Human Skin Didn't Always Fear The Sun, Not Until A Huge Change 10,000 Years Ago [View all]
Excellent introductory article by Dr. Nina Jablonski, too much to encapsulate in 4 paragraphs. It's more accessible than her lectures since it doesn't delve into things like molecular biology.

This might be a gateway drug, her online lectures are wonderful as she neatly torpedoes "race" based on skin color.
