I figure we don't have it, because basically we haven't had the need for it. 100'000 years ago when we were running around in Africa, we were exposed to the sun - all the time. That means we had a pretty good base to withstand the rays of the sun. Besides, we probably covered ourselves in mud (like the elephants), or stayed in the shades during the most intensive hours of the day.
Nowadays, most of us are sitting inside when the sun is up, and we don't gradually build up this tolerance. And then when we have 2 weeks off, we're suddenly laying flat out on some beach somewhere, totally exposed to the sun the entire day. No wonder our skin gets damaged.
Rather then waiting for something to fix skin damage, learn how to avoid damaging your skin in the first place instead.
