Wouldn't this be a "good" mutation for those homo sapiens who moved away from equatorial regions toward the polar regions, where the sunlight was weaker (angle, and seasonal day length), thus allowing the more translucent skin to absorb more blue, violet, and ultraviolet light, thus allowing the body to manufacture more Vitamin D than if their skin had been darker?
