Makes no sense when people claim that colour eyes mutated on the Caucasus 20'000 years ago, and then come with blue eyed Amazonians. I guess they mutanted in each and every corner of the world too. /sarcasm.

they have light eyes and light hair and are pale but their white ancestry is from Galicia, Spain.
It's more like the other way around and the dark traits have come in through waves of migration. Especially during bronze age collapse of 1000 BC, but also romans and greeks and byzantines took slaves, and had merchants from all around the world. That's why jews and greeks cluster somewhat, they are all kinda mashed together.
The rounder head germanic look and general smooth features of mediterranean are not the most ancient in europe, but the more archaic looks are. Like the larger faced Iberians, the Irish and Basques, the large headed nordics (which is what greeks used to look like) etc. etc.
When you realize how many skin genes there are and that they're all dominant, you see it's very hard to breed the darkness out, it just doesn't go away. It can in individuals but not populations.
How do i know? It's just my opinion.Quote:

That's hilarious coming from you. And how old would you be?Quote:

Greeks and many Europeans have genetic ties to the Middle East, which date far back to the Neolithic.
