So if "global warming" creates an ice age, blondes will thrive.

Semi-GGG ping.

Does the drapes match the carpet?

[GSlob]

Don't they already? Must be an Ice Age, then.

So I am doing the right thing by driving a car with relatively poor gas mileage then? Good, it's always nice to know that your doing the right thing.

According to the WHO study, the last natural blond is likely to be born in Finland during 2202.

Uh, yah. No junk science is too far fetched to get a WHO grant. Not only is it amazing that a genetic trait that supposedly took thousands of years to flourish is calculated to end in less than two centuries, the southsayers at WHO know the date and location.

I've get to apply for a grant.

I would have thought redheads would be more prized due to their ability to scare off large predators with only their bad tempers.

In any sitiation, my gray hair signals that my production date has expired.

That's good enough for me!!!

Bertha Butt was a blonde? Who knew?

According to the study, 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. ...........Jilly Cooper, 69, the author, described how in her blonde youth she had “certainly got more glances. I remember when I went to Majorca when I was 20, my bum was sore from getting pinched”.

That works both ways.

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.

He married one too.

Why not add as to how they spent so much mental energy changing their hair color that, as a result, they've been dumb ever since? Or how the first one to get knocked up by a caveman wasn't sure the baby was really hers?

In other words, put my vote in the "It Smells Like Bullshit" column.

I think London is putting another one over on the Bloody Wogs.

Bleedin' Wogs!

Rent "The Clan of the Cave Bear" starring Darryl Hannah! Ayla, (Hannah's role), attracts much attention due to her golden locks and willowy looks!!!

She may be the reason that the Neandrathals (sic) didn't make the cut!!!

Ayla!!!

But new research has found that it was cavemen who were the first to be lured by flaxen locks. According to the study, 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.

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.

[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.

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

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

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 ...
