We have found, in both human and non-human animals, that
darker pigmentation is associated with higher levels of aggression
and sexuality (and in humans with lower IQ). Lighter pigmentation
is associated with the slow reproductive strategy (K) including
lower birth rates, less infant mortality, less violent crime, less
HIV/AIDS, plus higher IQ, higher income, and greater longevity.
The correlations between human pigmentation, aggression, and
sexuality (and IQ), is further supported by the anthropological and
sociological research on ‘‘pigmentocracies’’ (Lynn & Vanhanen,
2006). A pigmentocracy is a society in which status hierarchies
are based largely on skin color, with lighter skin denoting higher
status and darker skin lower status. Although these are typically
explained by the legacy of slavery and imperialism, and although
cultural and environmental factors undoubtedly play a substantial
role (Rushton & Jensen, 2005), we have focused on genetic pleiotropy to explain the much less known relationship between skin
color and behavior.
Life history theory (LHT) may explain why darker individuals
are more aggressive and sexually active and why these traits covary with longevity, birth rate, infant mortality, speed of maturation, and many other characteristics (Templer, 2008; Templer &
Rushton, 2011). The melanocortin system is a physiological coordinator of pigmentation and life history traits. Skin color provides an
important marker placing hormonal mediators such as testosterone in broader perspective.
We recognize that this paper provides only a first approximation to what may become a workable explanation of melanin and
its correlates.
