Sure, but that could still be consistent with “sunburns bad, suntans fine” theory, I figure. Maybe even if our ancestors were outside all the time, they would still sometimes lose their tan during a cloudy week and get sunburned?
I’m definitely open to the possibility that e.g. people of Scandinavian descent living in Nairobi simply cannot accommodate to the UV exposure by tanning, i.e. even if they are as tanned as they can possibly be, they’ll still get burned, there’s just too much UV. If so, then sunscreen (+ clothes, shade, etc.) is their only option to avoid sunburns, and again everyone agrees that sunburns are bad, both immediately and long-term.
