Abstract
⺠In 40 species of wild vertebrates, darker pigmented individuals are more aggressive and sexually active. ⺠Cross fostering studies and pharmacological dose manipulations establish the role of the melatonin system. ⺠We review the human literature within and between populations and find similar relationships with pigmentation. ⺠Darker individuals average higher levels of crime, sexual activity including HIV/AIDS, and lower IQ.
