He reasoned that since, compared to males, the bodies of females are more nearly hairless, hairlessness is one of the atypical cases due to its selection by males at a remote prehistoric time, when males had overwhelming selective power, and that it nonetheless affected males due to genetic correlation between the sexes. He also hypothesized that sexual selection could also be what had differentiated between different human races, as he did not believe that natural selection provided a satisfactory answer.</I> <BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-378390/Proof-cavemen-preferred-blondes-too.html" REL="nofollow">Proof that cavemen preferred blondes too</A><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://evoandproud.blogspot.com/2008/08/european-pattern-of-skin-hair-and-eye.html" REL="nofollow">The European pattern of skin, hair, and eye color</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552616.post-75270880637634613902009-01-07T08:13:00.000-05:002009-01-07T08:13:00.000-05:00Actually I was aware of the incidence of blondes i...Actually I was aware of the incidence of blondes in aborigines. The others are quite probably the result of inbreeding with the naturally blonde Vikings or other northern Europeans. The problem -- at least to me -- is where did blonde hair come from and why. Why are cavemen white when the hominids are black? I do agree that the modern gene pool is a homogenized mess but there seems to be some puzzling questions remaining on the evolutionary tree.Roycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512845138486873008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552616.post-35734241570163837812009-01-06T16:32:00.000-05:002009-01-06T16:32:00.000-05:00Just to confuse you even more!Aboriginal Australia...Just to confuse you even more!<BR/>Aboriginal Australians, especially in the west-central parts of the continent, have a fairly high instance of natural blonde-to-brown hair,[22][23] with as many as 90-100% of children having blonde hair in some areas.[24] The trait among Indigenous Australians is primarily associated with children and women and the hair turns more often to a darker brown color, rather than black, as they age.[24] Blondness is also found in some other parts of the South Pacific such as the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. Again there are higher incidences in children but here many adults too carry this indigenous blonde mutation.<BR/><BR/>Some Berber Guanches populations, particularly the now extinct aboriginal population of Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands of the African Atlantic coast, were said by 14th century Spanish explorers to exhibit blonde hair and blue eyes.[25][26] Blondness was also reported among South American Indians<BR/>I dont think of people as different races but as isolated gene poolsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
