If England is primarily Nordid, why is only 25 percent of the population blonde?

[Nicolaus]

England is primarily Keltic Nordic. The Keltic variety of Nordic is typically medium brown haired (#7-#9 in Fischer-Saller scale below), meaning somewhere in between pure brunette and true blond hair. The English are mostly medium brown haired, so there is no contradiction.

medium brown is 5 and 6

Virtually all phenotype maps of Europe show that in England about 50-60 percent of the population (the majority) is Nordid. They show that the most common phenotype of England is Nordid, whether that be Hallstat, Dalofaelid, Trønder, Anglo-Saxon, or others. The second most common is Mediterranean.

However, studies show that only 25 percent of the population of England is blonde-haired. The majority of England (about 60-70 percent) is light haired (light brown, red, and blonde), but only 25 percent is blonde. How do we explain this? Is the environment in Scandinavia more favorable to blonde hair? Did sexual selection result in blonde hair being more common in Scandinavia?

Is it also possible that the English are composed of less pure Nordids, such as Sub-Nordid? Sub-Nordid are Nordid, but less pure. They are more likely to have brown hair.

you should study more about the racial issues.. first of all the second most common phenotype is not the proper mediterrenean obviously.. and the keltic nordid is a primary nordic type and the most common in great britain, usually doesn't have blond hair but light brown or medium brown.. here the explaination why england is primarily nordid even if the pure blond hair is not so widespread.

England is not primarily Nordid. Nordids are beocming less day by day thanks to immigration and recessives genes. Even Sweden will be primarily not Nordid in 40-50 years.

Because England is West Germanic not North Germanic :

My genetics here : distance :

0.034 Kevin(pierreuno) = 65% DEU(Germany)_Karsdorf_LN (Late Neolithic)+ 35% England_N(Neolithic)

The English neolithic/mesolithic was not nordic.

Pure nords tend to be dumb really unlike Goethe, Kepler, Newton, Byron, Shakespeare etc..

Pure nord :



West Germanic :

Swabian :





English :

Wouldn't have thought England is predominantly Nordid. Would have thought more more Atlandtid, Anglo-Saxon. But that's just my uneducated observation.
