To some extent, isn't the whether lighter female skin colour is environmental or geoehic/tnrmonal in origin kind of irrelevant to sexual selection?If women had lighter skin historically, across the evolutionary history (due to lesser exposure - e.g. boys got tans and girls didn't, due to men being out in the sun a lot), then that could still be the subject of selection by males...It's true that if it is genetic / hormonal in origin, then it is more plausible to suggest it as true across the EEA / selective environment, but it does not render sexual selection implausible.  |
