How did blonde hair evolve to be?

Question

plenty of Scandinavian have brown hair too

Answer 1

Yeah, blonde hair came to be simply from mutation. And adaptation to climate.

Answer 2

It's a very recent mutation on the MC1R gene, originating in Northern Europe. It's thought to be about 11,000 years old, if you trust the worked out dates from the labs.

Blondes have been seen in cave art from Libya dating to the last Saharan 'wet' phase about 6,000 years ago, so it must have spread like wildfire to reach North Africa so quickly. It looks pretty, so people with blond hair probably just had more s*x, and had more kids.

Answer 3

anglo saxons and vikings

Answer 4

About 16% of the Nordic peoples are blonde.

Blonde hair evolved the same way red and brown did.

Answer 5

bleach?
