The appearance of Southern EEF populations
Blondism (and lighter complexions in general) were more prevalent among EEF populations in Northern and Central Europe than those of Southern Europe. Why this occurred is still a mystery. For an idea of what Southern European EEF peoples looked like, take a look at present-day Sardinians, who are ~95% genetically identical to the EEF of Neolithic Italy.

It was from these native European EEF peoples that Southern Europeans inherited their Meditteranean phenotype, not from Middle Easterners nor North Africans, as anthropologically illiterate Leftists, Vargites, and Nordicists often claim. Even before the EEF arrived in Europe, they had lived in Anatolia — which was European until the Turks invaded it in the Second Millennium AD — since the Ice Age. They were not Middle Easterners or North Africans.
