True though that is probably the result of Russian migrations, the origin of blonde hair is probably ultimately from the Steppe where it has a genetic record going back 15000 years, i think it didnt arrive in Britain until quite late, the western French are very unblonde for their geographical position and probably resemble more ancient Britons.

In addition, it is also fallacious to assume that the people of the British Isles didn't have a significant blonde strain before the Scandinavian and Saxon incursions. Do you have evidence that pre-AS/Viking Brits were genetically and physiologically closer to Iberians than to Scandinavians?
I wrote it based that the R1b haplogroup types generally don't present high % of blondism as in Iberia, Ireland, (West France as above mentioned) having Ireland the lower % of blondism in Northern Europe. That blondism happens when there is an admixture with scandinavian or baltic populations. Since the British Isles are a part of the R1B group I presume it had more in common with iberians than scandinavians, with ofc the previously mentioned differences.

Yeah it is true that the British are noticeably more brunette than are most other Europeans of a similar latitude, with the discrepancy being especially true between Scots and those of a similar latitude. Still, it is unquestionable that the British look at least three times more similar to Danes and Norwegians than to Iberians. (Finns and possibly Swedes might be another matter).
