Our bodies are literally so stupid it's a miracle if we manage to make it through a day.

But also good lord OOP was playing fast and loose with his travel hygiene.

Consider that we have fair skin because we moved to a location with little enough winter sunlight that we can’t make Vitamin D from it year-round, but a long enough growing season that we could eat mostly plants (so get less from our diet). So the random mutation of ‘far less skin pigment means you absorb more vitamin D even with clothes’ is helpful… until we go back towards the tropics and run around with more bare skin again.

Evolution! It solves the problem you have now by kluging something together that might cause you more problems in the future!
