Summary

Description

English: "Distribution of the varying intensity of skin colour" (Distribuzione della Varia Intensità del Colore della Pelle), data for native populations collected by R. Biasutti prior to 1940.

Jablonski NG, Chaplin G. 2000. The evolution of skin coloration. J. Hum. Evol. 39:57–106

The best known of these maps is that composed by the Italian geographer Renato Biasutti, which was based on von Luschan's chromatic scale. This map has gained broad circulation in several widely distributed publications (Barsh 2003, Lewontin 1995, Roberts 1977, Walter 1971), despite the fact that, for areas with no data, Biasutti simply filled in the map by extrapolation from findings obtained in other areas [1].

History on Wikimedia: Based on File:Map of skin color distribution.gif (uploaded as fair use image 2 November 2004, deleted 6 November 2005), a scan of a reproduction by by Dennis O'Neil of the map "Distribuzione della Varia Intensità del Colore della Pelle" in Renato Biasutti, Le Razze e i Popoli della Terra: Volume Primo--Razze, Popoli e Culture (1959).

Recolored it in accordance with File:Felix von Luschan Skin Color chart.svg.

Reflectance spectrophotometry is a much more modern way of measurement of human skin color. See Jablonski's work.
