OK I'VE HAD ONE TOO MANY SAMPLES OF LOCAL WINE PRODUCT SO THIS SHOULD BE INTERESTING. (hic)
Lets speed up evolution OK?
sun cancer is both instant and deadly.
I select 100 people at absolute random...the entire genetic pool for our purpose. At the start each persons DNA occupies 1%
Now we expose them to the sun, some die, say 10%. The remainder we bring back into the shade and let them pro-create.
Now we expose the population to the sun again...

####I understand the rational for achieving result where the survivors would have dark skin. But this was in "Dodgy Greg's Skin Radiation Clinic" and not the real world.
In the real world if the global population is exposed to the potentially harmfull UVA/UVB skin cancer can result on the fairer complexions.
The point is research has shown that when circumstances change the organisms environment the organism can over a series of generations can comes up with ways to compensate/counter these changes in environmental pressures.
In terms of your experiment I would say that in real world melanin production would be stimulated in response to increased sun intensity. Our bodies would I believe come up with what was necessary to protect us (if that is possible) from the harmful rays and this MAY mean we'd become dark skinned.
Greg I have to dig out research details but please take my word for it - everything I state is very well considered and evident in various studies but explained as :microevolution" etc.
In the earlier centuries, 6th-7th maybe, a war was fought in Japan...All were slain... You can guess the rest. Now all crabs have that marking and ALL crabs are descended from the original few. All the others were caught and eaten.
HUMANS HAVE BEEN MORE A FACTOR IN DETERMING THE SURVIVAL OF MOST SPECIES THAN ANY THING LIKE "natural selection/survival of the fittest". WE HAVE UN-NATURAL SELECTION - FOR HUMAN AND NON-HUMAN ALIKE. SO LUCKY FOR CRABS IF THEY WERE CONSIDERED APHRODISIACS IT WOULD BE THE OPPOSITE STORY.
In England at the time of the industrial revolution, in Birminham or some such industrial city there was a species of white moth.....
THIS ACCOUNT HAS BEEN DISCREDITED - I THINK THE DARK MOTHS WERE FOUND AND NAILED ON TO THE TREES.
(BUT DESIGN INTELLIGENCE COULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A
DARK GENE BEING SWITCHED ON IF IT BECAME NECESSARY)
Why did the darkest person in our original example become the antecedent for the entire population.......
STOP IT ALREADY WITH THE SKIN CANCER ZAPPER EXPERIMENTS
What mechanistic explanation does Design Intelligence give for these scenarios?
