Those make sense to me, but I'll be honest with you, where I struggle is with the idea of sunscreen. How did our ancestors live outside constantly without any sunscreen but if I'm outside for more than 2 hours in the summer without it I come home looking like a burnt lobster?

I'm sure the answer is that I'm ignorant, or the "natural causes" of yesteryear were really just undiagnosed skin cancer or something, but I have to admit it does seem like a real negative adaptation here from the viewpoint of my uneducated mind.

Well there is that protective layer in the atmosphere that we fucked up.

The ozone layer is slowly healing itself, but we still have a long way to go before it is stable again.

Also as others pointed out, we don't work the fields and spend most of our time outside any more....so the natural protection isn't building up like it did in the past.

Maybe people didn't live long enough for skin cancer to make a difference?

So I'm no expert, so take this with a grain of salt, but it's my understanding that while average ages were much lower in the past, this number is heavily skewed by infant mortalities and deaths due to preventable disease. As I understand it, the expected age of an otherwise healthy individual was pretty comparable to us today. More people died young, but those who didn't lived about as long as us. So I don't think not living long enough for skin cancer to take effect really jives with my understanding of history.

But again, I'm not an expert and the likelihood that I'm just an idiot who is wildly misunderstanding things is, frankly, high.

Still better than getting the vaccines that cause you to eat the Bill Gates Fake Peach Tree dish meat.
