can a individual darken in the african heat because i'm from somalia and it was very hot there so i'm assuming it's quiet hot in other african countries so i was asking can a individual get a black skin colour while laying in the african heat i'm sure a white person can't get a black skin colour from the african heat but what about a somali who has a dark brown skin colour can he or she get a black dark skin colour in the african heat also since the black skin colour is different with us african's does the countries sun mean anything to give the black skin while laying out their. reply please thanks.
