A graphic of a global map that depicts a spectrum of skin tones and reads, "Geography--not race--explains skin-color variation. Jablonski and her collaborator, George Chaplin, created a map that predicts human skin colors based on annual UVR rates and other environmental factors. The map's predictions pretty closely parallel how skin colors are actually distributed." This map is featured in the Museum of Us "Race: Are We So Different?" exhibit.
