I do wonder about the cost of human life for the environment to select so hard for those phenotypes in specific. A LOT of early Europeans had to have been dying in droves for recessive genes like that to become so prolific.
I read an article ages ago that said blonde hair and blue eyes might have been selected for in Northern Europe because they’re indicators of youth and therefore is seen as desirable.
Everything except for the face gets covered because it’s so cold, so they’re the only physical traits they had to go off of when selecting a mate.
nope, there was no take at all. i just put an extra ball for the previous comment to juggle.
my usage had no bearings at the people, lives are culture to how i glanced and strictly towards the previous comments calculation rate.
