My two nominations are:
(1) The UK. Despite the fact that most of the country has a more northerly latitude than the Netherlands and Germany, the British are, as a whole, noticeably darker-haired than the Germans and the Dutch. This goes against the usual pattern that the further north you go, the more blondes there are.
(2) Iran. Despite being so far east, Iranians are, as a whole, considerably lighter-complexioned than Iraqis, Gulf Arabs and South Asians. Thus, their location does seem to be rather anomalous.
Does anyone else have any ideas?
