Summary

This is a derivative work of Map of skin hue equi.png for "Data for native populations collected by R. Biasutti prior to 1940".

Use with caution; The best known of these maps is that composed by the Italian geographer Renato Biasutti, which was based on von Luschan's chromatic scale. This map has gained broad circulation in several widely distributed publications (Barsh 2003, Lewontin 1995, Roberts 1977, Walter 1971), despite the fact that, for areas with no data, Biasutti simply filled in the map by extrapolation from findings obtained in other areas[1].

Plate carrée projection, coastal outline based on Earth_satellite_plane.jpg.

Biasutti data copied manually from Map of skin color distribution.gif.

The map's intended use is in articles dealing with the history of the notion of race, and it should not be used as an up-to-date reference.

Recolored it in accordance with Felix von Luschan Skin Color Chart.JPG.

The original map was off since it made-up red and green colors to distinguish human skin color. This made it seem like some people had green skin color. My map uses the actual skin colors Luschan measured. It is unlabeled because I plan to use it in a template with floating labels.

The improved map is in Jablonski NG, Chaplin G. 2000. The evolution of skin coloration. J. Hum. Evol. 39:57–106.

The map is now labeled.

Reflectance spectrophotometry is a much more modern way of measurement of human skin color. See Jablonski's work archive copy at the Wayback Machine.
