Yesterday's issue of Science magazine, and this article in the 16 December NY Times report that a major determinant of skin color is a single gene which has been located
reportedly 99 pecent of European caucasians have one allele, one variant of the gene, and some 93 percent of subsaharan Africans have another variant.
I haven't seen the Science article, maybe someone who has can make this more precise. What I see in the NY Times doesn't quite make sense to me and I would like to hear some elaboration.
