Lá vem de novo a FAKE do Sul da Sibéria , só que ninguém explica porque hoje na Sibéria e muito menos na China não existem pessoas loiras com olhos azuis ou verdes, essa " ciência " de hoje é toda FAKE baseada no extremismo radical de esquerda pra dizer que os brancos não têm uma terra ancestral que é a Europa , os povos brancos estão em Gênesis 10 5 são descendentes de Jafé e todos são nativos da Europa , já que depois do Dilúvio a Europa foi dada a Jafé por Deus , então há toda lógica na Bíblia e nenhuma na suposta ciência esquerdista , quanto aos povos das Ilhas Salomão também não são loiros , são pubos , no Brasil dizemos sarará
My family myth is that we have wheat-blonde hair in our family because when tending the wheat fields giant birds carried away the dark haired cousins, while the pale haired children could hide in the wheat, camouflaged.
My Wife and I both have blue eyes and blonde hair. We were born in England, but now live in Scotland. We have Scandinavian / Germanic DNA. As we were born in the area that was originally called Danelaw we assume that our ancestors were probably Viking settlers.
I did the My Heritage dna test, having a German father and English-American mother. I found out I don't have west European DNA, it's 40% Scandinavian, 35% English, 13% Balkan, 11% Celtic, and 1% Jewish. It was gratifying to learn the Scandinavian factor, as the culture there has always felt familiar and homey. The Balkan part was news to me, but apparently is common for Germans, as there was a wave of migration thousands of years ago from that region of farmer folk. The Jewish part came from my American ancestors which is also pleasant news. I love many Jewish musicians and Klezmer! Now I'm thinking of getting the 23 and Me dna test to learn more detail. I had wondered if I might have gypsy genes, because I more around a lot and had travelling basketmaker ancestors in Wiltshire, but nothing suggests that. Balkan dna doesn't mean gypsy. I'm blonde too by the way. Was always interested in the Vikings. But I think my Scandinavian part comes from my Dad.
My dad was German, and he had blonde hair and blue eyes. I got the blue eyes, but I missed out on the blonde hair. My daughter however, got the blonde hair and blue eyes. I was envious and happy for her at the same time, as I have to get my blonde hair out of a box.
I am 76 years, my blond hair is now again the same color it was when I was birth to five years. As I grew I became more "dishwater" (as we say in MN) blond, I wanted blond hair and began changing to a lighter blond at 16. Once I became 70, I used less and less Sun-In; now at 76 I no longer need to change my hair color lighter, it is as blond as it was when I was a toddler.
Haha My brother had platinum blond hair, blond eyebrows, blonde eyelashes, the kids in the neighbourhood used to call him lightbulb. But he retained his blond hair/eyebrows/eyelashes into adulthood, hes now grey but there's very little difference in the color, he also never went bald either
I am an American of German ancestry on both sides of my family. I was born with very golden blonde hair and blue eyes and retained my blonde hair all my life until I was in my late fifties. It's still blonde but is now a darker shade.
As always, thank you for the lesson. My mother said she was blonde until her late teens. Then her hair turned light brown. Her hair remained brown well into her 80's. Then went to silver. I was born with light brown hair. I am 74 and for the most part my hair is still light brown. My sister and three brother's had dark brown hair like my father. Their hair turned solid gray by the time they were forty five. I am always accused of dyeing my hair but I put it down to good genes and living life in the fast lane. My mother had blue eyes. My father had green eyes. My sister, my brothers and me all have green eyes. The love of my life has brown hair and green eyes.
I lived in Honolulu for 5 years. There was a girl who worked in a neighboring office building and often I would see her walking to lunch. Her golden blonde hair was like a beacon in the sunlight and it attracted nearly everyone’s gaze. I thought the attention was a natural advantage in finding a mate.
That's right; mine went dark at puberty, so I used sun-in lemon and bleach spray, and hair dye to keep it in my adulthood. I burned my scalp, so I don't dye it anymore and I am going bald on top, probably from the dye.
Same. I'm pretty sure it has to do with exposure to high testosterone levels during puberty. I had curly cotton top blond hair and blue eyes at birth, now I have dark brown hair. Odd how things work, but interesting.
Hi from the Black Country, I’m a fella with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. When I was young it was white blonde, my parents and brother were born blonde but went black and brown. Thanks for the videos I enjoy them
As a kid I had platinum blonde hair growing up in Australia. Now as Celtic Viking at 54 years old I still have blonde hair. But with a Red and white beard. I do know I have Scandinavian genes and Northern England genes! As I also Dupretayns Contracture.
@@iainmc9859 I first got it 10 years ago in both hands. But over time it disappeared in my left hand.In my right hand I don’t have any issues. I understand now that the older you are when you get it the more complications you can have.
After watching few of your videos it seems I am quite a unique specimen.... Male, with 1,90m slightly above average, blond hair and green eyes with a grey margin. And on top of that, my hair turns brighter in summer and a bit darker in winter.
I have dark brown hair, naturally. My daughters were blond when children. I have seen the Solomon-Iceland type in town, and now I realize that it comes naturally, which is very helpful to know. It is so easy to get the prejudice that this color was only something done in order to «fit in». Blue eyes/dark skin and blond hair/dark skin exist naturally. First time I saw a blue eyed woman, I saw someone who seemed terribly embarassed. I bet she had gotten a lot of staring directed at her. And we all suspected that she was wearing contact lenses. We need to grow up. Thanks.
My hair was nearly white until i hit my early 20's and slowly became pale wheat to dark wheat as I got older. My eyes are green. I am 72 and have no grey hair. But on my father's side, when you hit your late 70's your hair starts turning white. I am Scandinavian and nw english.

Born with very light brown hair but you really couldn’t tell I had any hair until almost 2. Back in the 60s my mom said everyone mistook me for a baby boy because of the lack of it (we didn’t have those cute little “Velcro Bows”🎀 to put in babies hair back then). After that it darkened up to a “medium-dark brown”. It started “sprinkling through (19) while in school for “Cosmetology”. By the time I was in my mid 40s was almost completely “Silver” and NOW it’s “PLATINUM SILVER WHITE”! 👩🏻🦳
I am American with very Northern European Roots. [Swedish, German. Russian, Scott, Irish. English] all the females in my family, even my daughter were born pale with pale blonde hair. Also, we all end up covered in sun freckles! 😂 I do believe our hair color changing happens with hormones. Around menstruation age pale blonde turns into a more golden. With every pregnancy, we later have darker blond each time. By menopause, my hair is a dark "dishwater blonde". I have never had to use a hair lightener but just going out in the sun to lighten my hair. I do not have to use lemons and such like other women but my first day out in summer, we all get a huge almost white streak down the front of our hair. I am glad to hear this happens normally to many other born blonds. We grew up being called "toe heads". I have always thought it was weird to have white blond hair for over a decade and it to slowly start darken. One year I missed going outside for the summer, because of illness, and by the start of the next summer, my hair was past my shoulders dark dark blond! I usually wear my hair pinned up. It was a shock. 😂 With our green "color changing eyes", i wondeted if it had someone to do with the -rh gene we have. Thats a crazy rabbit hole to go down. But curious if anyone else has the blonde hair, changing color green eyes, and the -rh gene? And know anything about it? Also, if it is because of the blonde hair that our hair grows so fast??! I cannot keep a short hair cut because it grows out so fast. As I have gotten older, I gave up on hair styles and just keep my hair pinned up and out of the way. I do know us blonds ten to have thinner hair. My daughter got lucky I am guessing from her father, her hair is very thick, like the native Americans [Choctaw tribe] but still blond.

Your username caught my attention. I usually see names like that used by the so-called "Hebrew Israelite" crowd. I see you have a playlist with some content on the subject of Israelite identity. I do too if you'd care to take a look at my own. God bless. ✝️
the inhabitants of Europe in the ace age "the WHG" were close to the sea,meaning they had more seafood meaning more vitamin D so they did not need light skin and they had dark skin and hair as well , but the ancient North Eurasians lived far from the sea and did not have sea food so they had less vitamin D ,hence, they needed light skin and light hair to allow the entry of ultraviolet rays into the skin tissue. Light hair is important because it allows the sun’s rays to penetrate the skin of the head more than Dark hair and in cold climates where most of the body is covered, the skin of the head is important for the body to receive sunlight
They hunted willy mammoth tho which is high in vit D. It Wan not until anatolian farmers moved acroos the alps where their hair started to lighten due to lack of vit D in diet and colder climate
They hunted wolly mammoth tho which means they were not deficient in vit D. It Was not until anatolian farmers had moved across the alps where the sun rarely shines that they got severe vit D deficiency so they had to develop blonde hair. And their diet lacked vit D
@@azlyri The best source of vitamin D is fishs , mammoth meat is not enough for people living in Siberia without having light skin and hair Agriculture accelerated the spread of genes for light hair and light skin in Northern Eurasia
Celt is not an ancestry! Its a culture that extended from Portugal to Ireland, and from France to Turkey.... Also Scandinavia is a region, the ancestry is either Hunter-gatherer, Neolitic or Yamnaya.
My ancestry is 75% German, and rest split between English, Scots, and Irish. As a child, my hair was so light and fine, I was practically a "bleached blonde." It became gold in my teens, and now at 70, it's light blonde again, mixed with grey. I've heard it called "champagne." With curls!
Hi Steven, thank you for another interesting video! What about blond hair among Australian Aborigines? I know that blond hair does occur in this population, especially in children and women. Is the genetic cause of blond hair in Australian Aborigines the same as in the Solomon Islands?
As a minority ethnic man originating from China in ancient times, I have seen a couple of kids of my people with dirty blinde hair. I've always been curious as to whether it was due to mixing or an offshoot mutation, such as the Solomon Islands scenario. There's been stories from the elders about how the Chinese easily identified us by our hair color, when we were being subjugated in the past. Although, out of the thousands I've seen, only a handful have had blondish type hair color. I'd imagine, most that carried that blonde hair gene were killed off.
Admixture is almost 99.9% the given answer to questions like yours . Even when Admixture of Caucasian bloodline is there , it's rare to see due to Minorities having dominant genes . The Islanders, all of them ... Solomon/ Melanasian/ Aboriginals of Australia/ Pacific etc... have a Multiethnic mix that includes African ~ Polynesian ~ Asian Heavily ~ New Guinea and Caucasian. The hype with the Islanders having Blonde hair is overplayed bc very few are naturally light and they still choose partners outside their own communities/ Ethnicities. Any Minority who has genetic traits outside of their Ethnicity / Race is guaranteed due to admixture of another Ethnicity/ Race. Mutations are not why each Ethnicity/ Race is different from each other... We are made that way with different specific genetic traits that belong to ONLY certain Ethnicities. Blonde hair is a Northern European Caucasian Bloodline Genetic Trait and both sides of my family are full of them from generations after generations due to our Ethnicity/ Race . If one of us were born of a different Ethnicity/ Race then it's NOT a Mutation.... we would know exactly 💯 that it was due to admixture of another Ethnicity. Blonde hair is Genetic which is why we keep it in our DNA/ Ethnicity/ Race.
@malindamcpherson6156 That's pretty interesting, I've often wondered about that. Perhaps it occurred during the Ghenghis Kahn era. Also, my younger sister took a lineage test. She was at least 70% Chinese variety & the rest are South East Asian groups. Zero European or African genes in our family line. It's certainly rare now among my people, considering I've only seen it on a couple of occasions. Both instances, little girls. The first child's grandmother also had light hair, although none of her six children had it. You would think after several hundreds or thousands of years of generations of only Asian bloodlines would've wiped out any traces of other types of genetics. Also hair maybe one thing, but obviously the traits that control eye color don't seem to have any relation. I've certainly never seen it in person or photos of any of my people with anything, but dark brown eyes. According to the legends we also had blue eyes as well as blonde hair. Perhaps eye color are more easily bred out than hair color. The actuality is, it probably wasn't even that many that had it. Myths & legends are greatly exaggerated. According to one study, only 13% of Irish people only have green eyes. Yet, that is what they are known for, as well as red hair. That is also, the greatest percentage of green eyes of all the groups of people in the world. I think the next largest were Scandinavians, at 7% or so.
@holonet1 Super Cool family DNA 💯! The South East Asian Anscestry has Arabic/ Indian/ Chinese and other admixtures , the Arabic bloodline carries Caucasian White genetic traits. Chinese & Asian people are some of the most beautiful people on Earth btw , your hair is perfect silk and your skin is flawless . Whatever Significant DNA you have in your family, it sounds spectacular and rare ✨️.
Hello! Thanks for sharing your info about the origin of blonde hair . I am American with Ash blonde hair and light blue grey eyes. My DNA test shows 75% England & NorthWestern Europe and Scotland, Ireland, Wales,Sweden&Denmark, France, and South Eastern Europe . I have Celts being my largest population in ancient times as well as Franks, Danish Vikings, and Anglo Saxons with many of the Saxons and Danish migrating to England early on. We have ancients who have Romano-Briton with some ending up in Ireland as well as Wales and my grandfather (maternal) a McClish has long early history in Northern Ireland to Hebride Islands to Scotland and lowlands Scotland (Ulster Scots) to America for my branch early on. My fathers is largely Anglo -Norman (France, Denmark/Sweden,Ireland, and England). I was told blonde hair mainly stemming from Russia (Siberia) which you mentioned in your video and I truly enjoy watching your videos as many of them you mention alot of my own ancestrial lines back in time and confirmed by my DNA! Appreciate your videos, Thanks!
I had almost white hair as a small child, then platinum hair until I was 13. After that it became mid/light blonde and has stayed like that (I'm 40). It is made up of various different shades of blonde and changes colour throughout the year, being more ashy or golden at the roots in the winter, then lighter in the summer. I am also blue-eyed and pale skinned. My colouring comes from somewhere on my mother's side of the family. However, she became a brunette in her teens.
Blondism in European populations is also an infantile trait. In school photos of 6 year olds, in Britain (of natives), perhaps half, or even more, of the children will have light-coloured hair. However, the same class viewed at 11 years of age will show 'fast blonds' to be in a very definite minority. Hair may continue to darken for some people into early adulthood. Being an infantile trait might have something to do with sexual selection, males choosing blond women because they are sending out 'protect me' signals with a trait that is otherwise more prominent in children. It may also play into the 'tall, dark and handsome' male stereotype precisely because women tend to be attracted to men who are fully adult and therefore capable of providing for potential children. Personally, I had white-blond hair as a small child, but was a dark blond by 8, and stabilised at a mid-brown by 12. I had a black beard but still a blondish moustache, later.
Born in France with a Dutch father and French mother. As a child I was very blond, golden blond with blue eyes. My French mother had Bretons and Alsatian ancestors, later on my hairs became « Châtain clair », now they are gray!
In my area of eastern Finland, Blonde, especially the kind of straw-blonde is fairly common haircolor, paired with very pale, almost white eyes that I have not seen common anywhere else. we share some culture and linguistics and likely genetics also with the siberian tribes, but there are also stories of the local tribes here in particular of being "white eyed", before Novgorod took claim over the lands.
I went through blond as a young child, to reddish as a middle schooler, to a red/ brunette as I aged. Now I have a white, reddish brown, dark brown mix.
I was born with flame-red hair. By the time I was six, it turned to ash blonde. So, I’m a rarity now as an ash blonde with brown eyes. About the Greeks: Odysseus had red hair. Cheers!
I am Portuguese, and I have black hair, dark brown eyes, and in my beard I have two colors, black and ginger, and I have fair skin and when I get sun I get freckles.
i was born blond and was blondish up till i was 15-16 years old, after that it started to get darker but i had lots of dark red hair especially in my beard. i now have grey and white hair at 47, my beard is almost totally white apart from the mustache that is dark brown and my body hair is now dark brown and white.
I was borne with platinum blonde hair people used to say it actually glowed in the dark. Blue eyes also. 40 years down the road and my hair has alot of red in it and my eyes are more like green now.
There are also indigenes in south america with blonde hair, which would be a 3rd time it evolved (even though some think it is due to an ancient connection between old and new world)
I had dark blonde hair as a child, my sister and brother too were blonde but all went dark in later childhood, my partner was copper hair coloured in childhood and freckled but his hair is now brown, his beard and arm hair is red though. He is Irish Scottish and English I am English and Scottish and Iberian Celt mix. I am dark sknned and sallow, very dark eyes and now dark hair but i dye it red
Im Blond from Spain and have R1b-Z278 (A M269 variant, locally devellopped Yamnaya/Stepped ancestry in Spain) Haplogroup and U5b1c which is Southern European WHG ancestry... im Pale, tall 1,85cm have red-cheeks, and have blue-green eyes. People think of me as German, Polish, Norwegian, etc.... I dont look stereotypically spanish, but my DNA is local to the penninsula. R1b came from the steppe into Iberia, but my mom is the one rather blond with local mitocondrial DNA. How do you explain this?
I have multicolor hair. Blonde, red, brown. I had a blonde stripe down the back of my head in high school but it went away. Some hair is platinum not to be confused with my grey here and there.
Blonde hair evolved in northern latitudes like Scandinavia where sunlight is more scarce and clouds more abundant. That would explain the lack of melanin in blond hair like in the skin and eyes. It's just a weather physical adaptation that evolved over time.
Within your lifetime it will become known that the actual origin of blonde hair genes is from Pleiadian genetic seeding of Scandinavia long ago in past. Scandavians look like Pleiadians but are shorter in stature than their star relatives
My hair was light blonde as a kid now it’s more dirty blonde. If I get enough sun on it, it’s platinum blonde though 😂 crazy how much the sun can change hair.
Quite a myth is interpreted into color of skin and hair. The further you go north, the lighter the skin is, because Vitamin D and B12 can be build with help of ultraviolet light coming through the skin. On the other hand, UV-light causes sunburn and skincancer. So depending on more or less strong sun in the local climate, the skin is lighter or darker. Northern Chinese are as white as northern Europeans. With the color of hair this is different: Among Asians the variation biond or red does not occurr. Among Europeans black is the stronger the more south you get, so also a context to UV-light. Poeple bold or blond easily can get a sunstroke because their head is not or little protected from too much UV-light. In Norway this is not much of a disadvantage, in Sicily or Africa however very well. Best adapted to tropical climate are Africans, with their natural black but short hair, not blocking convection because it is short without seeing a barber, and deep black from sunstroke because deep black. The strongly pigmented black skin protects the skin from skin cancer and sunburn in the intense tropical sun. All this has nothing to do with intelligence, and this is why this myth made about white skin and blond hair is so wrong and deplorabe. If you know about history, you know that civilisation arose in Near East close to and in Africa (Egypt, Mesopotamia), with a different center in China. Only from the 15th century on Europe became superiour through industrialisation and the age of enlightenment (emancipation from dogmatic religion), a superiority which today has wayned because of the rise of Japan, China. Today without the US Europe could not defend itself any more.
My husband was straw blonde as a child, ash brown as an adult, and has a red beard.. How does that work? Two different pathways for encoding? He must carry a recessive redhead gene?
My natural hair is reddish blonde, my brother's is dark blonde. Even though our mom had dark brown and our dad's was black. I know we got it from our grandparents. I wonder how many generations recessive genes can just keep being passed on but not seen til later? And what causes red blonde hair? Is it considered genetically red or blonde? 🤔
blonde hair & green eyes. my mother's father's parent immigrated from Holm, Norway to Brooklyn, New York around 1910 and my granddad, Sigard Sverre Holm, was born in Brooklyn, NYC shortly after as their 4th cild of 7 and the 1st born as an American. i went on to marry a Californian who was a ;;Heinz 57'' or mutt as they say with Mayan, Cherokee, Welsh, Hispanic and even a small amount of Chinese ancestry. we had 3 boys, the eldest has black eyes (very dark brown really) and very dark brown hair at birth which has become increasingly blonde to medium brown as he grew up, our 2nd son was born with and has maintained blonde hair and medium to light blue eyes and our 3rd son was born with my mum's signature colour of red aka vibrant orange hair and hazel eyes. the strange thing is that our eldest has skin that looks like a tan all the time and goes very brown without sunburn which is good as we've lived in California at the cost (Santa cruz and San Diego) and Kauai, HI so it's been a lot of sun, my middle son is quite fair and has to wear sunscreen but has very Asian facial features esp eye shape and the redhead has less trouble with sunburn at least as a child and despite his red hair is medium complexioned. he actually looks like a Mayan Viking, 6 ft 3 ins, red hair and signature Norwegian cheekbones or as a set designer said on a print modelling shoot when he was 3&1/2, ''He's got beautiful bone structure!'' it was so funny we still give him a bit of gib with that phrase! but he inherited a less pronounced but still clearly Mayan Indian, hookish nose. he is very striking looking, very noble. with predominant Norwegian, Norman French & Irish-English blood the Mohawk, Mayan, Cherokee, Chinese and a wee bit of Ghanain African via French ancestors is not overt but does lend an exotic quality to my 3 white boys! love your content, endlesswly fascinating, Peace from NorCal, Regan
My mother, of Scottish descent, was auburn with light grey eyes and my father, of German descent, had dark brown hair and eyes. They had 3 blonds with green(me) or hazel eyes. I had 4 blonds…2 blue eyed, 2 green eyed. Three of my grandchildren have a lot of red in their hair. So interesting!
I was born towheaded and with a mallen streak in the natural left part of my hair. My hiar darkened over time so the streak even stuck out more. Actually annoyed me as a boy in grade-school, every lady, even nuns would play with it (I went to a Catholic Parochial school). They'd say things like oh, girls would love that in their hair. I'm also green-eyed, born a lefty. - guess recessive traits show. I'm American and my heritage Polish/Lithuanian my father's parents born in the1890's and grandparents born in 1860's near Suwalki Poland, I'm Welsh/Irish on my mothers. So, yes both blondes and red-heads - my mother was a redhead - run in our family, most the males darker in tint over time. Think platinum to gold in the women straw to nearly dirty to mousey in the men. I'm sixty-one years old, 6' tall, full beard and my hair is long (near center back) and wavy, If I had my wife put a small braid on both sides of my face, then we tossed a 9th century helm on my head I'd pass as a Scandinavian raider. 😛
13 in my family 8 girls 5 boys 10 had blonde hair 3 brown to dark brown, all of the girls hair kept getting darker the boys stayed lighter and slowly mixed with brown ,except my male twin he had brown from a young age ,my hair stayed blonde and now in my 50 years some light brown mixed but mostly real blonde not the fake blonde. was told threw a family member later in my years are ansetery was originally from the black sea area? ,never looked into it however now I'm a little curious because over the years people have commented about my hair some with a jealous tone others with a compliment, myself I did not think much about it at all hair was hair no matter the color,some more attractive and healthy looking and I considered that to be the beauty not the color..
The same is true of rural Minnesota. The majority are blue eyed with blond to light brown hair. I'm a brunette with blue eyes. So I did stand out except on the iron range and the cities.
My Norwegian great Grandfather had dark hair and eyes. He almost looked Italian or Jewish. He was from Stavanger, Norway and was an acrobat performer. I still can't figure it out if he was a native son there.. or maybe they came from somewhere else and stayed in Norway.
The best way I can describe my hair is "sandy red". It has red, blond, and brown in it. It is a unique hair color. In lower lights it looks like a sandy blond-brown color, but it glows red in brighter light. I am most identified as a redhead or "reddish" by other people. When I look at individual hairs, I can see clearly brown, clearly red, and clearly blond hairs.
I was born a redhead but lightened to blonde with the years. All the redheads on my father’s side did the same. I had my genes done some time back, and the red headed gene was identified, plus a gene for melanoma found in redheads. There was also a photo bleaching gene identified which means the hair lightens readily in the sun, my hair has always gone very white in the summer.
I was born with blonde hair but it started turning dirty blonde by 5 and by 7 it was dark brown. My mother had black hair but my father who had dark brown hair was born with blonde hair so he passed it on to me and my sister. Genetics are very interesting.
Red (orange) beard, though I am getting more white hairs there with age. White hair doesn't show up on my scalp, which has been a very pale blond since childhood
My middle son's hair was almost white. I called him Cottonhead. One day I introduced him to an old movie. I told him it was named "Village of the Cottonheads". It was actually "Village of the damned" and it was about a very blond alien invasion. All the little blond kids had mental superpowers.
I have red hair, blue eyes, fair skin and freckles. I live in Australia, so the hot weather can be a problem. due to sun burn. Especially when young. However, there seems to be a fair number of us in the country. On my father's side, blue eyes are strong, with many having blue, at least among the last four prior generations. My Dad originally had red hair but it darkened over time. Red hair isn't as prolific but still very common. My mother also had red hair and blue eyes. I am now 67, my hair is still red but slowly becoming lighter, my Mums ended up white. I have mainly Scot, Irish and English ancestry.
My mom was born with straight white blonde hair and blue eyes. After her 1st birthday my grandmother thought my mom's scalp was dirty but it was not. It was the dark red curls coming in. And her eyes developed brown spots and eventually turned all brown. My son was born with red hair. It was as red as a red crayon. By the time he was three it turned white blonde. When he was a teen it was getting darker. It's now brown and grey.
@@sleepycalico i take after my dad. He had American Indian ancestry. Dark hair and dark eyes. The only change has been grey hair. My mom got stopped at the border when we were coming back to the US after 5 years in Mexico. They thought she was trying to smuggle a couple of Mexican kids into the US. I was very dark from playing outside in the sun every day. Glad someone like trump was not in office at the time. We might have been taken away from her and put in some cage. I can't imagine how horrible that would have been.
@@susanfarley1332 You have such an interesting story. Thanks. One of my grandfathers identified as Cherokee but his mom brought him into the white world when he was very young. He visited his cousins on reservation land. Grandpa had some of the most piercing bright blue eyes you'd ever see. Mine are a more ordinary blue-gray. It's fascinating how our DNA combines. My dad had forest green eyes when I was a kid. One day I said, Dad! When did your eyes turn BLUE?!?! He laughed. Dunno, I'm not the one looking at them much. lol And, yes, it is just horrifying we had that psychopath for our president.
My hair was originally blond but my mother changed it in my early childhood when she used some remedy she found in magazine (louses visited my hair in school and wanted to stay there). The process was very stressful and painful(to scream but she silenced me not to wake up father). After sleepless night(and period of time) my hair because of stress or chemicals became darker I am still missing my hair color today after so many years. Some damage was done to my hair. So people beware of using remedies (some can harm you).
It's weird but I was born with a full head of black curly hair and violet eyes, then my hair turned light golden blonde and my eyes turned hazel that turn greenish with my moods. I'm a mishmash of European genetics. I guess I'm a Hines 57.
@@russ549 You possess one of the rarest eye colors on the planet combined with that beautiful head of red hair, you must be a real looker. My adult son is absolutely crazy for pretty women with red hair and green eyes, he would love nothing more than to fall madly and mutually in love with a buxom red headed beauty and make beautiful red haired babies.
0:55 - My father is full-blooded Finnish. He was blonde until he was in his teens. This trait he shared with two of my brothers and my sister (my other brother and I are red-heads like our both our Finnish and Irish grandfathers). So what about blonde-changing-to-brown over time?
What actually is considered blonde hair seems to vary from one country to the next. Personally I would only call pale yellow coloured hair as blonde. Which is usually only found naturally in northern and eastern Europe. But Ive heard people from southern Europe describe people with light brown to brunette hair as being blonde. A lot children from northern Europe have blonde hair when they are children but darkens as they grown into adults.
@@user-vc8on7fm2o Yes true, I wouldnt dispute that. Though I have heard southern European people describe someone as 'blonde,' when to me that person had light brown hair. Just pointing out that the definition of 'blonde' sometimes is subjective.
I was born with orange hair which became golden blonde, then dirty blonde and then medium red brown with purple highlights in sunlight. Now it's light salt and pepper gray with hints of blonde at 77. I wonder if this is common? My eyes are medium green. German dad, English/Scot mom, green eyes w red brown curly hair/ brown eyes w red brown wavy hair, resp..
I am English and Irish. My ancestors on the English side came here on the Mayflower. My hair was platinum as a child. I have blue-green eyes. It became more golden blonde as an adult. People would tell me my hair looked like spun gold. I am 72. My hair started going gray a few years ago. I have to have it colored golden blonde now.
I had blonde hair as a child, then it turned a dirty blond until my 30's and now it's more of a honey brown, but it still looks like I have no eyebrows 😅 I'm Scottish, Danish, North German and English.
I had blackish brown hair and on my arms I have still blonde hair thank you including the tarim mummys this is interesting cheers and more coffee toddys for you thanks

light brown, but as a youngster in summer I would get some blond hair at the top of my head, I think it's due to my photobleaching genes, which I know I have, but I will check my genes tonight to see, now they are just getting grey on top,😔 but my youngest sister is dark blond. also, mountainous Greeks like my dad have light hair compared to coast Greeks.
Now confused rs1393350 AA, blue rather than green eyes 1.52 times, I suspect the other genes counteract this one, Blond rather than brown hair 1.29 times, I suspect other genes are countering this, but I could be wrong since one of my cousins has nearly 100% blonde hair and is the son of dad's twin brother. Skin sensitivity to sun 1.26 times, I did burn easily but have counteracted that with vitamin A and nicotinamide. Then again his mum also came from the same mountainous region of western central Greece.
Saludos desde Galicia, España! I have 3 kids a boy and 2 girls all blonde, but the boy is still blonde, now is 37 and his hair is the same, however the girls now have a light brown hair. For us is weird. Thanks for the explanation, and sorry for my English. I'm a MD in a little town by the sea, and most of people have light hair and blue eyes.
I was born with white blond hair which went to dark blond as I got older, I started going grey early 30s so those white hairs took me back to platinum blond again, my eyes seem to change colour with what I wear some days they are ice blue, other days they are grey. My colouring is unusual, my heritage is german, english & scottish.
p.s. my Norwegian great granny had dove grey eyes and another great gran had golden eyes so non-dominant genetic traits showing up front & centre, seem to be a feature that runs throughout the generations of my family.
the vit D hypothesis has 2 components, as humans have 2 ways of metabolizing vit D, from 1)sunlight and 2)food. As long as we were hunter/gatherers, we had enough vit D from food (meat/organs/eggs) but when we gradually switched to agriculture and grains (10k years ago and onwards), we became vit-d deficient. At that point, we were left with only the sunlight option and through natural selection, fair skin quickly spread through the northern populations. The most northerly living humans, the Inuits (Eskimos) carried on with hunter/gatherer life style thus their skin tone never needed to change and remained relatively dark. Specifically blond hair (and red hair), is probably a result of sexual selection, as men select for youth (suggesting good fertility) and beauty (meaning good immune system and genes), and blond hair typically makes a woman look more youthful (neotenous) and attractive.
My hair is grey😂 but before that I had blond hair. My father was blond and my mother dark blonde - my husband was dark blond and both our sons were light blond as children but are now dark blond.

One of my favorite of natural colors is scandinavian/swedish blonde for all over my hair with scandinavian/swedish blonde roots.
I think natural blonds gets a lot of envy. It is truly sad and disheartening when people shun for such stupidity. I experience this on a daily basis.
My family myth is that we have wheat-blonde hair in our family because when tending the wheat fields giant birds carried away the dark haired cousins, while the pale haired children could hide in the wheat, camouflaged.
Sounds legit. Thanks for sharing.
That's lovely, I'll be using that!
😂 I love it! Family lore is always the best!
🤦🏻♀️

My Wife and I both have blue eyes and blonde hair. We were born in England, but now live in Scotland. We have Scandinavian / Germanic DNA. As we were born in the area that was originally called Danelaw we assume that our ancestors were probably Viking settlers.
I did the My Heritage dna test, having a German father and English-American mother. I found out I don't have west European DNA, it's 40% Scandinavian, 35% English, 13% Balkan, 11% Celtic, and 1% Jewish. It was gratifying to learn the Scandinavian factor, as the culture there has always felt familiar and homey. The Balkan part was news to me, but apparently is common for Germans, as there was a wave of migration thousands of years ago from that region of farmer folk. The Jewish part came from my American ancestors which is also pleasant news. I love many Jewish musicians and Klezmer! Now I'm thinking of getting the 23 and Me dna test to learn more detail. I had wondered if I might have gypsy genes, because I more around a lot and had travelling basketmaker ancestors in Wiltshire, but nothing suggests that. Balkan dna doesn't mean gypsy. I'm blonde too by the way. Was always interested in the Vikings. But I think my Scandinavian part comes from my Dad.
Yeah we went over there, many years ago. I feel close to England to this day....
So no germanicos
Vikings
When I was a lad my hair was so blonde it was white. The rest of my family is redheaded and blonde. Swedish, Finnish, and Scotsman. Grey eyes too
My dad was German, and he had blonde hair and blue eyes. I got the blue eyes, but I missed out on the blonde hair. My daughter however, got the blonde hair and blue eyes. I was envious and happy for her at the same time, as I have to get my blonde hair out of a box.
I am 76 years, my blond hair is now again the same color it was when I was birth to five years.
As I grew I became more "dishwater" (as we say in MN) blond, I wanted blond hair and began changing to a lighter blond at 16.
Once I became 70, I used less and less Sun-In; now at 76 I no longer need to change my hair color lighter, it is as blond as it was when I was a toddler.
Id say it's more white than blonde?
Haha My brother had platinum blond hair, blond eyebrows, blonde eyelashes, the kids in the neighbourhood used to call him lightbulb. But he retained his blond hair/eyebrows/eyelashes into adulthood, hes now grey but there's very little difference in the color, he also never went bald either
I am an American of German ancestry on both sides of my family. I was born with very golden blonde hair and blue eyes and retained my blonde hair all my life until I was in my late fifties. It's still blonde but is now a darker shade.
As always, thank you for the lesson. My mother said she was blonde until her late teens. Then her hair turned light brown. Her hair remained brown well into her 80's. Then went to silver. I was born with light brown hair. I am 74 and for the most part my hair is still light brown. My sister and three brother's had dark brown hair like my father. Their hair turned solid gray by the time they were forty five. I am always accused of dyeing my hair but I put it down to good genes and living life in the fast lane. My mother had blue eyes. My father had green eyes. My sister, my brothers and me all have green eyes. The love of my life has brown hair and green eyes.
My mam had naturally blonde hair with zero grey. She passed away in 2022 💙 thanks for sharing
I lived in Honolulu for 5 years. There was a girl who worked in a neighboring office building and often I would see her walking to lunch. Her golden blonde hair was like a beacon in the sunlight and it attracted nearly everyone’s gaze. I thought the attention was a natural advantage in finding a mate.
My daughter is half Puerto Rican. She popped out with a full head of black hair but with one blonde streak.
Oh how cool 😊
The ultimate hair!
That’s so cool!!
I was born with a head full of golden blonde hair but by the time my balls dropped my hair started turning light brown 😂.
That's right; mine went dark at puberty, so I used sun-in lemon and bleach spray, and hair dye to keep it in my adulthood. I burned my scalp, so I don't dye it anymore and I am going bald on top, probably from the dye.
Look at lions as well... the more testosterone they hve, the darker the mane. Not valid for subsaharian hominids.
Same here. Born golden blonde with curls in the back, now I’m dark brown and no curls.
Thats what happens when
Same. I'm pretty sure it has to do with exposure to high testosterone levels during puberty. I had curly cotton top blond hair and blue eyes at birth, now I have dark brown hair. Odd how things work, but interesting.
My hair was just white my whole life, it is starting to darken now that I am 52, but my eye brows have never changed color, no grey :)
Hi from the Black Country, I’m a fella with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. When I was young it was white blonde, my parents and brother were born blonde but went black and brown. Thanks for the videos I enjoy them
As a kid I had platinum blonde hair growing up in Australia. Now as Celtic Viking at 54 years old I still have blonde hair. But with a Red and white beard. I do know I have Scandinavian genes and Northern England genes! As I

Keep hydrated with Dupretayn's, it seems to be a contributing factor.
Looked at your pic. You look like a Viking mate. 👍
@@iainmc9859 I first got it 10 years ago in both hands. But over time it disappeared in my left hand.In my right hand I don’t have any issues. I understand now that the older you are when you get it the more complications you can have.
After watching few of your videos it seems I am quite a unique specimen.... Male, with 1,90m slightly above average, blond hair and green eyes with a grey margin. And on top of that, my hair turns brighter in summer and a bit darker in winter.
My hair goes bright blonde in the sun too, cool stuff!
I have dark brown hair, naturally. My daughters were blond when children. I have seen the Solomon-Iceland type in town, and now I realize that it comes naturally, which is very helpful to know. It is so easy to get the prejudice that this color was only something done in order to «fit in». Blue eyes/dark skin and blond hair/dark skin exist naturally. First time I saw a blue eyed woman, I saw someone who seemed terribly embarassed. I bet she had gotten a lot of staring directed at her. And we all suspected that she was wearing contact lenses. We need to grow up. Thanks.
As a child I was white blonde with pale blue eyes. My hair never changed colour and is still white blonde at 70. Could I have descended from Vikings?
You are probably a Viking =)
Yes
I was thinking this today. So now im FREAKED out that this video popped up on my feed.
My hair was white when I was little. Now it's a dark brown. But my beard is a short of reddish color with some blonde in it.
My hair was nearly white until i hit my early 20's and slowly became pale wheat to dark wheat as I got older. My eyes are green. I am 72 and have no grey hair. But on my father's side, when you hit your late 70's your hair starts turning white. I am Scandinavian and nw english.
Blonde and green eyed American with 2 daughters also blonde and green eyed. Their dad has dark brown hair and blue eyes. Mix of English, Irish, Scottish, German, Scandinavian, and native American.
My grandchildren are blonde with blue eyes. Their dad has dark hair and hazel eyes.
My brothers and I were towheads, white blonde, but now in our sixties, our remaining hair is almost black.
I was blond but my hair started getting darker as i went through puberty.
Me to my hair is a darker golden blondish color
same
It's call bottle blond
Born with very light brown hair but you really couldn’t tell I had any hair until almost 2. Back in the 60s my mom said everyone mistook me for a baby boy because of the lack of it (we didn’t have those cute little “Velcro Bows”🎀 to put in babies hair back then). After that it darkened up to a “medium-dark brown”. It started “sprinkling through (19) while in school for “Cosmetology”. By the time I was in my mid 40s was almost completely “Silver” and NOW it’s “PLATINUM SILVER WHITE”! 👩🏻🦳
I am American with very Northern European Roots. [Swedish, German. Russian, Scott, Irish. English] all the females in my family, even my daughter were born pale with pale blonde hair. Also, we all end up covered in sun freckles! 😂 I do believe our hair color changing happens with hormones. Around menstruation age pale blonde turns into a more golden. With every pregnancy, we later have darker blond each time. By menopause, my hair is a dark "dishwater blonde". I have never had to use a hair lightener but just going out in the sun to lighten my hair. I do not have to use lemons and such like other women but my first day out in summer, we all get a huge almost white streak down the front of our hair. I am glad to hear this happens normally to many other born blonds. We grew up being called "toe heads". I have always thought it was weird to have white blond hair for over a decade and it to slowly start darken. One year I missed going outside for the summer, because of illness, and by the start of the next summer, my hair was past my shoulders dark dark blond! I usually wear my hair pinned up. It was a shock. 😂
With our green "color changing eyes", i wondeted if it had someone to do with the -rh gene we have. Thats a crazy rabbit hole to go down. But curious if anyone else has the blonde hair, changing color green eyes, and the -rh gene? And know anything about it?
Also, if it is because of the blonde hair that our hair grows so fast??! I cannot keep a short hair cut because it grows out so fast. As I have gotten older, I gave up on hair styles and just keep my hair pinned up and out of the way. I do know us blonds ten to have thinner hair. My daughter got lucky I am guessing from her father, her hair is very thick, like the native Americans [Choctaw tribe] but still blond.

Your username caught my attention. I usually see names like that used by the so-called "Hebrew Israelite" crowd. I see you have a playlist with some content on the subject of Israelite identity. I do too if you'd care to take a look at my own. God bless. ✝️
the inhabitants of Europe in the ace age "the WHG" were close to the sea,meaning they had more seafood meaning more vitamin D so they did not need light skin and they had dark skin and hair as well , but the ancient North Eurasians lived far from the sea and did not have sea food so they had less vitamin D ,hence, they needed light skin and light hair to allow the entry of ultraviolet rays into the skin tissue. Light hair is important because it allows the sun’s rays to penetrate the skin of the head more than Dark hair and in cold climates where most of the body is covered, the skin of the head is important for the body to receive sunlight
They hunted willy mammoth tho which is high in vit D.
It Wan not until anatolian farmers moved acroos the alps where their hair started to lighten due to lack of vit D in diet and colder climate
They hunted wolly mammoth tho which means they were not deficient in vit D.
It Was not until anatolian farmers had moved across the alps where the sun rarely shines that they got severe vit D deficiency so they had to develop blonde hair. And their diet lacked vit D
@@azlyri The best source of vitamin D is fishs , mammoth meat is not enough for people living in Siberia without having light skin and hair
Agriculture accelerated the spread of genes for light hair and light skin in Northern Eurasia
I had blonde hair when I was a child now it’s a light brown with blue/ green eyes.. I have Scandinavian and Celtic ancestry!
Celt is not an ancestry! Its a culture that extended from Portugal to Ireland, and from France to Turkey.... Also Scandinavia is a region, the ancestry is either Hunter-gatherer, Neolitic or Yamnaya.
My ancestry is 75% German, and rest split between English, Scots, and Irish. As a child, my hair was so light and fine, I was practically a "bleached blonde." It became gold in my teens, and now at 70, it's light blonde again, mixed with grey. I've heard it called "champagne." With curls!
Hi Steven, thank you for another interesting video! What about blond hair among Australian Aborigines? I know that blond hair does occur in this population, especially in children and women. Is the genetic cause of blond hair in Australian Aborigines the same as in the Solomon Islands?
Modern scholars totally oblivious of the great migration of peoples East to West after the Great Wall the Yuechi pushed hoards of Scythians West
As a minority ethnic man originating from China in ancient times, I have seen a couple of kids of my people with dirty blinde hair. I've always been curious as to whether it was due to mixing or an offshoot mutation, such as the Solomon Islands scenario.
There's been stories from the elders about how the Chinese easily identified us by our hair color, when we were being subjugated in the past. Although, out of the thousands I've seen, only a handful have had blondish type hair color. I'd imagine, most that carried that blonde hair gene were killed off.
Admixture is almost 99.9% the given answer to questions like yours . Even when Admixture of Caucasian bloodline is there , it's rare to see due to Minorities having dominant genes . The Islanders, all of them ... Solomon/ Melanasian/ Aboriginals of Australia/ Pacific etc... have a Multiethnic mix that includes African ~ Polynesian ~ Asian Heavily ~ New Guinea and Caucasian. The hype with the Islanders having Blonde hair is overplayed bc very few are naturally light and they still choose partners outside their own communities/ Ethnicities. Any Minority who has genetic traits outside of their Ethnicity / Race is guaranteed due to admixture of another Ethnicity/ Race. Mutations are not why each Ethnicity/ Race is different from each other... We are made that way with different specific genetic traits that belong to ONLY certain Ethnicities. Blonde hair is a Northern European Caucasian Bloodline Genetic Trait and both sides of my family are full of them from generations after generations due to our Ethnicity/ Race . If one of us were born of a different Ethnicity/ Race then it's NOT a Mutation.... we would know exactly 💯 that it was due to admixture of another Ethnicity. Blonde hair is Genetic which is why we keep it in our DNA/ Ethnicity/ Race.
@malindamcpherson6156 That's pretty interesting, I've often wondered about that. Perhaps it occurred during the Ghenghis Kahn era. Also, my younger sister took a lineage test. She was at least 70% Chinese variety & the rest are South East Asian groups. Zero European or African genes in our family line. It's certainly rare now among my people, considering I've only seen it on a couple of occasions. Both instances, little girls. The first child's grandmother also had light hair, although none of her six children had it. You would think after several hundreds or thousands of years of generations of only Asian bloodlines would've wiped out any traces of other types of genetics.
Also hair maybe one thing, but obviously the traits that control eye color don't seem to have any relation. I've certainly never seen it in person or photos of any of my people with anything, but dark brown eyes. According to the legends we also had blue eyes as well as blonde hair. Perhaps eye color are more easily bred out than hair color. The actuality is, it probably wasn't even that many that had it. Myths & legends are greatly exaggerated. According to one study, only 13% of Irish people only have green eyes. Yet, that is what they are known for, as well as red hair. That is also, the greatest percentage of green eyes of all the groups of people in the world. I think the next largest were Scandinavians, at 7% or so.
@holonet1 Super Cool family DNA 💯! The South East Asian Anscestry has Arabic/ Indian/ Chinese and other admixtures , the Arabic bloodline carries Caucasian White genetic traits. Chinese & Asian people are some of the most beautiful people on Earth btw , your hair is perfect silk and your skin is flawless . Whatever Significant DNA you have in your family, it sounds spectacular and rare ✨️.
Hello! Thanks for sharing your info about the origin of blonde hair . I am American with Ash blonde hair and light blue grey eyes. My DNA test shows 75% England & NorthWestern Europe and Scotland, Ireland, Wales,Sweden&Denmark, France, and South Eastern Europe . I have Celts being my largest population in ancient times as well as Franks, Danish Vikings, and Anglo Saxons with many of the Saxons and Danish migrating to England early on. We have ancients who have Romano-Briton with some ending up in Ireland as well as Wales and my grandfather (maternal) a McClish has long early history in Northern Ireland to Hebride Islands to Scotland and lowlands Scotland (Ulster Scots) to America for my branch early on. My fathers is largely Anglo -Norman (France, Denmark/Sweden,Ireland, and England). I was told blonde hair mainly stemming from Russia (Siberia) which you mentioned in your video and I truly enjoy watching your videos as many of them you mention alot of my own ancestrial lines back in time and confirmed by my DNA! Appreciate your videos, Thanks!
Hi! I’m originally from Shetland. Was wondering if you are too…you sound like it. Love your videos
Thanks. I'm from near the Falkirk area, but went to uni in Glasgow etc.
I had almost white hair as a small child, then platinum hair until I was 13. After that it became mid/light blonde and has stayed like that (I'm 40). It is made up of various different shades of blonde and changes colour throughout the year, being more ashy or golden at the roots in the winter, then lighter in the summer. I am also blue-eyed and pale skinned. My colouring comes from somewhere on my mother's side of the family. However, she became a brunette in her teens.
Blondism in European populations is also an infantile trait. In school photos of 6 year olds, in Britain (of natives), perhaps half, or even more, of the children will have light-coloured hair. However, the same class viewed at 11 years of age will show 'fast blonds' to be in a very definite minority. Hair may continue to darken for some people into early adulthood. Being an infantile trait might have something to do with sexual selection, males choosing blond women because they are sending out 'protect me' signals with a trait that is otherwise more prominent in children. It may also play into the 'tall, dark and handsome' male stereotype precisely because women tend to be attracted to men who are fully adult and therefore capable of providing for potential children. Personally, I had white-blond hair as a small child, but was a dark blond by 8, and stabilised at a mid-brown by 12. I had a black beard but still a blondish moustache, later.
Man, you're doing a good job. Thank you very much for your channel. 👍👍
Thanks, I appreciate that
Born in France with a Dutch father and French mother. As a child I was very blond, golden blond with blue eyes. My French mother had Bretons and Alsatian ancestors, later on my hairs became « Châtain clair », now they are gray!
In my area of eastern Finland, Blonde, especially the kind of straw-blonde is fairly common haircolor, paired with very pale, almost white eyes that I have not seen common anywhere else. we share some culture and linguistics and likely genetics also with the siberian tribes, but there are also stories of the local tribes here in particular of being "white eyed", before Novgorod took claim over the lands.
Early Slavic people who moved today's north-west Russia called Finnic tribes (natives) "white eyed".
I went through blond as a young child, to reddish as a middle schooler, to a red/ brunette as I aged. Now I have a white, reddish brown, dark brown mix.
I was born with flame-red hair. By the time I was six, it turned to ash blonde. So, I’m a rarity now as an ash blonde with brown eyes.
About the Greeks: Odysseus had red hair.
Cheers!
I am Portuguese, and I have black hair, dark brown eyes, and in my beard I have two colors, black and ginger, and I have fair skin and when I get sun I get freckles.
When i was born my blonde hair was so light it almost looked like white, now its a dark yellow color
I was born platinum blonde, and now my hair is dark blonde
My hair was dirty blonde as a child and now is medium dark brown to dark brown. I have lots of Iberian roots though
European. Blonde as an infant and at 3, but dark blonde by the time I was 5. Hazel eyes.
The most Scottish accent ever!
i was born blond and was blondish up till i was 15-16 years old, after that it started to get darker but i had lots of dark red hair especially in my beard.
i now have grey and white hair at 47, my beard is almost totally white apart from the mustache that is dark brown and my body hair is now dark brown and white.
I was borne with platinum blonde hair people used to say it actually glowed in the dark. Blue eyes also. 40 years down the road and my hair has alot of red in it and my eyes are more like green now.
There are also indigenes in south america with blonde hair, which would be a 3rd time it evolved (even though some think it is due to an ancient connection between old and new world)
I had dark blonde hair as a child, my sister and brother too were blonde but all went dark in later childhood, my partner was copper hair coloured in childhood and freckled but his hair is now brown, his beard and arm hair is red though. He is Irish Scottish and English I am English and Scottish and Iberian Celt mix. I am dark sknned and sallow, very dark eyes and now dark hair but i dye it red
Im Blond from Spain and have R1b-Z278 (A M269 variant, locally devellopped Yamnaya/Stepped ancestry in Spain) Haplogroup and U5b1c which is Southern European WHG ancestry... im Pale, tall 1,85cm have red-cheeks, and have blue-green eyes. People think of me as German, Polish, Norwegian, etc.... I dont look stereotypically spanish, but my DNA is local to the penninsula. R1b came from the steppe into Iberia, but my mom is the one rather blond with local mitocondrial DNA. How do you explain this?
I have multicolor hair. Blonde, red, brown. I had a blonde stripe down the back of my head in high school but it went away. Some hair is platinum not to be confused with my grey here and there.
Naturally blonde with grey eyes. My ancestry is Scandinavian
Danish people have naturally the most blonde hair I was able to see when I visited Copenhagen, Denmark...very beautiful color of blonde hair there...!
Blonde hair evolved in northern latitudes like Scandinavia where sunlight is more scarce and clouds more abundant. That would explain the lack of melanin in blond hair like in the skin and eyes. It's just a weather physical adaptation that evolved over time.
if this was the reason, Inuits would have blond hair and blue eyes too..
Within your lifetime it will become known that the actual origin of blonde hair genes is from Pleiadian genetic seeding of Scandinavia long ago in past. Scandavians look like Pleiadians but are shorter in stature than their star relatives
@@kifi672That's because Inuits didn't evolve racially there. They evolved in less frigid lower latitudes
@@LeoSaab-ty3cj like where? And what about the other inhabitants of Siberia? They have been there for quite a while. Denisovans too.
I was born with blond hair but it darkened to gold over time. My Ancestors were Highlanders.
i went dark as i entered early teens, Scottish and English mixed
My hair was light blonde as a kid now it’s more dirty blonde. If I get enough sun on it, it’s platinum blonde though 😂 crazy how much the sun can change hair.
Ya, sunlight works wonders on my blonde hair. I love it. Even reflecting off snow in the mountains works better than bought stuff.
Quite a myth is interpreted into color of skin and hair. The further you go north, the lighter the skin is, because Vitamin D and B12 can be build with help of ultraviolet light coming through the skin. On the other hand, UV-light causes sunburn and skincancer. So depending on more or less strong sun in the local climate, the skin is lighter or darker. Northern Chinese are as white as northern Europeans.
With the color of hair this is different: Among Asians the variation biond or red does not occurr. Among Europeans black is the stronger the more south you get, so also a context to UV-light. Poeple bold or blond easily can get a sunstroke because their head is not or little protected from too much UV-light. In Norway this is not much of a disadvantage, in Sicily or Africa however very well.
Best adapted to tropical climate are Africans, with their natural black but short hair, not blocking convection because it is short without seeing a barber, and deep black from sunstroke because deep black. The strongly pigmented black skin protects the skin from skin cancer and sunburn in the intense tropical sun.
All this has nothing to do with intelligence, and this is why this myth made about white skin and blond hair is so wrong and deplorabe. If you know about history, you know that civilisation arose in Near East close to and in Africa (Egypt, Mesopotamia),
with a different center in China. Only from the 15th century on Europe became superiour through industrialisation and the age of enlightenment (emancipation from dogmatic religion), a superiority which today has wayned because of the rise of Japan, China. Today without the US Europe could not defend itself any more.
My husband was straw blonde as a child, ash brown as an adult, and has a red beard..
How does that work? Two different pathways for encoding? He must carry a recessive redhead gene?
MY hair is a darkest brown but I have red undertones you can see in the sun. People say my hair is black, but the tones say otherwise.
Yes we all have two genes that determine hair color. He got one Blond and on redhead gene.
Same here white blonde as a child. Then medium brown. Now silver.
Facial hair was brown and reddish above jawline....nearly black below jawline
My natural hair is reddish blonde, my brother's is dark blonde. Even though our mom had dark brown and our dad's was black. I know we got it from our grandparents. I wonder how many generations recessive genes can just keep being passed on but not seen til later? And what causes red blonde hair? Is it considered genetically red or blonde? 🤔
blonde hair & green eyes. my mother's father's parent immigrated from Holm, Norway to Brooklyn, New York around 1910 and my granddad, Sigard Sverre Holm, was born in Brooklyn, NYC shortly after as their 4th cild of 7 and the 1st born as an American. i went on to marry a Californian who was a ;;Heinz 57'' or mutt as they say with Mayan, Cherokee, Welsh, Hispanic and even a small amount of Chinese ancestry. we had 3 boys, the eldest has black eyes (very dark brown really) and very dark brown hair at birth which has become increasingly blonde to medium brown as he grew up, our 2nd son was born with and has maintained blonde hair and medium to light blue eyes and our 3rd son was born with my mum's signature colour of red aka vibrant orange hair and hazel eyes. the strange thing is that our eldest has skin that looks like a tan all the time and goes very brown without sunburn which is good as we've lived in California at the cost (Santa cruz and San Diego) and Kauai, HI so it's been a lot of sun, my middle son is quite fair and has to wear sunscreen but has very Asian facial features esp eye shape and the redhead has less trouble with sunburn at least as a child and despite his red hair is medium complexioned. he actually looks like a Mayan Viking, 6 ft 3 ins, red hair and signature Norwegian cheekbones or as a set designer said on a print modelling shoot when he was 3&1/2, ''He's got beautiful bone structure!'' it was so funny we still give him a bit of gib with that phrase! but he inherited a less pronounced but still clearly Mayan Indian, hookish nose. he is very striking looking, very noble. with predominant Norwegian, Norman French & Irish-English blood the Mohawk, Mayan, Cherokee, Chinese and a wee bit of Ghanain African via French ancestors is not overt but does lend an exotic quality to my 3 white boys! love your content, endlesswly fascinating, Peace from NorCal, Regan
My mother, of Scottish descent, was auburn with light grey eyes and my father, of German descent, had dark brown hair and eyes. They had 3 blonds with green(me) or hazel eyes. I had 4 blonds…2 blue eyed, 2 green eyed. Three of my grandchildren have a lot of red in their hair. So interesting!
I was born towheaded and with a mallen streak in the natural left part of my hair. My hiar darkened over time so the streak even stuck out more. Actually annoyed me as a boy in grade-school, every lady, even nuns would play with it (I went to a Catholic Parochial school). They'd say things like oh, girls would love that in their hair. I'm also green-eyed, born a lefty. - guess recessive traits show.
I'm American and my heritage Polish/Lithuanian my father's parents born in the1890's and grandparents born in 1860's near Suwalki Poland, I'm Welsh/Irish on my mothers. So, yes both blondes and red-heads - my mother was a redhead - run in our family, most the males darker in tint over time. Think platinum to gold in the women straw to nearly dirty to mousey in the men.
I'm sixty-one years old, 6' tall, full beard and my hair is long (near center back) and wavy, If I had my wife put a small braid on both sides of my face, then we tossed a 9th century helm on my head I'd pass as a Scandinavian raider. 😛
My hair was a straw blonde when I was a kid but when I hit puberty it turned to a dirty blonde light brown. I also have blue eyes
13 in my family 8 girls 5 boys 10 had blonde hair 3 brown to dark brown, all of the girls hair kept getting darker the boys stayed lighter and slowly mixed with brown ,except my male twin he had brown from a young age ,my hair stayed blonde and now in my 50 years some light brown mixed but mostly real blonde not the fake blonde. was told threw a family member later in my years are ansetery was originally from the black sea area? ,never looked into it however now I'm a little curious because over the years people have commented about my hair some with a jealous tone others with a compliment, myself I did not think much about it at all hair was hair no matter the color,some more attractive and healthy looking and I considered that to be the beauty not the color..
Growing up one of the only dark-haired kids in a mostly Norwegian town was like the Village of the Damned all the kids were blonde and blue-eyed.
I know the feeling :-)
The same is true of rural Minnesota. The majority are blue eyed with blond to light brown hair. I'm a brunette with blue eyes. So I did stand out except on the iron range and the cities.
Same is true in some rural regions in Minnesota. As a blue eyed brunette I stand out .However on the iron range and the cities I blend in.
I went from black hair as a newborn, to blonde, then ginger.
Boring mid brown as an adult 😕
My Norwegian great Grandfather had dark hair and eyes. He almost looked Italian or Jewish. He was from Stavanger, Norway and was an acrobat performer. I still can't figure it out if he was a native son there.. or maybe they came from somewhere else and stayed in Norway.
The best way I can describe my hair is "sandy red". It has red, blond, and brown in it. It is a unique hair color. In lower lights it looks like a sandy blond-brown color, but it glows red in brighter light. I am most identified as a redhead or "reddish" by other people. When I look at individual hairs, I can see clearly brown, clearly red, and clearly blond hairs.
Thanks!
I was born a redhead but lightened to blonde with the years. All the redheads on my father’s side did the same. I had my genes done some time back, and the red headed gene was identified, plus a gene for melanoma found in redheads. There was also a photo bleaching gene identified which means the hair lightens readily in the sun, my hair has always gone very white in the summer.
As a toddler I had blond hair but it then became dark brown. Now it's all white!
I was born with blonde hair but it started turning dirty blonde by 5 and by 7 it was dark brown. My mother had black hair but my father who had dark brown hair was born with blonde hair so he passed it on to me and my sister. Genetics are very interesting.
Red (orange) beard, though I am getting more white hairs there with age. White hair doesn't show up on my scalp, which has been a very pale blond since childhood
My hair is a mixture of red and blonde. But I have a very dark amber mustache and beard😂
my neighbour's grand daughter is called freya, white blonde hair even at 14, North eastern dad so likely to be Viking
My middle son's hair was almost white. I called him Cottonhead.
One day I introduced him to an old movie. I told him it was named "Village of the Cottonheads".
It was actually "Village of the damned" and it was about a very blond alien invasion. All the little blond kids had mental superpowers.
I had Dark roots.. Red in the middle & blonde tips..as a teen-ager 😳
I have red hair, blue eyes, fair skin and freckles. I live in Australia, so the hot weather can be a problem. due to sun burn. Especially when young. However, there seems to be a fair number of us in the country. On my father's side, blue eyes are strong, with many having blue, at least among the last four prior generations. My Dad originally had red hair but it darkened over time. Red hair isn't as prolific but still very common. My mother also had red hair and blue eyes. I am now 67, my hair is still red but slowly becoming lighter, my Mums ended up white. I have mainly Scot, Irish and English ancestry.
My mom was born with straight white blonde hair and blue eyes. After her 1st birthday my grandmother thought my mom's scalp was dirty but it was not. It was the dark red curls coming in. And her eyes developed brown spots and eventually turned all brown. My son was born with red hair. It was as red as a red crayon. By the time he was three it turned white blonde. When he was a teen it was getting darker. It's now brown and grey.
Has your own hair and eye coloring stayed pretty stable all life long?
@@sleepycalico i take after my dad. He had American Indian ancestry. Dark hair and dark eyes. The only change has been grey hair.
My mom got stopped at the border when we were coming back to the US after 5 years in Mexico. They thought she was trying to smuggle a couple of Mexican kids into the US. I was very dark from playing outside in the sun every day. Glad someone like trump was not in office at the time. We might have been taken away from her and put in some cage. I can't imagine how horrible that would have been.
@@susanfarley1332 You have such an interesting story. Thanks. One of my grandfathers identified as Cherokee but his mom brought him into the white world when he was very young. He visited his cousins on reservation land. Grandpa had some of the most piercing bright blue eyes you'd ever see. Mine are a more ordinary blue-gray. It's fascinating how our DNA combines.
My dad had forest green eyes when I was a kid. One day I said, Dad! When did your eyes turn BLUE?!?! He laughed. Dunno, I'm not the one looking at them much. lol
And, yes, it is just horrifying we had that psychopath for our president.
My hair was originally blond but my mother changed it in my early childhood when she used some remedy she found in magazine (louses visited my hair in school and wanted to stay there).
The process was very stressful and painful(to scream but she silenced me not to wake up father).
After sleepless night(and period of time) my hair because of stress or chemicals became darker
I am still missing my hair color today after so many years. Some damage was done to my hair.
So people beware of using remedies (some can harm you).
It's weird but I was born with a full head of black curly hair and violet eyes, then my hair turned light golden blonde and my eyes turned hazel that turn greenish with my moods. I'm a mishmash of European genetics. I guess I'm a Hines 57.
My hair and eyes have changed from blonde to blondish redish and from blue to mostly green.
@@russ549 You possess one of the rarest eye colors on the planet combined with that beautiful head of red hair, you must be a real looker. My adult son is absolutely crazy for pretty women with red hair and green eyes, he would love nothing more than to fall madly and mutually in love with a buxom red headed beauty and make beautiful red haired babies.
0:55 - My father is full-blooded Finnish. He was blonde until he was in his teens. This trait he shared with two of my brothers and my sister (my other brother and I are red-heads like our both our Finnish and Irish grandfathers). So what about blonde-changing-to-brown over time?
What actually is considered blonde hair seems to vary from one country to the next. Personally I would only call pale yellow coloured hair as blonde. Which is usually only found naturally in northern and eastern Europe. But Ive heard people from southern Europe describe people with light brown to brunette hair as being blonde. A lot children from northern Europe have blonde hair when they are children but darkens as they grown into adults.
Yes but there are also light blonde people in southern Europe, as well as there are dirty blonde people in Scandinavia.
@@user-vc8on7fm2o Yes true, I wouldnt dispute that. Though I have heard southern European people describe someone as 'blonde,' when to me that person had light brown hair. Just pointing out that the definition of 'blonde' sometimes is subjective.
I was born with orange hair which became golden blonde, then dirty blonde and then medium red brown with purple highlights in sunlight. Now it's light salt and pepper gray with hints of blonde at 77. I wonder if this is common? My eyes are medium green. German dad, English/Scot mom, green eyes w red brown curly hair/ brown eyes w red brown wavy hair, resp..
I am English and Irish. My ancestors on the English side came here on the Mayflower. My hair was platinum as a child. I have blue-green eyes. It became more golden blonde as an adult. People would tell me my hair looked like spun gold. I am 72. My hair started going gray a few years ago. I have to have it colored golden blonde now.
I had blonde hair as a child, then it turned a dirty blond until my 30's and now it's more of a honey brown, but it still looks like I have no eyebrows 😅 I'm Scottish, Danish, North German and English.
Same!
I had blackish brown hair and on my arms I have still blonde hair thank you including the tarim mummys this is interesting cheers and more coffee toddys for you thanks
Blonde hair and green eyes, Irish man saying hello.
IRELAND BELONGS TO THE IRISH 🇮🇪.
@Occident. your dead right it does.

We have no guns and we need your help. Please help us. Amen.
Im strawberry blonde , everyone in the family is a variation of blonde , or red . All blue eyed . Irish background
light brown, but as a youngster in summer I would get some blond hair at the top of my head, I think it's due to my photobleaching genes, which I know I have, but I will check my genes tonight to see, now they are just getting grey on top,😔 but my youngest sister is dark blond. also, mountainous Greeks like my dad have light hair compared to coast Greeks.
Now confused rs1393350 AA, blue rather than green eyes 1.52 times, I suspect the other genes counteract this one, Blond rather than brown hair 1.29 times, I suspect other genes are countering this, but I could be wrong since one of my cousins has nearly 100% blonde hair and is the son of dad's twin brother. Skin sensitivity to sun 1.26 times, I did burn easily but have counteracted that with vitamin A and nicotinamide. Then again his mum also came from the same mountainous region of western central Greece.
Saludos desde Galicia, España! I have 3 kids a boy and 2 girls all blonde, but the boy is still blonde, now is 37 and his hair is the same, however the girls now have a light brown hair. For us is weird. Thanks for the explanation, and sorry for my English. I'm a MD in a little town by the sea, and most of people have light hair and blue eyes.
In Madagascar, many people have dark blond hair during childhood but it only happens to people from the coast who are very mixed and less asian like.
I was born with white blond hair which went to dark blond as I got older, I started going grey early 30s so those white hairs took me back to platinum blond again, my eyes seem to change colour with what I wear some days they are ice blue, other days they are grey. My colouring is unusual, my heritage is german, english & scottish.
p.s. my Norwegian great granny had dove grey eyes and another great gran had golden eyes so non-dominant genetic traits showing up front & centre, seem to be a feature that runs throughout the generations of my family.
I'm blonde with gray/blue eyes and I get very dark skin in summer.
the vit D hypothesis has 2 components, as humans have 2 ways of metabolizing vit D, from 1)sunlight and 2)food. As long as we were hunter/gatherers, we had enough vit D from food (meat/organs/eggs) but when we gradually switched to agriculture and grains (10k years ago and onwards), we became vit-d deficient. At that point, we were left with only the sunlight option and through natural selection, fair skin quickly spread through the northern populations. The most northerly living humans, the Inuits (Eskimos) carried on with hunter/gatherer life style thus their skin tone never needed to change and remained relatively dark. Specifically blond hair (and red hair), is probably a result of sexual selection, as men select for youth (suggesting good fertility) and beauty (meaning good immune system and genes), and blond hair typically makes a woman look more youthful (neotenous) and attractive.
My hair is grey😂 but before that I had blond hair. My father was blond and my mother dark blonde - my husband was dark blond and both our sons were light blond as children but are now dark blond.
