> Eskimo and other aboriginal groups You do realize they only migrated to the far north within the last 4000 or so years right? They're also significantly pal

  Again, your dates are badly wrong. You might want to research this subject before you comment on it. In terms of the Eskimo and other aboriginal people who migrated into or across Beringia, the relevant dates would be: "It is believed that a small human population of at most a few thousand arrived in Beringia from eastern Siberia during the Last Glacial Maximum before expanding into the settlement of the Americas sometime after 16,500 years Before Present (YBP). This would have occurred as the American glaciers blocking the way southward melted, but before the bridge was covered by the sea about 11,000 YBP." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beringia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beringia This is extremely far north, as far north as 78.0 latitude, so again, you cannot put together a coherent theory that maps skin color to latitude in any simple way, therefore you need some additional theory, beyond UV rays, to explain the unique whiteness of northern Europeans.

    First of all, the date people first crossed the Bering straight isn't the genesis of the Inuit people. The rest of the Americas were colonised first, probably because the arctic is so inhospitable. Proto-Inuit culture only appeared a few thousand years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thule_people https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thule_people
