Cavegirls were first blondes to have fun

I'm throwing the BS flag right here on the basis that, regardless of endless pointy headed archeological babbling, this is just not knowable and depends on endless unprovable suppositions.

Of course it's BS. But they had all this research grant money, they had to come up with something.

[JCEccles]

More wild-eyed speculation being fobbed off by Darwinists as "science."

If physics, chemistry, or mathematics theories of similarly laughable imprecision were allowed to be put forth as "science" mankind would still be mired in the 14th Century.

An easier explanation is that the proto-European population that first moved into Europe 35,000 years ago in the far North found that without pigmentation they could produce more Vitamin D and thereby survive.

Presumably they did a bit of recombinant DNA technology rather advanced for its time and ended up with clear skin, light hair, and gray eyes.

I really have no idea where those "blue" eyes came from, but I suppose it's possible they are a variation on gray.

Oh, yes, the mechanism for doing this? Without Vitamin D you get rickets ~ and presumably you fail to reproduce at a level sufficient to maintain the population.

Light skin is a uniform identifying characteristic of all Polar peoples.

Do you know why cavemen dragged cavewomen around by the hair?

[festus]

LOL. You aint kidding. And I guess as long as your using grant money studying blondes isn't such a bad way to do it ;-)

[festus]

"Do you know why cavemen dragged cavewomen around by the hair?"

Hmmm. The cavewomen were to fat to walk ?

[Mamzelle]

Is that Grace Kelly?--sure looks a lot like her

[SWAMPSNIPER]

It has to do with sand, don't want to go further into detail, and get banned!!!

re: My blonde, blue eyed father-in-law grew up in a Nebraska town where everybody in town was a blonde, blue eyed Danish-American, except for those who were blonde, blue eyed Norwegian-Americans. He told me that, as a teenager, he and his friends would drive an hour each way just to go to another town where they could meet...........hubba, hubba.........brunettes.)))

I can remember "tow haired" as an epithet. Right now, Asian girls are the New Blonde.

The nice thing about being an evolutionist, archeologist, cosmologist or anthropologist is that you can say anything you want, because you can never really be proved wrong. It's not like developing a new medication where somebody is going to keel over and accuse you.

And, when the next Silly Opinion comes along and crowds yours out of currency, who is going to care? Old Opinions just fade away, and the holders never are held to account.

They don't need an ice age. Peroxide will do.

[LiteKeeper]

north European women evolved blonde hair and blue eyes at the end of the Ice Age to make them stand out from their rivals at a time of fierce competition for scarce males.

Implies some kind of intentionality and control over the process. That is NOT evolution.

[Chi-townChief]

Not sure.

I forgot to ping pissant.

And many in northern Russia (which is where the Inuit presumably came from).

[MozarkDawg]

Film star blondes such as Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Sharon Stone and Scarlett Johansson are held up as ideals of feminine allure. However, the future of the blonde is uncertain.

Not certain of Johansson, though I have my suspicions ... all these *blondes* began life as brunettes! Gee, perhaps there is something to that evolution thing ...

[wagglebee]

I'm pretty certain that Marilyn Monroe was a real blond.
