See I am not the only one

BLONDES have been having more fun for 10,000 years, new research shows.

Flaxen hair and blue eyes spread when there was a desperate shortage of men at the end of the last Ice Age in northern Europe.

The striking combination made women with the traits more attractive and boosted their reproductive success.

As glaciers retreated 10,000 years ago, herds of bison, mammoths and reindeer moved north and were followed by tribes of humans.

The new environment was ideal for hunting but did not have the fruits, seeds and vegetables that humans were used to gathering.

“Hunter-gatherers encountered an environment that led to a male shortage,” said Peter Frost, author of Fair Women, Dark Men: The Forgotten Roots Of Colour Prejudice.

Because hunting was so dangerrous, many young men were killed in the process.

Blonde hair began as a rare mutation among cavegirls and it made the female holders more desirable and better able to compete for the outnumbered men, the professor explained.
