In the interest of dispelling myths - Melanin: As well as the CENTER OF YOUR BRAIN, Melanin IS in organs all over the human body and it DOES exist in greater amounts consistent (generally) with the amount of melanin 'visible' in the epidermis. Also finally, YES it DOES MATTER and makes a profound difference! Read, further, this brief info and let additional realizations and implications arise. Melanin is clearly visible in animals as in the skin, hair, fur, choroids, eyes, scales, feathers, cuticle. Melanin is also found in non-visible anatomic parts like the substantia nigra of the human brain and the locus coeruleus and the liver, and it accumulates in pathological forms in melanoma. (skin cancer which occurs primarily in people with a significant deficiency of this polymer.) Melanin is an insoluble heterogeneous black material which is difficult to purify and characterise by organic chemistry methods, but it can be purified and characterised with the methods of nanochemistry and especially with that of solid state nanophysics. Melanin is an Organic Semiconductor! The conductivity can be of the metallic type, semiconductor or superconductor type. They can give charge-transfer complexes and present the phenomena of threshold switching. They are sensitive to radiation and transmit sound waves in a special way. Because of their electrical properties the melanins can be considered an auxilliary means of communication between tissue and the central nervous system. * Aside from certain third-party specualtion and opinions transcribed within this website, you will find a surplus of illuminating informations about: MELANIN - which is corroborated with facts and information concluded by the Melanin Research done in Naples since western science began it's research of melanin in Naples, 1904, with M.Bakuninas' paper on melanoma-melanin, L.Panizzi's sepiomelanin work published in 1952 and past work carried out in Naples (1956-1980) and possible due to the callaborations of chemists and biologists of University of Naples, Aberdeen, Newcastle upon Tyne, Stanford, Manchester, ICMIB of CNR of Naples; This information is also consistent with the research of Rodolfo Alessandro Nicolaus. HISTORY - which is corroborated with facts and information based upon the research of individuals such as Cheikh Anta Diop and Zecharia Sitchin.
