Guest is correct. I/we is used as a sentence subject. Me/us is used as a sentence object. Very common mistake.

For those interested, here are a few papers I found:
Genetic and Environmental Factors in Skin Color Determination https://www.researchgate.net/publication/320234941_Genetic_and_Environmental_Factors_in_Skin_Color_Determination
Sexual selection and human geographic variation https://www.researchgate.net/publication/228353785_Sexual_selection_and_human_geographic_variation

Ah, I see. I am using the term sexual preference as it relates to sexual selection - i.e. the preference of certain characteristics within the opposite sex which ultimately drives natural selection. My point was that the skin color gradient is not purely driven by adaptation to UV radiation - although that is most definitely a driving factor (many papers on this topic). Skin color also seems to be strongly influenced by sexual selection within populations. It is an interesting topic to me as an archaeology student :-)

I don't know why you're downvoting me, I have read anthropological studies that have shown clearly that more than simple geographical adaptation is going on. There are lighter people closer to the equator and darker farther away. There is an aspect of sexual preference involved.

I think this graph may be oversimplifying the data. Skin colour is very strongly affected by sexual preference, not only geography.

What?? I've never received a text that my blood saved someone's life! They're damned prompt however about reminding me to donate when I'm a day past the minimum interim time. Leeches.
