Human skin color is a polygenic trait, which means that multiple gene loci (with different alleles) are involved in its expression. Because of this, there is an enormous number of possible genotypes for the skin color and as a result, the phenotypes vary from the darkest brown to the lightest hues.

Hope this helped my darling!
