The primitive , tribalist thinking of politically distorted- minded scholars of northern Europe were and are dominant for some time. They are forgetting that they inherited their knowledge of high civilization making capability from southern euro-mediterreneans that have mostly brown or black haired , brown , black , hazel eyed features. Isn't funny that that they made blondizm ,having blue eyed features as being the real civilized most beautiful people of the earth ?
