Do we really know that a certain allele causes blond hair and blue eyes, or is it just a statistical correlation? The result was then blended with the ancient Thai’s own skull details, teeth, bone, and even facts about her life. As the title says, this article is focused on the Proto-Indo-Europeans and their relation to the rise of blondism but I’ll be including “Early-Indo-European” (Pre-Iron Age) populations as well. They share a common ancestor from Siberia. – Current / Backup Scientists diagnosed the skull as dolichocephalic, a term used when its width is less than 75 percent of its length. Survive the Jive proposed that blondism in Europe may have been somehow linked to the rise of lactase persistence (or lactose tolerance), another neotenous trait that became prevalent alongside blondism. The head was 3-D printed before artists added clothing as well as skin and eye color.[4]. Said to be those of Jesus’s female apostle Saint Mary Magdalene, the skull stares out from a display case. Enduring horrendous interrogations meant to get names, she claimed that she could not give any because witches at gatherings wore masks. At the end of the last Ice Age, some 10,000 years ago, the Caucasus hunters must have mixed with the other Yamnaya lineage once they were free to expand their reach. But others caution that Naia could merely be a natural variation of the population.

Western Steppe Herder (WSH) ancestry is believed to have been spread throughout large parts of Eurasia by the Yamnaya. Which modern group mostly resembles the Yamnaya faces? They were surprised when she showed up (as a sculpture). This new technique revealed a woman who could pass for a modern person despite being born 13 millennia ago.

The Caucasus hunter-gatherer ancestry is the best match we’ve found for the European genetic component found right across modern Indian populations,” Jones said. Kha' 3,967 9.

I think they got everything except the colors right. Dogs’ floppy ears, for example, are a puppy trait that was artificially selected (probably unintentionally) while humans were taming wolves.

Her front teeth had also been wrenched out.

Blonds simply being more aesthetically attractive likely contributed to the blondification of Europe too. A similar population must have migrated into South Asia at some point, says Eppie Jones, a PhD student from Trinity College who is the first author of the paper. The causes of this are currently a debated mystery, but Survive the Jive has posited a pretty likely explanation: Blondism is ‘neotenous,’ a juvenile trait that persists into adulthood after having been genetically selected for whatever reason. Long before the Incas, the Moche culture flourished in Peru. Paupers make for exploitable corpses. Some of the oldest human remains from the Western Hemisphere were forgotten for decades in a museum. In other words, it was naturally selected for by environmental pressures, such as food scarcity. Scientists produced a 3-D printed copy of Meritamun’s skull and brought to life a beautiful Egyptian girl with information gleaned from the scans. Now, recently, ‘reconstructions’ of Nariokotome boy and Neanderthals. 135 9. The Corded Ware and descendants were responsible for the spread of most (but not all) Indo-European ethnic groups around Eurasia. Work-in-progress. The pigmentation of these populations was within the range of present-day Europeans, so don’t expect anything extreme. There’s a fourth tribe of founding European forefathers. Researchers have shown that about 20 percent of the Neanderthal genome survives in humans of non-African ancestry. Some scholars suggest that natural selection changed how Native Americans look over time. Med region peoples imho, and maybe some balkan peoples. Those people actually were blue eyed, pale, tall people (not all of them ofc) and it were the descendants of the Corded Ware which migrated across Asia.
