What is this thing called skin? The Skin is the largest organ in the human body. Skin follows anthropologist Nina Jablonski into the African Savanah as she tries to determine the origin of skin, how it's evolved over time, and why we have different skin color.

Witness an ongoing scientific study that shows how skin is important to attraction through chemistry. Follow two photographers—one trying to prove through his photographs that skin is beautiful everywhere, by encouraging people to be rid of their inhibitions; the other traveling the world to document cultures who revere skin through the ancient art of body decoration.
