New Mesolithic Scandinavian DNA

Europe was covered with ice and Neanderthals back then But blue-eyed devils kille dthem all

Yeah, but it's crazy how they developed that mutation in west Asia. Have you heard the theories about blue eyes being developed in Europe due to little amounts of light (blue eyes see better in the dark according to what I once read). It turns out that blue eyes and the European environment don't correlate much then.

I guess when Artic Ice sheet was just above Alps and Carpathians, Near East climate was likely similar to Poland

light-pigmentation allele at rs12913832
emerged around 42,000 years ago or earlier;

Szkoda, że nie 42 miliony...

Makes sense then.
Would be so sad if blue eyes had nothing to do with the current climate we live in.

Oh light skin is also quite old.

The large effect light-skin alleles at rs16891982 and rs1426654 were present in SHG, EHG,
CHG and EEF but absent in WHG and PEHG. Similarly, the C11 haplotype is present in hunter-
gatherers (SHG, EHG and CHG but not WHG and PEHG) throughout Europe, as well as in at
least two early farmers. This pattern is consistent with reports that the rs1426654 derived allele
arose ~22,000-28,000 years ago (186, 187), and that the light-pigmentation allele at rs16891982
arose only once in Eurasians (186, 188). A possible geographical origin for these two major
light-skin alleles is West Asia or the Near East (189). Later migrations across the Caucasus
(CHG) and Eastern Europe would have brought it to Scandinavia, while EEF migrations
introduced both alleles into central Europe

Also bear in mind it was colder back then in this area, during Ice Age.

They have nothing to do with climate at all.

What's the point of them according to r1ethelian school?

A different colour. Just.

Mutations don't often happen just for shits n' gigs, but it might be just aesthetic.
