Europe Is mostly a dark haired land: The False myte of Europe all Fairish

[GiCa]

2/3 of Europe is dark haired as in medium and dark brown hair

Not just 1/2. But more than it. I correct myslef

[Tooting Carmen]

I still think that, in Europe as a whole, light brown hair and blue eyes are more common than dark brown hair and brown eyes.

I did not think most people thought that Europe was Fair.

Which do you think is more typical for Europe: Sweden or Greece?

I have never been to either country,, but Greece has more people than Sweden. I think Greece has a larger range in phenotypes. But I really do not think either one.

Countries like Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic and even possibly Slovakia, Slovenia and Hungary are phenotypically much closer to Sweden than to Greece, and those countries are right in the centre of Europe.

No! The most common hair colour in Europe is dark or medium to dark brown shades. What is wrong with you? The most common eye colour in Europe is light brown or hazel not blue!!! Dark brown hair and brown eyes is more common than light brown hair and blue eyes! Blue is the commonest eye colour in Scandinavia, Baltic region, British Isles, the Netherlands, northern Germany, Belarussia, northwest Russia. That's it!

I have partially revised my opinion since this thread was originally opened. GiCa has a point, even though she did exaggerate: when looking at Europe as a whole, its blondness/fairness is often overrated.

IMO, most of Europe is not pale and blonde, in plan of being a continent full of very pale, blond, and blue eyed people, but most of Europe (including southern Europe) is not dark-swarthy either, but full of millions and millions of people with fair skin tones (not swarthy, but not too pale either), and chestnut to dark blonde hair tones, from Greece to British Islands and from Spain/Portugal to Russia.

What changes is the frequencies of lighter and darker types, in a very clinal fasihion, as you move from north to south, but the common denominator everywhere in Europe, will always be a huge abundance of people with fair skin tones, and chestnut to dirty blonde hair tones (a very regular, medium, and average European complexion). That's why people with that kind of intermediate complexion tend to be passable in many parts of Europe.

The swarthy southern Europeans, who would stand out as darker and more exotic than average, everywhere North of the Pyrenees, the Alps and the Danube river, are a minority in ALL of southern Europe (even in Crete, Sicily and Andalusia). And the super blond and pale as fuck northern Europeans, who would stand out as Vikings in most of Europe, are a minority in northern Europe as well.

Nah, there's barely any difference between a Iraqi and a South Italian, grow up
