Whales can get sunburnt too, actually, any animal with little hair can.
Elephants and pigs cover themselves with mud to protect their skin, so I guess using "DR" Silver's logic, they mustn't belong here either, is earth a prison planet for misbehaving whales too??

To those that think we are nothing more than matter and circuits, how about you volunteer for a little experiment. Goes like this. We clone you exactly as you are, you say you are nothing more than flesh and blood, right? So we kill the original you and let the cloned "you" continue to live your life. Do you experience what this clone sees and does? Would you like to try it? I'm sure the clone would try as hard as it could to convince us that it is you, that it just took part in the experience. You won't see from BOTH clones, now would you?

Maybe we arrived on earth in a giant alien ark along with the animals.....
Animals can and do get sunburned. Sunburn is caused by ultraviolet (mainly UV-B) rays (in this case from the sun) damaging cells in exposed skin. Cell death occurs and fluid accumulates leading to blistering with subsequent peeling of the outermost layers of dead skin. To some extent, this process is protective because it removes the possibility of severely affected cells from multiplying and passing along damaged DNA. If such cells persist in the deeper layers of the skin, they can develop into various forms of skin cancer, often years later. Some of these are very dangerous.
Just as clothing and shade protect against sunburn in humans, the coats of animals such as dense hair and wool do the same. Animals with very little hair covering such as pigs and their relatives, hippopotamuses and warthogs are particularly at risk and they often coat themselves with mud to act as a sunscreen. Rhinoceroses use the same strategy and elephants give themselves dust-baths. Light-colored animals, newly shorn sheep and other animals that are clipped can suffer from sunburn and the parts of animals that normally lack hair cover can be sunburned
Dr Ellis said the book is intended to create debate, instead of being a scientific study and hopes it will lead to people getting in touch with him with further suggestions of 'evidence'. Read more: www.dailymail.co.uk... Follow us: @MailOnline on Twitter | DailyMail on Facebook

So I guess the Aliens brought Rhinos, Elephants and Pigs to Earth too?
Compared to most mammals, humans are relatively bald. We're certainly the most hairless of the primates. Only a handful of other mammals are as sparsely covered with body hair, including elephants and rhinoceroses. Since elephants and rhinos spend a lot of time submerged in water to stay cool, having little hair makes sense. In exchange, they have thicker skin to prevent too much heat from escaping their bodies.

Humans do NOT come from Earth – and sunburn, bad backs and pain during labour prove it, expert claims
www.dailymai l.co.uk
(visit the link for the full news article)A U.S. ecologist has claimed that humans are not from Earth but were put on the planet by aliens tens of thousands of years ago. ...
- A U.S. ecologist says conditions such as bad backs and sunburn suggest humans did not evolve alongside other life on Earth
- In a new book, Dr Ellis Silver says aliens put humans our planet as recently as tens of thousands of years ago
- He suggests the Earth might be a prison planet, since humans seem to be a naturally violent species and are here until we learn to behave ourselves
‘Mankind is supposedly the most highly developed species on the planet, yet is surprisingly unsuited and ill-equipped for Earth's environment: harmed by sunlight, a strong dislike for naturally occurring foods, ridiculously high rates of chronic disease, and more,’ he told Yahoo. ...
Dr Ellis said many people feel that they don’t belong and feel at home on Earth. ...

I do find it relativly strange that if humans evolved in africa, why dont we all have dark complexity?
Why would the europeans eventualy become pale just by leaving. is there some biological reason behind that?
Dark colours get hotter in the sun than bright ones, so why did the inhabitants of the hottest climate be dark
and the ones that vent to a colder climate where sucking as much sun as possible would seem beneficial lost the colour
over time?
We do get sun in europe, and what about the eskimos they are also dark skinned, but i guess not due to heat or the sun.
