    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.

    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?

      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. Ive read that these features were already well established there, before the arrival of the vikings.

      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?

    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.

    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.

    In Western Brittany, we have a long line of black thick straight hair with deep blue eyes, possibly coming from as far as the Cornish exodus (the Breton language is actually pure Cornish). I always thought it was an adaptation to the sea (many older sailors have their eyes become near-colourless), as the villages where you can find them the most are located on the northern and western shore of Finistère (and somewhat Côtes d'Armor). I'd say they came with the Norman push around the 9th-11th century, but that's a wild guess. Anyway, it was well before the French set foot there.
    We also have these dark-skinned people with curly hair with light-brown or even green eyes (which is a rarity in the world, even in Ireland), mostly in Southern Finistère, and most likely coming from Spain (and farther) very long ago (I'd wild-guess around the 9th-10th century), You might have a look at the origins of the population of Brittany and how the genetics evolved there at different times.

Either every creature that has blue eyes has blue eyes for the same reason, or they all share a common ancestor that lived 500 million years ago. There are tropical fish that have blue eyes, so hair and eyes are not related. There are tropical birds, monkeys and many other animals that live near the equator that have blue eyes, so it can’t be an adaptation to low light levels. The most likely explanation is that blue eyes is an example of divergent evolution and that all blue eyed creatures share a common ancestor that lived 450-550 million years ago.

      Other animals have blues eyes, blonde hair etc, its doesn't mean that humans have inherited them from animals. Infact Im sure this mutation was not inherited from any earlier human hominds. The mutation for blue eyes has occurred separately many times in different animals including humans. Its just a lack of pigmentation or melanin in the iris. Which make the iris look blue in colour. Which may have an advantage over eyes with more melanin, in certain environments. It more likely an example of convergent evolution. Ive read it the mutation for blue eyes in modern humans may have occurred more than once in different locations.

      Monkeys in tropical forests live in dark, dense environment jungle. Very little light penetrates their habitat. They need less melanin in their skin and eyes etc, just like the Nordic Zone where there is less light.

    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.😮

My mother is vastly Irish but there may be some Welsh, Scottish or English, has light blue eyes and black hair. Both my brother and I were towheads as babies. ruclips.net/video/W62fgGUX71c/видео.html Mom was a towhead too.....and I had the red spot under my chin....once. It takes 2 generations for any race from outside Europe to be born with blue eyes. It all takes time. I saw WWII...my Indonesian grandfather and Dutch mother did. In Holland. More honesty about this effect of recessive genes should be acknowledged and continues to be an unsaid reality of race. But then, there are many southern Europeans who would take 2 generations to gain both blue eyes and blonde hair. Even if their genes had them in the past.
