Well, a lot of it had to do with availability, for lack of a better way to put it.Blammo said:[/color][/font]
Well, my Father and Mother both have brown eyes and hair. I have blonde hair and blue eyes, my Sister has reddish brown hair and a darker tone to her skin than the rest of us, and I already mentioned my Brother who has brown eyes, hair, and very pale skin with freckles.
We are all one race really. I suppose if there were more bi-racial marriages we would see many more mixes of physical features. I guess what I was trying to ask is; Why do some of these physical features typically accompany the same common 2, 3, or more at a time. Perhaps over the centuries people tried to mate with those who looked like themselves.
For millenia, people had access only to people of similar regional racial characteristics. That has changed, and will continue to change.
Me, I'm a mutt, so much so that I've actually had myself tested for sickle cell trait, because you never know.
