Blond silky hair and blue eyes also offers the most beautiful fine bone structures and perfect defined noses (with exceptions offcourse). It's the ultimate in beauty and is proven by the fact that all women of all races try to mimic it. It is most or every woman's dream to look like a barbie doll. The ones denying that are lying or jealous
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.
@ΑΝΑΣΤΑΣΊΑΜΟΙΡΑ Sure my dear I have brown eyes myself and there are absolutely stunning brown eyed girls but the ultimate in beauty on this earth is what I described above and all honest people has to agree
@@hmvanas234Brown eyes are plain and mousy. Blue eyes are bright and look like gems. Nobody wants to have brown eyes. It’s boring as hell and is what 98% of people on earth have. Like rats.
My absolute favorite. I met a finnish girl and she was like why do you like Finns we are so boring (because I am American) and I told her I love the blue eyes, the pale skin, and the blonde wispy hair. I also like the calm demeanor of Scandinavians compared to my loud and obnoxious fellow countrymen.
Fascinating! In Lebanon we have a minority occurrence of blonde hair and blue eyes. Not nearly as high as in northern Europe, but on par with the West Asia/Levant section of the map you showed at the beginning. The connection between West Asia, Siberia and Western Europe in terms of genetics is really mind blowing and good to know. Thanks for the info.
I would love to know more about red-haired people with blue or green eyes, and how that might be related to the blonde/blue-eyed subject of this video. Thanks. Enjoyed this video.
Yes, and I'd like to know why if a child begins life with ginger hair but over time it fades to blonde or tow. And why a child's auburn hair fades to brown over time. Does a child with both red-haired parents remain red-haired, but if it has 1 brown haired parent's gene dictate that the child's hair will turn to dark brown over time? I always thought the red gene was dominant!

Well you forgot to mention that some are born blonde but later at the start of puberty become brown haired blue eyed, I was blonde until I was 6 or 7 years old and then my hair changed to brown. Now I'm grey-brown blue eyed. ;)
Yeah but then you gray into a weird blondish gray. I myself have dark hair and beard and as I age I get more and more completely random neon red strands. This business is a lot weirder than I imagined as a kid.
My blond hair changed later. In teenage it changed to brown and then very dark brown, still blue eyes. My sister and a younger brother kept their blond hair and blue eyes. But the hair just a little darker as they got older.
It's the ability of every European. I am Yugoslav. 190 cm. Live in one of the hottest cities of Europe. Dirty blond hair, green eyes. I could drink milk instead of the water, easily.
I'm from the north of Belarus. We have a lot of children, blonde and light brown girls. Then some of them darken a little. And many light eyes, and gray and blue-gray and steel-gray. We have a term for a certain hair color, flaxen And I was blond as a child, but became light brown. There is such a color in the Russian language, rusi, many Slavs have it.
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.
@@hakanliljeberg790 Im sure the eastern vikings did travel there. 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. Ive read that these features were already well established there, before the arrival of the vikings.
The Vikings and Saxons have definitely influenced the British isles with hair and eye colour , my town is an old danish settlement and most people are clearly of Saxons and Viking origins
That is more of a stereo image.Like all scots , i've got red hair I need statistics in the archipesa's Like brown hair obviously blue eyes and Viking?

@guleet75 wanted make a joke about a town with the name 'Saxvik' (SAX + VIKings). While looking up I noticed that there are family name combinations with that (Saxvik, Saksvik, Saxvigen, Saxvig), especially used in Norway (but maybe also other parts of Scandinavia, maybe UK etc.) ... I wonder if this really has something to do with Saxons + Vikings, due to the different variations and because the origin of this name is unknown (and there are ten of thousands on one hand, on the other hand its not a huge number compared to most other names which might fit for a certain time period when this combination might have inspired some few people back then ) ....

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? Research project about the significance wind speed within the Atlantic Climate Zone? ======
Excellent! my UA-cam feed hasn't produced your posts for a while. But I really enjoyed this post. One thing about the Denmark 2008 study regarding the 'origin of blue eyes being the Black sea region'. This sort of finding can be defeated by logic: thus if the mutation for blue eyes spontaneously arose sometime in the black sea area, why could it also spontaneously arise elsewhere?
Also the rarest people on earth, blonde hair and blue eyes. I was born with blue eyes and blonde hair but now my hair has gradually darkened into eventually dark brown
Red hair is more rare than blonde hair. Highest concentrations of true ginger hair are in Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and the Udmurts of Russia. Also the Netherlands, Northern France, and Belgium
I wouldn't say they're the rarest people on Earth. Lots of blue-eyed blondes in the local populations of Northern Europe, and also America and Australia.

You actually answered questions I was wondering about. I was wondering about the origin of blond hair, what Scandinavian Hunter gatherers looked like & the origin of the nordic race.
We are of Scottish descent, Mum and Dad had blue eyes and black hair. But my brother and I had blue eyes and blonde hair as adults we became darker blonde, depending on the amount of sun exposure. I really like the blue eye black hair combination thinks it makes the eyes 'pop'
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.
@@st-ex8506 I believe immigration started thousands of years ago and people always mixing! Isn't that great?My mom and dad have brown eyes and brown hair my two grandfathers had green eyes and so does my brother but not me and my sister .Both my grandfathers were Greeks from Anatolia!
@@ΑΝΑΣΤΑΣΊΑΜΟΙΡΑ Of course. Clear eyes are a recessive gene... so a baby with blue eyes can appear in families whose ancestors have had only brown eyes for generations... without any foul play!
@@user-li1gp2jw8k the origin of blonde berber populations of North Africa is an unsolved mystery! There are a number of hypotheses going around… some reasonable like descendants of Vandals, to significantly more far-fetched ones like descendants of Atlantis survivors…, but I have seen no decisive paper on the topic.
There are 2 different gene combinations involved. In Eastern Europe you see a lot of people with dark brown eyes and light blond hair. Very unusual in Western Europe. In Western Europe you see a lot of people with light blue eyes and dark hair. Almost everybody in Ireland has light blue eyes but only a minority have light blonde hair. Scandinavians have both genes...for light eyes and light hair.
I've read that blonde hair people are more fertile as well. I have naturally strawberry blonde hair (colored to look less red and resemble my younger baby blonde hair :) - I have blue eyes with a greenish circle in the middle. My DNA test shows that my mom had pure blue eyes and dad green so I guess that's where I got this mix. I haven't met them as I'm an adoptee but it's nice to know more about ethnicity, the health issues and advantages that comes with DNA and ancestry.
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.
Swedes are mixing with dark skinned and haired foreigners for decades now. Lituanians pretty much didn't up until recently probabyl. Don't know how much invaders they have now
Lol, U must be Asian. You comparing swedes with lithuanians? Look at their children and you'll see the difference, swedish children have almost white hair, Lithuanian children have dark-blond hair. You can see the difference looking football players too. Swedish blond: Lucas Bergvall Lithuanian blond: Vykintas Slivka,
Blood groups and physical traits have only tenuous links, but in England group A is the second commonest group, especially in the east, and the Anglo-Saxon homelands have similarly high percentages of A blood.
Blood group O Negative is thought to be the latest in evolutionary terms, being an adaption to those humans living in tropical areas, to adapt to the Malaria Plasmodium parasite - so actually dark skinned people (N!##@s)😂
both my parents had blue eyes and blond hair, and although i have blue eyes i have light red hair, which i i have been told is some times called "strawberry blond"
My cousin has red hair and blue eyes and her husband has black hair and blue eyes and their children are all blonde with blue eyes. And I know another family where it's exactly the same. Greetings from the Czech Republic.
@@silvieb2024 I think that brown hair is red hair in some cases. I would call it dark red hair. It is a lack of pigment, these people also often have brown eyes and freckles.
Blonde hair and blue or grey eyes were an adaptation to the tundra-steppe of the Ice Age, some 30,000 years ago (very possibly an inheritance from the Neanderthals after interbreeding with them, that is, those who suffered this adaptation were the Neanderthals, which was inherited by the mestizos resulting from their mixture with the Cro-Magnons who lived in the tundra steppe 30,000 years ago).
the Greeks, Norse and other European mythologies claim their gods were typically blonde. If one follows the theory that the gods were ancestors or rulers from the days of old, (Father Zeus/Odin etc) this would collaborate with the theories in this video as well.
Apparently certain groups of extraterrestrials look just like blond people from Scandinavia, hence they're popularly called Nordics. I wonder if the tales of the Norse and Greek 'gods' are based on these people. Anyway, it seems like an awful waste of space if we'd be the only ones.

There is very powerful thread in contemporary society celebrating people of colour. This will lead to the extinction of us fair folks as our genes are recessive. Why are they recessive? Never heard an explanation. But yes we are doomed. Being black is now “beautiful” and “cool”
They aren’t going anywhere. If we can breed golden retrievers and German Shepards obviously we can do the same for blondes, not that we would ever reach the point where that is needed.
@@GARBAGE_DAYY problem is Nordic genes are recessive, so as as long as inter racial breeding takes place, especially common in England these traits will disappear. Yuk no idea why people go there but ……
Wonder where all the green pink and blue haired people originate from, and many sport a metal ring hanging from the nose, can't make out the eye colour, they avoid all eye contact.
Super interesting video. Oddly enough, the high amount of ANE ancestry among some siberian and amerindian tribes did not produce blond hair. Another oddity is that blond hair was more common among funnelbeaker and globular amphora ( both were a mix between EEF and WHG) tthan among Yamnayas. It would be interesting a video about the spread of red hair, considered a typical celtic trait, but present at high percentage even among the Udmurts.
Why "even among the Udmurts"? Udmurts are Finno-Ugric people. And the Northern European Finno-Ugrians have a large number of fair-haired people. In my opinion, even Russians with blond hair are most likely of Finno-Ugric origin rather than Slavic. I am a red-haired Kazan Tatar. We are genetically close to the Udmurts. In fact, blonde and red hair, blue and green eyes are not rare even among us compared to other parts of the world.
A lot of people think blonde hair and blue eyes is the prettiest combination, but for me personally I think brown hair with brown eyes is such a calming and naturally alluring combination.
My hair from birth was dark, turned platinum during toddler age, then throughout my childhood/teens turned golden blonde and thats what I currently have with silver hair of course.
The Indo-Europpeanization of Europe was most likely highly complicated. Those of you who've read David W. 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.
Proto IE is a prehistoric South Volga horse breeders. Then they mixed with the Dnieper locals and formed IE. These groups were or were not connected with IE because the dna is distributed unevenly. That's where the Europeans came from. Volga core horse breeders spread to Siberia, where they mixed with ANE and Paleo-Siberian ancestry and by the Iron Age formed classic nomadic cultures aka proto-Tatar - Scythians, Sarmatians, Huns.
My dad’s side of the family is almost exclusively from Denmark and England. We are the stereotypical blonde haired, blue eyed giants people automatically assume are Scandinavian. 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. Just before our trip my husband had just learned that his mother’s birth parents were originally from Hamburg before coming to America! None of us could tell the difference but our friend assured us that it was easy to see. Go figure.😮
I don't understand the insistence on the Yamnaya culture when long before them there was a Vincan culture in Central Europe with already developed agriculture, metallurgy and trade.
Because the Yamnaya replaced this with their language and mythology. Even in the Levant and Caucuses they had some impact, and that's a long way away. Their influence was not only great but long lasting even to the present day.
@@SrdjanBasaric-w2s Umm...ever hear of Hinduism? Ever hear of Norse mythology? Those are its living descendants. Indeed its continuation in the present time.
Yamnayas didn't have blue eyes or blond hair, it's the African homosapians like in the west island of the Pacific have dark skin, blue eyes and blond hair. The study of the dna proves it.
My dad had blue eyes and my mom green but she was blonder. I got green eyes, and none of my kids have green or blue eyes. They took after my wife's brown eyes, we both are dark blondes.Growing up among green and blue eyes, it feels odd that none in my family has green or blue eyes.
@Wolf-hh4rv From a historical perspective, Northern Europeans relied a lot on others' inventions or resources. Wheat, gun powder, guns, Jesus, Americas resources, Arabic-Numeral system. Etc

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.

I'm portuguese and so is my whole family. As kids me and my sisters all had light Auburn coloured hair that became significantly darker as we got older. Now it's a very dark brown almost black colour.

I was born with red hair that turned brown, but my beard was red until it finally turned grey. My eyes were hazel, green or brown, they seemingly changed regularly.
My Norman and Saxon maternal grandfather had piercing blue eyes and white hair with age. My Finn/Swede father had blue eyes and blonde hair. I got the white blonde hair and blue eyes that one guy said looked like lazars.
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).
Don’t forget that childhood blond hair that turns brunette with adulthood is a different gene than blond ‘persistence’ into adulthood.

It's the ultimate in beauty and is proven by the fact that all women of all races try to mimic it. It is most or every woman's dream to look like a barbie doll. The ones denying that are lying or jealous
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.

Same here, they're absolutely angelic. Can't believe they live in countries surrounded by others that look like that and find it "boring"...
Fascinating! In Lebanon we have a minority occurrence of blonde hair and blue eyes. Not nearly as high as in northern Europe, but on par with the West Asia/Levant section of the map you showed at the beginning.

Yes, and I'd like to know why if a child begins life with ginger hair but over time it fades to blonde or tow. And why a child's auburn hair
fades to brown over time.
Does a child with both red-haired parents remain red-haired, but if it has 1 brown haired parent's gene dictate that the child's hair will turn to dark brown over time?
I always thought the red gene was dominant!
@@FairnessFobe Red hair is a recessive gene. So only if the child gets it from both its parents can it be red haired as well.

My dad was similar
Yeah but then you gray into a weird blondish gray. I myself have dark hair and beard and as I age I get more and more completely random neon red strands. This business is a lot weirder than I imagined as a kid.
Isn't that a general trend? I seem to remember reading somewhere that blonde hair always grows darker with age.
My blond hair changed later. In teenage it changed to brown and then very dark brown, still blue eyes.
My sister and a younger brother kept their blond hair and blue eyes. But the hair just a little darker as they got older.
I know friends that were blonde on their childhood, but after teenage their hair became brown or nearly black
There is also a third component of the Northern European area. To light hair, eyes, we can add the ability of an adult to digest milk.
It's the ability of every European. I am Yugoslav. 190 cm. Live in one of the hottest cities of Europe. Dirty blond hair, green eyes. I could drink milk instead of the water, easily.
I'm from the north of Belarus. We have a lot of children, blonde and light brown girls. Then some of them darken a little. And many light eyes, and gray and blue-gray and steel-gray. We have a term for a certain hair color, flaxen
And I was blond as a child, but became light brown. There is such a color in the Russian language, rusi, many Slavs have it.
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.

In Dalarna there is Orsa, and In Belarus Orsha.. I think vikings came there...
@@somedutchguy9184 I think that translates as flaxen blonde, in English.
@@hakanliljeberg790 Im sure the eastern vikings did travel there. 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. Ive read that these features were already well established there, before the arrival of the vikings.
The Vikings and Saxons have definitely influenced the British isles with hair and eye colour , my town is an old danish settlement and most people are clearly of Saxons and Viking origins

@guleet75 wanted make a joke about a town with the name 'Saxvik' (SAX + VIKings). While looking up I noticed that there are family name combinations with that (Saxvik, Saksvik, Saxvigen, Saxvig), especially used in Norway (but maybe also other parts of Scandinavia, maybe UK etc.) ... I wonder if this really has something to do with Saxons + Vikings, due to the different variations and because the origin of this name is unknown (and there are ten of thousands on one hand, on the other hand its not a huge number compared to most other names which might fit for a certain time period when this combination might have inspired some few people back then ) ....
White blonde my whole life with blue eyes as well… I sure got lots of stares in Asia and the Middle East.

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?
Research project about the significance wind speed within the Atlantic Climate Zone?

Excellent! my UA-cam feed hasn't produced your posts for a while. But I really enjoyed this post.
One thing about the Denmark 2008 study regarding the 'origin of blue eyes being the Black sea region'. This sort of finding can be defeated by logic: thus if the mutation for blue eyes spontaneously arose sometime in the black sea area, why could it also spontaneously arise elsewhere?
Also the rarest people on earth, blonde hair and blue eyes. I was born with blue eyes and blonde hair but now my hair has gradually darkened into eventually dark brown
Red hair is more rare than blonde hair. Highest concentrations of true ginger hair are in Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and the Udmurts of Russia. Also the Netherlands, Northern France, and Belgium

Greetings from Groningen, Netherlands ( Frisia ). I have red hair and blue eyes
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.
Might be some descendents of Vandals.
@@st-ex8506 I believe immigration started thousands of years ago and people always mixing! Isn't that great?My mom and dad have brown eyes and brown hair my two grandfathers had green eyes and so does my brother but not me and my sister .Both my grandfathers were Greeks from Anatolia!

I've read that blonde hair people are more fertile as well. I have naturally strawberry blonde hair (colored to look less red and resemble my younger baby blonde hair :) - I have blue eyes with a greenish circle in the middle. My DNA test shows that my mom had pure blue eyes and dad green so I guess that's where I got this mix. I haven't met them as I'm an adoptee but it's nice to know more about ethnicity, the health issues and advantages that comes with DNA and ancestry.
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.
On YT?

Blonde hair and blue or grey eyes were an adaptation to the tundra-steppe of the Ice Age, some 30,000 years ago (very possibly an inheritance from the Neanderthals after interbreeding with them, that is, those who suffered this adaptation were the Neanderthals, which was inherited by the mestizos resulting from their mixture with the Cro-Magnons who lived in the tundra steppe 30,000 years ago).

Super interesting video. Oddly enough, the high amount of ANE ancestry among some siberian and amerindian tribes did not produce blond hair. Another oddity is that blond hair was more common among funnelbeaker and globular amphora ( both were a mix between EEF and WHG) tthan among Yamnayas. It would be interesting a video about the spread of red hair, considered a typical celtic trait, but present at high percentage even among the Udmurts.
Udmurts are closely related to ANE.
Ireland is notceltic
Why "even among the Udmurts"? Udmurts are Finno-Ugric people. And the Northern European Finno-Ugrians have a large number of fair-haired people. In my opinion, even Russians with blond hair are most likely of Finno-Ugric origin rather than Slavic.

The Indo-Europpeanization of Europe was most likely highly complicated. Those of you who've read David W. 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.
Proto IE is a prehistoric South Volga horse breeders. Then they mixed with the Dnieper locals and formed IE. These groups were or were not connected with IE because the dna is distributed unevenly. That's where the Europeans came from. Volga core horse breeders spread to Siberia, where they mixed with ANE and Paleo-Siberian ancestry and by the Iron Age formed classic nomadic cultures aka proto-Tatar - Scythians, Sarmatians, Huns.
My dad’s side of the family is almost exclusively from Denmark and England. We are the stereotypical blonde haired, blue eyed giants people automatically assume are Scandinavian. 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. Just before our trip my husband had just learned that his mother’s birth parents were originally from Hamburg before coming to America! None of us could tell the difference but our friend assured us that it was easy to see. Go figure.😮
I don't understand the insistence on the Yamnaya culture when long before them there was a Vincan culture in Central Europe with already developed agriculture, metallurgy and trade.

My grandparents were born near Sulwaki Poland (North East Poland) So naturally, being of Polish/Lithuanian heritage blonde hair and blue eyes are prevalent in our family, Though mine are green... a mix ;-)
Oh yeh. Polish are full of Nordic mixing with Slavs.
It’s most likely Suwalki - isn’t it..?! 😜
@JimMork-r9u I assume that's why most of my family members are blonde 👱♀️, blue eyed and very tall. Moms side are from (what was czechslovkia). My father side English/Welsh and Dutch . 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 😂
@@Kim-J312 Nice joke.
@@volkerr. Yes, my fingers are sometimes dyslexic and prone to typos. ;)
I met a finnish guy here in australia and he told me. dad from england and in that town where he was brought up he was the only one with dark hair
Summary: Blue eyes came with Western Hunter Gatherers. Blond hair with Eastern Hunter Gatherers. The fusion is called Scandinavian Hunter Gatherers.
Blue eyes originated near the Black sea how does the western hunter gatherers fit in.
And absolutely nada to do with the difficult seasons/climate up north, giving different ethnicities (scandi/baltic/slav) similar features?
@@YBM2007Less melanin helps individuals synthesize vitamin D more efficiently which is an evolutionary advantage up north. But remember Arctic populations living even further north (Saami, Inuit etc) have dark hair, brown eyes.
@@maggan82 Inuits barely live further north than those of northernmost Norway, Kola-region of Russia etc. Any difference in diets between those places (North American Arctic)?
Great video👍Lovely accent ❤
In northern part of Anatolia , as south part of Black sea , in modern Turkey , many people has blue eyes and blond hair, another proof of your theory
Goths and heruls were pirates there for a hundred years...
People mixed and its complicated with genes and which will be dominant if one parent is blond the other not .
They are not originally turks.

Great video! Thanks

A less popular topic to examine is, "Where did the combination of mousey hair and grey-green eyes originate?"
I think that green/grey eyes are a special mutation, and kinda random.
I know a friend who has grey/green/blue eyes, his eyes changes color due temperature and sun exposure, and he is a black (afro-American) it’s real unique and rare
@@MichaelDouglas-vd7ycgrey eyes originate from Poland / Belarus / Lithuania… 2nd more rare eye color.
I have brown hair and dark eyes..and when I lived in Uk for more than a year I started feeling very bad in my health for the lack of the sun and vitamin D! I had my skin innaturally pale :(
I'm neither blond haired nor blue eyed, but i admire these features😊
I am 190cm Montenegrin with dirty blond hair and green eyes. Dad is same height, but it's a man with dark hair and dark eyes. 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.
Love your accent good information greetings from the Netherlands
Thanks
Next video will be about blue skinned people with red eyes and rainbow hair who moved to California from a faraway unknown country!
I'm blond, tall with Blue/Green eyes. I didn't hardly think about it before visiting Asia and the American continent. People there often stare at me. Not in an evil way but more curious.
Enjoyed the video. Though I would have enjoyed it more had you explained things at a quarter of the speed that you did. The information was presented too quickly, and the info graphics were displayed too briefly for me to fully comprehend and digest the information you were providing.
Blue eyes and blond hair are quite common in Western Europe.
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.
I had bleach white hair and blue eyes, when I was younger. I have since changed to having brown hair.
Vikings found blonde women very attractive. I have Blue Eyes and find blonde women very attractive 👊🏻👽
Light brown hair with a reddish tint... blue/green eyes. Svenska (Swedish) both parents. Mother was from the Stockholm area, Dad was from Yokkmokk, Laplund (up on the arctic circle.)
One of those examples of nature are producing a population of the most attractive members of the species.
Blonde hair and blue eyes is the most rare in the Caribbean islands ❤
Thanks to that kalergi great replacement it's gonna be rarer if people let it happen.
The way he says hunter-gatherers is so funny
There were Blonde hair people living in the Sweata Mountain Range in the HIMALAYAN MOUNTAINS not to far from the Wusan red haired people next to Mongolians.
And now they're extinct.
There was a famous Afghan girl with blue eyes. Her picture was on a magazine cover. I think this may reflect the fact that Macedonians conquered that whole area
@@JimMork-r9uAnd?
@@JimMork-r9uNo dear, she probably got those blue eyes from one of the many indo european tribes who passed or settled the area
@@maggiemay3520 "Dear"? How OLD are you? Pre-1945? She is living NOW. Heck, maybe she got it from a parent who got it from some English soldier. Have to consider most recent and likely sources. With her swarthy skin and piercing blue eyes, it was striking photography.
If you are blonde and got blue eyes you should mate someone like it to have blue eyed blonde babies because is very rare
perhaps.. maybe... probably... in short: we don't have the faintest idea.
I'm portuguese and so is my whole family. As kids me and my sisters all had light Auburn coloured hair that became significantly darker as we got older. Now it's a very dark brown almost black colour.
Im from Morocco and i have blue EYES and blonde hair and also my sister and my grandma
Legacy of the Visigoths, Vandals and other germanic brethren!
@@alfonsfalkhayn8950i think it was legacy of euro slaves took by ottomans
I was a "cotton top" kid, turned sandy brown, then as hair thinned in late 30s, I was nigh a redhead, (i always had some freckling too) before turning gray and male pattern baldness. Blue eyes.
If you really look at the maps you brought 0:11your see that Iceland isn't on the list, but Latvia is.
All the black people wandered out of Africa and magically turned white when they saw snow, then they wandered East and turned into Chinese type people....
I love that accent of yours ❤
Not to diss the blonde and blue eyed beauties, but I've always found green eyed redheads the most bewitching
Any small locality with the red hair green eye combination? Why was Leif Ericsson's father called The Red?
@@JimMork-r9u maybe he was a Chinese communist spy?
Yes! YES! YES!.My first love was a green eyed redhead! My daughter are both blond haired and blue eyed, though their mother is dark haired and deeply blue eyed. I was born with red hair that turned brown, but my beard was red until it finally turned grey. My eyes were hazel, green or brown, they seemingly changed regularly.
@@peterwilliams2152 Always makes me wonder if I was a pirate king in a past life ☺
they like it rough😂😂
My Norman and Saxon maternal grandfather had piercing blue eyes and white hair with age. My Finn/Swede father had blue eyes and blonde hair. I got the white blonde hair and blue eyes that one guy said looked like lazars.
Yup 👍. There a rare good looking group of humans 😄
Follow your painting career.
And "certain people" should stop pretending to be blondes ie cultural-appropriation.
@@JosephHolness-u2m
Blondes are dumb and meh anyway, gingers and brunettes with hazel eyes are way hotter.
@@PROVOCATEURSKI wonder how many got it.
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).
