You take the person and flay them and spread their skin out on a skin areometer. Since the skin is not square you use a polar planimeter on the skin after stretching it. You can count the pores with a scanning electron microscope. Seriously? Blacks have very fine wrinkles in their skin that are hard to see. They make the extra skin area for the same dimension of limb. Literally the folds magnify the skin area by 50%. Also their pores are 50% more numerous per square inch so they can lose more heat by evaporation of water. The extra melanin allows them to radiate internally generated heat more efficiently as well. It is for these same reasons that all hot water radiators are painted black and fridges are painted white. The people with the whitest skin in the human race are the Irish, who also have the greatest amount of cilia hair of any race. They are also the tallest, so that the ratio of their skin area to weight is the least. It follows that these people are adapted to the coldest climate of any race. It is either that or the least clothes, as Ireland is not that cold a land. EC<:-}
