Thinking about blond hair and its short but brilliant history...

Oh shit, I nearly forgot......
Europeans don't need another story about how they got their blonde hair, so fuck you all.

Just more hating of the silver and blonde haired devils ....
Meanwhile, most of the "blondes" aren't really that.

A diet lacking in Vitamin D did not "cause" a mutation. Mutations are random. In this case, lighter skin and hair, which are more prone to allow Vitamin D synthesis due to sun exposure than dark skin and hair, provided a competitive advantage to those with lighter skin.

Thanks, Fifty-Two-Eighty. That's important information that I need to know. I'll be stocking up on the Wild Turkey.

I think blond could be associated with youth due to the fact that for many people their hair gets darker as they get older. There are lots of people that were blondish as children, that have dark hair as an adult. Not really sure why that is though, maybe to allow for more vitamin D synthesis as a child?

@12- Or it just happens. Lots of trivial features are pretty random, not effecting our survival outcomes enough to prosper of disappears.

Blond hair dates back about 11000 years or so. Certainly before the domestication of grain. What exactly do you think the people were eating?
Vitamin D is produced by the body when sunlight strikes the skin. If you wear clothes and it gets dark early, you don't produce enough.
