Lets call a spade a spade.
There are evolutionary adaptations to the local environment of Northern Europe that Africans lack: light skin, light hair, light eyes.
There are cultural aspects such as the wearing of veils for women.
This has a significant impact on Vitamin D generation from the available sunlight.
https://sunburnmap.com/ https://sunburnmap.com/ - March 2021, a central European city will give saturation-level Vitamin D generation (before redness appears from preliminary sunburn) to a person with light features in 22 minutes, or someone with the darkest features in 1h40 minutes.
Just as Northern Europeans are evolutionarily and culturally poorly adapted to central Africa, so are Africans to Northern Europe.
