Human beings have been living in europe for over 100,000 years. White skin doesn't seem to be older than a 10,000 years (see the skin analysis of the first briton). I don't think it would have taken so much time to evolve white skin had it really had the importance that is being attributed to it nowadays. I am very skeptical about its importance on preventing not only covid but also many other deseases.

- dragonwriter 5y ago> Anything that kills you mostly only after prime child-birthing years does not matter to evolution That's...very much not true. Any disease that doesn't effect the chances of children closely related to the exposed person being born and surviving to adulthood does not matter much to evolution, but killing the exposed person before or during prime childbearing years isn't the only way to effect that.
