Humans have being wearing clothes for about 170,000 years, indoors and outdoors, long enough for a evolutionary response. Along with fire, clothing is one of our great inventions and allows humans to live in colder climates than we could otherwise. We have, along with other creatures like lice, been evolving since we started wearing clothes.

But why do people get more sick in the winter, when they are forced into close proximity with other people, making illness easier to spread, rather than the summer, when people are outdoors more, and can do things like walk to work in the warm summer sun rather than take the bus in the cold winter rain and snow? Stated differently, we naturally do more social distancing in the summer.

Sure, there has been evolution. Like the adaptation of white skin for humans in northern latitudes. Why was it so important to evolve pale skin for humans living in high latitudes?

Social distancing in summer as a reason why people don't get sick is an interesting theory, any studies that support it?
