(VERIFY) April 28, 2023: All blue-eyed people share a specific genetic trait (mutation) that leads scientists to believe that all blue-eyed people share an ancestor from 6,000 to 10,000 years ago. Read more: verifythis.com/article/ne...

How'd blond hair, blue eyes spread to Europe?

(Celtic History Decoded) Look at this map that shows the countries with the most people with blue eyes in the world. Now look at this map that shows the countries with the most people with naturally blond hair in the world. As we can see, there is a strong overlap in Scandinavia and the northeast of Europe.

• Now we can all have blue eyes, too! (Myeyebb Sale)

Countries like Sweden, Finland, Norway, Estonia, as well as Iceland (which was settled by Nordics known as the Norse), have the highest levels of people with blond hair and blue eyes in the world.

Why is this though, and when did this phenomenon of blond hair and blue eyes first develop, and how did it spread to Europe? Let’s start by looking at the origins of blue eyes and blond hair.

First up is blue eyes. I often see people on the internet quoting outdated information on the origin of blue eyes. This is because the initial research came from a team from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2008 who identified the genes involved in blue eye color developing in humans. #blueyes #blondehair #ancestry
