The whole fertile crescent area used to have lots of vegetation, the land of milk and honey and so on but I really doubt that the Sun caused much of it to turn to desert. It was most likely caused by environmental rape by the ancient civilizations.
You're also mixing up Darwinian and Larmarckian evolution. While living under neon lights might affect our skin, it certainly won't affect our children's skin. The only way it would would be if pale and pasty skinned people had more children than other people.
Right on virus, I noticed that too, Jesus takes on the appearance of whoever is worshipping him. I guess it's just more comforting to have your savior look like you instead of some other race.
Sorry to go off topic.
