>By now Europe natives are 50/50 Brown blonde, But were they?
I'm willing to do the 5secs of math to figure out what percentage of Europeans have blond hair or blue eyes, but I've heard that only 5% of the human race has blond hair or blue eyes, and the number of people with both must be smaller.
Also, I can show you via alleles that only a small number or Europeans have the blue eye alleles in HERC2 or blond hair alleles in KITLG. TYRP1 also controls blue and green eye color.
>The neanderthals were around for 700 000 years, and guess what if 50% of them had brown hair then there would be no blondes left today
Neanderthals had the light version of BNC2 - whites inherited it, and East Asians didn't.
How did Europeans get the light version and Asians didn't, despite Asians having more neanderthal DNA?
Europeans were created by founder effects.
There were a group of Africans who had many of the light pigmentation genes like SLC24A5. The Africans who migrated to Europe experienced a founder effect, such that there was a bias in inheritance - the people with pale pigmentation dominated the population outside of Africa, and went almost extinct in Africa.
This was probably 220k years ago, and all Eurasians probably looked like Hispanics or the darker gentlemen in your image.
Around 217k, we bred with neanderthals, and neanderthals had the red hair allele of MC1R. Combined derived BNC2/MC1R/SLC24A5 would produce a light skinned redhead - this phenotype is probably the oldest 'white person.'
By 30k in Anatolia, the derived SLC45A2 allele that was the final piece of the whitr puzzle had become fixed - the entire population had pigmentation only found in modern Europeans.
>And Blonde hair and blue eyes would be the most pure
Blue eyed blonds are the products of 220k years of Eugenics. They are indeed the inheritors of a line of humans that has remained pure for 220k years, and became lighter the whole time.
