More like 80,000.

Evolution doesn’t stop. People adapted to their environment. The indigenous skin tone of every area has a 1:1 correlation with [the average sunlight of an area](https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/44y90h/annual_sunshine_hours_map_of_the_world_2753_1400/). There’s a reason Sherpas are better in the mountains than you.

But now everyone sits indoors too much. Go get some more vitamin D one way or another.
