In most temperate and (sub)polar regions of the world, the indigenous people have evolved relatively pale skin, due to lack of sunlight needed for the body to produce Vitamin D. I'm aware that Inuits aren't as pale as Europeans, but even they could hardly be said to have black skin. I was just wondering if the native peoples of Tasmania were also considerably paler than their mainland cousins, given that Tasmania annually receives roughly the same amount of sunlight as, say, Central France, and if they didn't, why not? I have seen pictures of people like Truganini etc, but obviously it's very hard to tell skin colour from black-and-white photos from the 19th Century.
