Why Inuit Are Dark Skinned ?

Why Inuit Are Dark Skinned ?
A question I have heard asked is if light skin is better at vitamin D absorption in more northern climates then why are Inuit dark skinned? The reason is simply the Inuit diet is rich in vitamin D thus there was no need for the Inuit to develop pale skin. It's actually a very interesting example of evolution developing two Adaptations to help the populous survive in a similar environment. Caucasians developed light skin to increase Vitamin D Absorption and Inuits and other northern dark-skinned peoples had diets that provided the Vitamin D they needed.
