A stabilizing selection is a type of natural selection in which the selective forces/pressures such as a favor for dark-skinned against strong sunlight compared to light-skinned individuals resulted in the decrease of population's genetic variance stabilizing on a median non-extreme phenotype/trait and when average phenotypes/traits are in favor against extreme variations.
