving Age (2017, background): “This general question contains two parts: does the decrease of facial contrast observed with age generalize to women of different races or ethnicities, and do people from different cultures use facial contrast as a cue for perceiving the age of the face? Despite the variation in skin color between r”
