Here we have two maps, one for what I am going to call blond hair, though they are calling it light hair here. The other is for what I call blue eyes, but they are calling them light eyes here.
These are of course the Aryan Prize Jewels. What is funny is that the centers of Blondness and Blueness seem to be in some cases outside of the Land of Odin and Thor.
Blondism, with an epicenter around central Scandinavia.
For instance, the lower half of Finland, plus central Sweden and Norway, are Ground Zero for blonds. You can hardly spit in any direction around there without hitting a wolverine, a caribou, or some blond and blue hottie. If it wasn’t too cold to fuck, the place would be a sexual paradise!
What is interesting about this is that the your true Nazis always held that the Finns are “Asiatics,” and therefore not really White. What’s wrong with almond eyes and submissive, slender women, I’ll never know, but the Mighty Whiteys think this Chinky stuff is no good. Better a strong German woman who looks like she could shot put you across the room I guess. Sometimes Nazis are hard to figure.
Anyway, we see that Russia, in particular far northwestern Russia, is also a Hot Zone for major breakouts of blond and blue, especially for the blue eyes.
The epicenter for blue eyes seems to be a bit east of the blond breakout, around Estonia or just to the east in Russia.
In fact, the center for azure isises seems to be around Estonia or a bit east of there in the Ingrian region, a bit south and further east than the Almogordo of the blonds, noted above as central Scandinavia. Once again, the Nazi types insist that these centers of Aryanism are fatally contaminated with them dirty Asiatic genes.
I would say that these are markers of mutations. One, for blond hair, in central Scandinavia, around 9,000 years ago, and the other, for blue eyes, in Estonia around the same time.
Why they persisted is a mystery, as they add little Darwinian fitness. I assume that the blond and blue chicks were in hot demand by the fur-draped fellows up there. They all jumped on the blond and blue chicks, and the early Neolithic Marilyn Monroe types pumped out lots of babies. What’s surprising is that these evil bitches stealing all the good men were not all killed by their proto-Viking sisters.
Anyway, since gentlemen prefer blonds, the mutation spread, and nowadays we even have blond and blue Jews, though most of those come from bottles and contact lenses.
The maps are interesting. The general Scandinavian – Baltic region seems to be an epicenter, with the Finnic region predominating. Taking the median of the blond epicenter in central Sweden with the blue eyed epicenter around Novgorod in Russia just east of Estonia (Ingria), we get a blond-blue epicenter around Tampere, Finland in southern Finland about 150 miles north of Helsinki. Northwestern Russia has a lot of Finnic and general Scandinavian genes. After all, the St. Petersburg region and environs was ruled by Swedes for centuries.
We have a strange strip of blond along the forbidding Pomeranian coast of Poland, near the V-2 rocket test site. The outbreak of blonds in the Galicia region of Spain is interesting. These folks say they are Celts, and perhaps they are. Moving to France, we see another outbreak in Brittany, once again attributable to Celtic Bretons. In the UK, blondism trends to the East, but this was where the Danish influence and the Danelaw was greatest.
Heading down to Italy, we see that the Venetian speaking region in far northeast Italy is a blond outlier, not the general “Padania” of the northern separatists. Since this region was long under the Austro-Hungarian Empire, perhaps the answer can be found there. There is another blond outlier on the heel of the Italian boot in the Puglia-Salento region that is also unexplained. There are a lot of Greek and Albanian genes in this region, but how do we get blondism from that?
The blue eyed map also shows some interesting things. In Spain, there is an area of very dark eyes, but it is a little to the east of the Moorish area. There is an area of somewhat lighter eyes in North Africa on the border of Algeria and Morocco that is unexplained. A commenter says it was from Vandals. That region is in the area of the Middle Atlas Mountains and much of the Rif Range. There are a lot of the more pure Berbers in area – Riffians in the Rif and Chleuh in the Middle Atlas.
The Riffians in particular are very light – 36.8% of them have blond hair and blue or green eyes, higher than the % of light hair among Spaniards and Italians. Riffians have a moderate amount of Alpine and Nordic features for a Mediterranean race. Considering that Riffians are lighter than Spaniards or Italians, it seems insane that White Nationalists say that they are “non-Whites.” The Chleuh are also quite light, see pics.
Czechs have lighter eyes than Slovaks, and Turks have lighter eyes than most Italians, perhaps due to heavy Slav influence. The far south of Switzerland has darker eyes and hair than the Swiss to the north of them. This is the Italian, Lombard and Romansch speaking region of Switzerland.
The Blonde-ism of Scandinavia and the Baltic is due to the change in diet towards crops several thousand years ago.
Uniquely for northern regions, the Scando-Baltic area is good for growing grain crops (because of the Gulf Stream). Nowhere else in the world were these kind of crops so far north. This change in diet meant that they were unable to get enough Vitamin D, which they had previously received from a heavy meat-based hunter-gather lifestyle. Natural selection’s answer was to reduce melanin so that Vitamin D could be absorbed through the skin. The introduction of the potato may have accelerated blonde-ism.
Other northern peoples, like Eskimos, are still quite dark since they get huge amounts of Vitamin D from fish and meat.
Interesting. No need to eat Lutefisk anymore then.
The Blondes of Galicia and Venice are probably due to Gothic influence.
The lighter area in N Africa is attributable to the Vandals. Perhaps ironically, many of these Vandals became Muslims and invaded Spain.
What about the Berbers?
St. Petersburg was ‘not a Swedish city for centuries’.
It was built on virgin soil, largely uninhabited, (which was won off Sweden in a Russian?swedish war), from scratch by Tsar Peter the Great, hence its name.Peter the great built on an epic scale as his ‘window on the world’ employing the best Italian architects – the hard manual labor was done by Swedish prisoners of war.
” largely uninhabited”
Actually, it was inhabited by finnic peoples.
” (which was won off Sweden in a Russian?swedish war), ”
A little skirmish called The Great Northern War that involved more than just Swedes and Russians.
“Tsar Peter the Great, hence its name”
Actually, it was named after St. Peter. Hence the name SAINT Petersburg. Later it was named after Lenin (Leningrad), but thankfully that ended.
” the hard manual labor was done by Swedish prisoners of war”
Actually, the hard manual labor was Peter pretty much enslaving his own people. That capital cost a ton in blood and gold. It built on a fucking swamp and its nothing like other Russian cities. dostoyevsky called it something along the lines of ‘the most artificial city in the world.’ (From Notes from Underground. It;s a famous quote, you can probably find it on the net). For all the talk about Peter modernizing Russia you have to add that he was pretty cruel. I guess he’s like Stalin in that regard.
Thanks for that, Daffyd. That’s fascinating.
It’s important to keep racial purity. The effects of tens of thousands of years of evolution would be completely wiped out through mixing with the darker races.
I’ve seen those maps before, but I’m not sure they’re very accurate. What data are they based on? You have to ask that question a lot when dealing with this kind of thing.
Durign the war, the Nordic Nazis dropped the whole blond hair, blue eyed prop for a pan-European propaganda.
Being Lithuanian (heritage, I’m actually an American) I’m right in the epicenter and it shows. Still, I find I’m insanely attracted to darker haired women, though I do like the blue eyes, and I very much like extremely pale, almost porcelain-colored skin.
And the Nazis were stupid for killing about 2 million poles (apart from the Jews) even blonder and more blue-eyed than they were, not to mention a good number of Lithuanians and Russians. Absurdly against their theology.
very interesting! i’ve been googling about berber genomes studies when i came through your blog.
I am moroccan, more precisely from Northern Morocco. My mother is Riffian and the people in real morocco (we mooved to centre part of morocco) who don’t know her, always take her for a french or northern european, for she is blue eyed and blonde like all her sisters and especially her brothers. (besides the clothes maybe and her speaking french all the time). The same goes with all my mother’s family.
But what is struggling many moroccans themselves, is that many Riffians are not just blue eyed and light skinned, they look very nordic too..
My fatherinstead, even though very light skinned doesn’t look nordic at all, maybe mideastern, syrian.
