Do white people have blonde hair because it blends in with the snow?

Did people that didn't have blonde hair all starve to death in winter time?

Blond hair, blue eyes, and Rh- blood are genetic characteristics of the Aryan Race. At the end of the last ice age the mid Atlantic islands sank and the Aryans migrated to mainland Europe, north Africa, japan, and south america where they founded civilization. Slowly their genetic purity was lost by cross breeding with other less intelligent kinds of humans. Some people say that the Aryans came down from heaven a complete distinct species, superior to all the others. Some say they had their genetics modified by aliens. Geographic isolation could just as easily led to their evolution.

did that answer your question?

I think the prevailing theory is demelanization didn't just stop at the skin
hair just got caught in the crossfire

Genes are a messy spaghetti of signals. The ones for light skin also cause blond hair if a couple other ones are right. There may also have been a lot of sexual selection going on.

Not really.
It's garbage despite races being different.

I don't see why both ideas couldn't work together.

I'm not sure if hunter-gatherers were capable of thinking to cut all of their hair off so as to blend in with the landscape to have an easier time hunting, and then it'd be hard to maintain.

I think, to a certain extent, I am guessing.
I don't have enough information to say that it's more or less than cross-fire, but I think it's still strange that you get enough of a schism from northern and southern Europe for blonde hair to dominate in the North and be rare in the South (Italy).

Blonde hair is just a genetic mutation that proliferated due to sexual selection. It has nothing to do with snow or cold climates since Melanesians have their own blonde mutation gene (independent of Europeans) as well and are located in Oceania within the south hemisphere.

Sorry anon but blonde hair is just a meme gene that got popular in Nord countries.

It's a genetic offshoot, and it's very rare for it occur, but it's still there.

It's like albino skin.

What's strange to me is that it would grow to dominate from an off-shoot and not be totally repressed by other genetics. I can't say that Blonde hair is naturally attractive.

The Melanesians mutated blonde hair, but it came to dominate because of a small island populace.

I think it mutated at a faster rate in European populaces due to a lack of melanin in the first place.

but southern europoors are more balck that the northern ones

Only in certain areas.
Most Italians are pure European.

On top of this, I don't think being 2% black really changes anything.
