I’ve read that East Asians developed slanted eyes or Epicanthic Folds as a way to adapt to snow blindness in the more snowy and colder regions of Asia, and I was wondering why Northern Europeans, specifically Germanic and Nordic people that lived in the colder regions of Northern Europe, didn’t develop the same genetic trait or at least something similar to it.

Different traits randomly appear in any given population, and stay if they help the population survive in that particular environment. (That only beneficial or neutral traits survive, no matter how convulated or non-intuitive, make the random traits that do survive erroneously seem, to a casual observer, like an intelligent designer) This particular trait probably never appeared in Northern Europeans, and/or they had/have another trait that compensates.
