Light skin has advantages in some climates, dark skin has advantages in others. It depends on where you are living.
This doesn't mean that either shade is superior to the other.
Also, when the story says they found the one gene that controls skin color, I suspect that it only proves one or both of two things.
1) The reporter didn't understand what he was being told.
2) The editor didn't understand what was told to the reporter and edited the story into drivel.
Most likely: both 1) and 2) are true.

This doesn't mean that either shade is superior to the other. If a Republican had said this, he would have been shot within seconds...
