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

Oddly enough, they also liked fur.

Interesting. As I research this more, I'm finding these cavegirls also didn't spend a lot of time worrying about what to wear to the hunt party.

Well this would explain why I used to get run over for blondes *LOL*

I would have liked the theory to also explain blondism among Australian aborigines, who are as far from Europe as you can get.

Where do they get this stuff? You certainly can't make it up. And scientists wonder why they lack credibility. This is all speculation as far as I can see from the article.

We provide warmth ;)

Oi Martin, so if we lived back then, we'd have our pick of the leftovers?

Whatcha think?

How is this any different than today? Just look at the number of blonde porn stars versus brunettes.

Lighter hair colours, which started as rare mutations, became popular for breeding and numbers increased dramatically, according to the research, published under the aegis of the University of St Andrews.

Sounds like BS to me. Lighter hair colors are synonymous with regions where cold climates favored lighter skin colors that absorb more vitamin D with limited sun exposure. Add that to the fact that the writer doesn't know the difference between a natural blond and a bleached brunette Hollywood bimbo and you have to believe the whole article is BS.

I prefer Global warming myself.

Oceans will rise 20 feet, means I don't have to drive as far to get to the beach.

My heating bills will go down do to shorter winters.

With the hotter weather woman will wear shorter shorts, tighter tops.

I know I repeated that one, but it is my favorite. :-)

"...few plants edible for humans. Women therefore took on jobs such as building shelters and making clothes while the men went on hunting trips...."

This must explain why I hate to cook, but love working on my house and knitting!!

Women don't have to compete for men. Men are never "scarce."

On the contrary. Men compete for women. So it was women selecting the blond men that made blondness more common.

Sheesh.
