Melanin is often reduced to “skin color,” but the truth is far deeper.
In this episode from The Chamber of Knowledge, we explore the real science, history, and systems behind melanin—what it does, why it matters, and why it has been studied, exploited, and commodified for centuries.
Melanin is biological protection.
It absorbs radiation.
It shields DNA.
It plays a role in vision, hearing, and neurological function.
And historically, its value didn’t go unnoticed.
From slavery-era pseudoscience and medical exploitation to modern pharmaceutical and technological research, Black bodies—and the melanin within them—were treated as resources instead of human lives.
This is not mythology.
This is documented history, science, and systemic erasure.
The Chamber of Knowledge exists to archive what was hidden, challenge what was distorted, and preserve what was passed down through lived and oral history.
