> boosted by from inflammatory effects of UV damage
That wording supports a notion that the boosting is to encourage the most essential activity of a species—reproduction—in the face of potential harms that may shorten the opportunity for that activity (cancer-induced final exit).
That said, I’m aware of counterarguments to the simplistic takes on “sun bad” messaging and think they have merit. Not trying to open a debate on the latter, just clarifying that I’m not trying to grind an ax with the first paragraph.
- sdwr 4y agoThats what came to my mind too.
- whatshisface 4y agoThere's no way that we evolved to chemically respond to an effect that takes fifty years to happen.
- AuthorizedCust 4y agoEvolution is a long tail game. Over eons, any mutation conferring an increased likelihood of sustainable reproduction can “win”, including this one.

- treeman79 4y agoSun exposure causes a severe inflammatory exposure for me. Spent a day at the beach and it was 7 months of burning nerve pain before I got it calmed down. Side effect of autoimmune Sjogrens. I don’t go out if UV is above a 2 anymore.
- ramblerman 4y agoThat seems a bit simplistic of an interpretation when there are no similar effect for dehydration, hunger, loss of a limb, or other potential harms. Many animals are seasonal. And extra sun exposure might indicate a good time to mate (spring/summer)
- AuthorizedCust 4y agoYour example harms have an immediate effect. Sun exposure usually does not.
