Why do African-Americans have lighter skin on their palms and feet than on the rest of their body?

Why do African-Americans have lighter skin on their palms and feet? I realise it is genetics, but why and how did this trait develop? Please note that I am asking out of curiosity and no racism is intended in any way.
Why is melanin unable to occur/appear here?
