  That was their point

    No, it’s my point. We see skin tones mapped because all the lighter skin people died out faster than they could reproduce due to UV radiation killing them off sooner in life. Melanin rich individuals are more resilient, but that is not purely because of their skin and tanning won’t give you their power.

      This is some strange magical thinking. "Your tan isn’t doing anything." you say, despite clear evidence that melanin is associated with ancestral UV exposure and how your body develops a tan in response to UV exposure. Now you're suggesting a separate unnamed method of resilience associated with darker skinned people. I guess go ahead and fear the sun, you do you.

        It’s very magical to think a tan is more powerful than the radiation of a burning star.
