Indo-Europeans Reconstruction

[L.o.l.i.t.a]

No surprise to me. I believe that high-frequency blondism developed in pré Indo-European North/Northeast Europe
and only later spread to other populations. Or maybe it's only been heavily selected even more recently. It's not surprising that Irish people have a lot of steppe and little blondeness compared to northeastern Europe. I believe there was a blonde/redhead minority among Indo-Europeans, but in fact most of them had medium pigmentation.

Blondism occured independently in different parts of Europe and West Asia. The very first actual "Blonde Blue eyed" individual was some farmer from Hungary with y Haplogroup G2a as far as I remember. Then there was also some farmers in Anatolia with light eyes, skin, hair.

Ironically while Yamnaya was predominantly dark haired and eyed, individuals from the Kura Araxes culture further South were light eyed and red haired. Yamnaya was yet still dark by European standards but their next descendens on the very same lands like the Srubna culture suddenly turned lighter.

Since the Srubna belonged literally to the same genetic structure as the Yamnaya this shift in pigmentation can't be explained solely by admixture. The primary reason seems to be adaption to a different lifestyle (agricultural) and adaption to the environment.

Light pigmentation is Indoeuropean thing, but Yamnayans are not the only Indoeuropeans existing at the time — side by side with them lived Cordeds, who gave their name to the purest possible nordic type. And btw, those Yamnayans who were discovered had Caucasian admix, as they obviously were purchesing exotic concubines from the south, nothing strage in that, so obviously, the offspring had to be darker than previous generations, and probably, than majority of population, who had no kurgans on their graves.

Your kind of delusion makes me laugh. There is no basis for your claim that 'light pigmentation is "IndoEuropean thing". No serious geneticist talks this kind of nonsense typical of some types of forum members. The illusions about Cordeds are also ridiculous in 2021. Most of the Nordic and Germanic people are R1b and I1, not R1a. Although they have a bit of a 'Baltic mix'. Deal with reality.

They look exotic as heck.

They look exotic as heck.

Because they were, based on pigmentation at least. Even slightly darker than the norm for South Europe. Pigmentationwise more in line with Iran or the Levant. The shading of these reconstructions might be a little too dark. Think of mostly olive or slightly lighter shades of skin pigmentation.

Pigment aside, this guy looks like Cenk Uygur.

Which one? You wrote six incoherent sentences, not even exactly reffering to what I wrote, and mixing different things in time and space. So, I ask again: which reality?
