    Don’t forget that childhood blond hair that turns brunette with adulthood is a different gene than blond ‘persistence’ into adulthood.

    Blonde hair makes me think of carefree summers at the beach when I was a child. Because hair turns blonde in the sun, it symbolises summer and warmth. In high school, we all lightened our hair as it brought back happy summer memories.

      Actually most Europeans could care less about blonde hair and blue eyes and the worshiping of blonde hair and blue eyes comes from people whose families are more swarthy and dark and do not carry those beautiful genes and must possess it because they feel of lower status. And just like Barbie, Ken is also the ultimate in male beauty with this blonde hair and blue eyes. Nothing dark about him.

      Its the same in Britain, many children have blonde or light brown hair, but when they reach adulthood, their hair can sometimes change to brown or black. Also the term 'flaxen' has been traditionally used to describe children or people with that blonde to light brown hair. I only found out recently, why 'flaxen' was used to described that. It was because when the plant flax, is harvested and processed, the long fibres have the look of that light sandy brown / blonde colour. Peoples hair was often described as looking like it. The flax industry in the UK declined rapidly from the 1950s. So most people wont even know what that means now.

The eastern Vikings, who mainly came from what is today Sweden, travelled down many of the large rivers into what is today, eastern Europe and Russia. Down to the Black Sea. Infact their descents started many of the early states in these regions. They were called the Rus and gave their name to Russia and Belarus. Though Im sure blonde hair and blue eyes, which is common in those regions, didnt just come from these vikings.

    Blonde Hair And Blue Eyes
    Both adaptions to low ambient Ultra Violet levels at the earths surface.
    Blonde hair the light reflected from snow can penetrate Blonde Hair to reach the skull on the skin to increase Vitamin D3 levels.
    Increased Vitamin D3 levels will result in a stronger immune system.
    Pregnant women also require higher Vitamin D3 levels for the pregnancy to reach full term thus new born infants will be healthier with a higher probability of surviving childhood due to a stronger immune system when they are born.
    Blonde hair will confer a survival advantage in regions with very low ambient Ultra Violet levels at ground level.
    Maternity problems experienced by black women and women with dark skin in Northern Europe and in Britain and Ireland within the Atlantic Climate Zone are due to very low Vitamin D3 levels and often zero Vitamin D3 levels not racist medical staff.
    Without the modern Western standard of living black women and women with dark skin would not be able to have children in Northern Europe and in Britain and Ireland within the Atlantic Climate Zone are due to very low Vitamin D3 levels and often zero Vitamin D3 levels.
    The negative health issues of women covering their skin all the time by wearing traditional clothing, specifically for pregnant women have never been touched upon by the medical profession and this is an issue of grave concern and must be addressed immediately.
    Blonde hair is an adaption that increases Vitamin D3 levels conferring a survival advantage on those with blonde hair especially for pregnant women and children whose mothers have blonde hair thus blonde has proliferated and remained within the population.
    Sexual selection of blonde hair is something that I personally do not agree with.
    Grey Eyes ---- Blue Eyes ---- Green Eyes
    Density Of Cloud Cover and Density Of Precipitation and Type Of Precipitation
    Cloud cover reduces ambient Ultra Violet at ground level by the droplets that clouds are made of blocking Ultra Violet light.
    Denser the cloud cover the higher the percentage of Ultra Violet UBV light blocked.
    Volume of precipitation is a constant however type of precipitation is a variable.
    Grey Eyes --- Extreme North dense cloud cover dense mist micro droplets.
    Blue Eyes --- Far north dense cloud cover dense mist mini droplets.
    Green Eyes --- North dense cloud cover dense rain droplets.
    The smaller the droplet the greater the percentage of Ultra Violet UVB in sunlight that is blocked.
    The size of the droplet is the variable that dictates ambient UVB at ground level thus controls eye colour pigmentation being melanin in the eye.
    The lower the Ultra Violet UVB at ground level and the lower the sunlight at ground level thus eyes with depigmentation being less melanin confer an advantage.
    This is what we witness from the map of European eye colour and blonde hair dispersal in Europe.
    ====
    Ginger Hair R1b L21 MC1R
    Ginger hair proliferates within the Atlantic Climate Zone.
    The further West within the Atlantic Climate Zone the higher the percentage of ginger hair within the population.
    Dense cloud cover dense precipitation and the precipitation is statistically a dense drizzle of mini droplets.
    Eastern Europeans living in Ireland comment the rain is not like normal rain but a dense drizzle of mini droplets that at times lasts for weeks on end.
    Within the Atlantic Climate Zone blue eyes will proliferate and this is what we witness.
    Ginger hair consistency is different to other hair type,
    Individual hair strands are finer but the hair follicles are more dense.
    The bandwidth of UVB that can penetrate the very dense cloud cover and very very dense drizzle of mini droplets can also penetrate Ginger Hair to reach the skin on the skull to increase Vitamin D3 levels.
    Thus with Ginger hair have higher Vitamin D3 levels than other hair types thus Ginger Hair confers a survival advantage for the population specifically pregnant women with Ginger hair and newborn infants whose mothers have Ginger Hair due to higher Vitamin D3 levels than other hair types when the infant is born.
    ====
    R1b L21 Ginger Hair MC1R
    Even without Ginger Hair R1b L21 proliferates within the Atlantic Climate Zone and this is due to depigmentation of the skin being less melanin in the skin enabling this sub-clade R1b L21 to produce Vitamin D3 more effiecntly within the low ambient Ultra Violet levels of the Atlantic Climate Zone.
    Geographic distribution density of R1b and R1a in Europe correlates with cloud density and volume of precipitation.
    Significance of wind speed lowering temperatures from wind chill within the Atlantic Climate Zone.
    Atlantic Storms can at times be like mini hurricanes thus lowering the temperature from wind chill.
    Is this influencing eye colour and/or hair colour being Ginger Hair within the Atlantic Climate Zone?

    Some... 20 years ago. I was having a drink at the bar of my hotel in Fès, Morocco. The waiter was a young man, very tall (about 1.95 m, 6'5''), slender, blonde and with blue eyes. I was absolutely certain that he was Scandinavian, so I asked him were he was from and what he was doing in Fès. It turned out he was a local, coming from a little mountain village about 20 km from Fès. He was a Chleuh berber... and sure enough, he confirmed that many people in his village were tall, blonde and with blue eyes!
    Well. it seems that some centuries ago, the migration went in another direction than it does nowadays! It also means that these berber population did not mix much with the Arabs, who came much later. Otherwise, those recessive genes would express themselves only very occasionally nowadays.

    The lightest population in prehistoric and pre-Indo-European Europe was the Globular Amphora and Funnelbeaker cultures - they already had around 25% blond hair/blue eyed phenotype. How? Both from Scandinavian Hunter-Gatherers and from Early European Farmers. Because it takes two to tango - namely, EEF had the alleles for light skin which neither WHG nor EHG had. Selective pressure or selective breeding also helped. Guy from Andrei DNA channel who analyses the DNA of fossils made a lot of videos about it.

Anthony's The Horse, The Wheel, and Language (congrats, btw, for that book's so big it has its own Congressman) will remember him likening the process to franchising. Adopt the sky gods, patrilineal descent, and other central concepts of Indo-European culture, and you get all the goodies like horses, chariots, arsenical bronze, etc. I suppose it could've been that the material culture spread faster, and the genes took time to catch up. Proto-Germanic has some features that suggest a second wave of Indo-Europeanization. This would definitely complicate things.

Some years ago my family and I visited Iceland and Norway. Everywhere we went people would begin talking to my son and I in their native language. When we explained that we were American the first thing we were asked was if we had Scandinavian ancestry which we certainly did. (My paternal grandfather’s family was Danish.). Both my son and I automatically felt at home in these countries even though we’d never been to either of them before. My husband, who is also tall, blonde and blue eyed, felt badly because nobody assumed that he was Scandinavian. When he asked a dear Norwegian friend we met up with in Oslo why this was so, our friend said that he looked German and not Scandinavian.

All the men (dad-grandpa-uncles) in my family are 6f 2in- to 6f 6in , us girls are 5ft-7in to 6ft . I figured it the mix of the Scandinavian, Danelaw , and alot of Slavic people have blonde/blue combo. We have a few that are short, oilve skin tone brown eyes an thick black hair , the family joke is that the gypsies left them on our doorstep 😂

Mom is blonde with blue eyes and older sister is brunnete with blue eyes. The height, tendency to be tall, is really dominant here, regardless of the hair color or eyes color. Half of my friends and cousins are either much taller than me or they are at least similar height. Green eyes are very present here regardless if dark green or light green.

      What's western Europe? Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Belgium, Ireland? And no they aren't quite common. At all. As this map clearly showed it. They are the MOST common in northern Russia, Belarus, Poland, Baltics, Nordic and Scandinavian region, Iceland, partly Benelux, especially Netherlands, partly France, partly UK and Ireland. So, no. Nothing exclusive to "western Europe" whatever that should mean. In the OVERALL numbers Slavs are the majority of blonde people of Europe. There's LOADS of such people in Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Czechia, Slovakia, ex Yugoslavia region, Bulgaria. Tens and tens of millions.

    One other attribute that's common in Northern Europe is VERY pale skin (obviously also related to melanin production and presumably, like blue eyes and blond hair, recessive genes).
    I recall some speculation that this might have evolved as an adaptation to both the wide availability of sea-based foods and a much-reduced ability to experience intense solar radiation even during (short) summers.
    Perhaps there is some common genetic mechanism being selected for in the case of both hair and skin colour (and conceivably eye colour).
