Induction of lactase in response to lactose in the diet is an adaptive response of an individual to its environment. The ability to keep lactase active into adulthood is an evolutionary adaptation of mostly northern European populations.

The ability to induce melanin in the skin in response to sunlight is the adaptive response of an individual to its environment. The amount of melanin in the skin as a base-line is an evolutionary adaptation of a population to balance the needs for vitamin D synthesis and protection from the sun.
