Why Do Some People Get Freckles? [ID0929]

Why do some people get freckles while others never seem to? Are freckles just sun spots, or are they written into your DNA? And why do they get darker in summer but fade when the weather cools down? In this episode of History of Simple Things, we break down the real science behind freckles. From melanin and UV radiation to the powerful role of the MC1R gene, you’ll discover how genetics and sunlight work together to create those tiny brown dots. We also explore the difference between freckles and moles, whether freckles are a sign of skin damage, and what they reveal about human evolution and migration. Freckles may look simple, but they tell a deeper story about how your body protects itself, how your ancestors adapted to different climates, and why no two skin patterns are exactly the same. ⏳ Timestamps: 0:03 – Why Do Some People Get Freckles? 1:07 – What Exactly Is a Freckle? 2:25 – How Sunlight Triggers Freckles 3:30 – The Genetics Behind Freckling 4:57 – Are Freckles Harmful? 5:56 – Can You Prevent Freckles? 6:30 – Cultural Perception of Freckles 7:12 – The Evolutionary Story Behind Freckles If you enjoy uncovering the hidden science behind everyday features and simple things we often overlook, make sure to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications so you don’t miss future episodes. #Freckles #SkinScience #Melanin #Genetics #HumanBiology #Sunlight #MC1R #Dermatology #HistoryOfSimpleThings Video edited by: Daniela C.
