These are European nations with the highest frequency of blond hair in order of rank:
Finland
Sweden
Norway
Estonia
Denmark
In these same nations, fair skin quite is common, however there are two so-called sub-racial types of the Caucasoid race which dominates in those populations.The so-called Nordid type(typically blond, blue-eyed,a thin,fair skin with rosy tint, slender, long-headed) is predominant among the Scandinavians and another so-called East Baltid(typically blond, gray-eyed sort of wide apart, fair-skinned, stocky-build, round-headed) predominant among Baltic people and among many Finnish people. Do you think that the blond-haired, blue/gray-eyed, fair skin mutation took place in the Baltic region or in Scandinavia? Or perhaps it took place elsewhere, before man inhabitated those northern regions of Europe?
N.B.(The ranking does not include immigrant populations who are of non-European origin or non indigenous to that region).

There is a big difference between genetic heredity and species adaptation. If you know anything about heredity, you know that physical traits favor certain environments. Physical traits in the northern climes are very different form the physical traits of the equatorial environments. This is not rocket science.
Not true due to migrations. Some ethnic groups, such as Eskimos, did originate in tropical climates. Arabs come from cold, harsh climates, etc.
So we really don't know much about adaptations since humans move around, and changes need many thousands of years.
The only people adapted to Europe (a much colder Europe) were Neanderthals, since they lived more than 100.000 years in Europe...but their adaptation was the reason of their demise.

What you means by "Arabs"? Except from Arabian Peninsula, the other peoples speaking today Arabic were speaking other languages before the Islamic conquest.
Languages doesn't correspond to groups of common genetic origin. Languages are adopted by individuals or groups for economical and social reasons. there is not "German", "Celtic" genes, these are linguistic groups.

Thanks for the sanity. But this is the internet after all, so you're fighting a losing battle.

I'm talking about original "Arabs", as those described by Romans. I'm not talking about not-Arab countries invades by Islam...in other words, regions that spoke Arab before Islamic conquest.
Apparently blue eyes originated in the Black Sea region about 6-10 thousand years ago as a mutation. Yes, y'all are mutants lol, but then again evolution is supposed to use mutations to change the species.
