All you wondering about skin cancer back in the ancient times: remember the average lifespan was somewhere between 30 and 40 years up until the Industrial Age, so they probably didn't have time to develop skin cancer before they kicked the bucket. And then the working class was mostly stuck in factories and offices all day year around. So the right to vacation and the prolonged average lifespan is to be blamed for the increase of skin cancer as well.

Me, I wear clothes and stay in the shade, generally, and when I have to be out in the sun and work I slather myself with SPF 45. My smooth, soft skin is the envy of all my peers.
