Europeans drawn from three ancient 'tribes'
BBC ^ | 17 September 2014 | Paul Rincon

... Pigmentation genes carried by the hunters and farmers showed that, while the dark hair, brown eyes and pale skin of the early farmer would look familiar to us, the hunter-gatherers would stand out if we saw them on a street today.

"It really does look like the indigenous West European hunter gatherers had this striking combination of dark skin and blue eyes that doesn't exist any more," Prof Reich told BBC News.

Many of the Yazidi Tribe in Iraq look that way, swarthy, olive skin with green or blue eyes. At least the Yazidis that remain after the mountaintop slaughter this summer.

I think the fact that hunter gathers tended to be about 6’7 and built like wrestlers would have made them stand out more.

"But another, mysterious population with Siberian affinities also contributed to the genetic landscape of the continent."

These would be the Denisovians.

Perhaps, but perhaps a group of Homo Sapien Sapiens who followed them. All going to say that it’s complicated and we know very little, though certainly more than we knew 100 years ago.

Then we have these guys hanging out in Georgia 1.8 million years ago:

Stranger In A New Land

Image: JOHN GURCHE PORTRAIT OF A PIONEER With a brain half the size of a modern one and a brow reminiscent of Homo habilis, this hominid is one of the most primitive members of our genus on record. Paleoartist John Gurche reconstructed this 1.75-million-year-old explorer from a nearly complete teenage H. erectus skull and associated mandible found in Dmanisi in the Republic of Georgia. The background figures derive from two partial crania recovered at the site.

This is about as relevant as Red Headed women with brown eyes, which I find unattractive.

My father’s entire family had dark skin and blue eyes! Going back to my great grandmother Mary Ann Burch Hargrove. Tall statuesque woman, blue eyes, dark skin, wore her jet black hair pulled back in a chignon bun, smoked a pipe, played accordian. Died after having 8 kids. She was 1/2 Cherokee.

There are two very handsome young black guys who work at Hobby Lobby in Ontario California area, with the bluest eyes ever. Not dark blue. Crystal blue. Dark skin, black hair, strinking in looks!

Oh I knew one you would think was gorgeous. She had an ususual shade of red hair, kind of a rust color and her brown eyes were the same color. She was very beautiful and when she was in a room all eyes were on her.

With your post I am confirming the into Africa theory.

The Zulu's used to kill the last child from multiple births and those born with Blue eyes.

Two at the same workplace? Could be a coincident or they may buy the same brand of colored contacts. Only their Optometrist knows for sure.

I live in an area with a lot of Female Red Heads, when they look at you with those brown eyes they are sizing you up for conquest or sacrifice, see Julius Ceasar and his observations.

Tribes fighting tribes for food and territory; winners killed the men and took the women. This has always been the pattern, in all of history and today i.e. German & Japanese wives from WWII, Korean brides, Vietnamese brides for victorious young warriors.

The differing physical features are simply additions to the tribal gene pools.

My 2nd wife had red-hair and green eyes. She was attractive but, mean.

Red Headed Women have a genetic implant that urges them to clean up the battlefield. Cutting the throats of the wounded, the lesser of which reserved to a slow and painful death by tourcher, for the entertainment of the girls tea.

Aside from that I have a genetic preference for Green Eyed Red Heads.
