European Hair, Eye, and Skin Color: Solving the Puzzle

Author: 

Frost, Peter

Credentials: 

Peter Frost holds a Ph.D. in Anthropology from Université Laval, in Quebec, Canada.

Europeans, especially those from northern and eastern Europe, are unique in having diverse hair and eye colors and a skin almost as pale as an albino’s. Those colors are not only brighter than the original black and brown but also “purer”—they lie within thin slices of the visible spectrum. Overall, that color scheme is more developed in women, who naturally have a higher incidence of red hair, blonde hair, and green eyes. They also have fairer skin. The distinguishing features of Europeans began as female features.
