The cradle of humankind is generally though to be northern Africa.
We may have adapted to surviving in cold climates but that's not where our roots are.
You believe northern Africa always had the same climate?
Nordics have definitely evolved for cold weather. Most whites and Asians evolved white skin to help synthesize vitamin D from scarce sunlight. Africans evolved dark skin to avoid synthesizing too much vitamin D, which can be toxic.
