I was wrong. l am sorry.
As you know, you reach the truth through trial and error, and in this video I'm going to explain how I was wrong. And in good European spirit, I'm going to admit that I was wrong in multiple languages. (English) I was wrong, (Swedish) I was wrong, (Finnish) I was wrong, (American) I was wrong, (Norwegian) I was wrong, (Italian) I was wrong, (Russian) I was wrong. (French) Ooh la la, mais non c'est pas vrai, je suis perfectement perfect. (?) [Ooh la la, no way, it's not true! I am perfectly perfect.] Okay, may be the french Varg was a little bit in disagreement with the rest here, but that's very Gallic of him, so we'll live it with that. So in what context was I wrong? Let's find out.
Now I'm not going to apologise for being wrong, because being wrong is perfectly natural. You reach the truth through trial and error, and on the way you make mistakes. So that's perfectly natural. Of course I admit that I made mistakes, but I'm not going to apologise for it. However, I'm going to apologise to all those who have tried to present me as a psychopath. And of course this video is going to ruin all of that, because psychopaths don't admit mistakes. So I'm very sorry guys, you're wrong and I'm proving it here, so tough luck.
To begin with, I'm going to admit that I was wrong in relation to blue eyes and sun blindness. When I was in school I was taught that blue eyes reflected the bluish light from the sun better. But I have found no evidence for that whatsoever,[1]and on the contrary there seems to be plenty of evidence suggesting that blue eyes are indeed more light sensitive, and therefore blue eyes make you become snow blind more easily. So we have blue eyes because we are adapted to life in dark forests. However, blue eyes are better for night vision. This would explain why reindeer have brown eyes during the summer and blue eyes during the winter, not because blue eyes are better to reflect the bluish light from snow, but because in the extreme north you have winter darkness during the winter, and therefore blue eyes are better for them during the winter.
In relation to red hair, I think my Egyptian hypothesis is wrong, and I lean towards believing in the original theory that red hair originated not during the last ice age, but the ice age before that, when Neanderthals mixed with others. And this caused the mutation that in turn led to red hair. And indeed the Neanderthals from then on had a certain percentage of red hair. I cannot tell exactly how much, but I would assume that some groups had more red hair than others, and the rest were of course blonde.
In relation to DNA research I have been overly critical, but I am probably wrong in that context too, and I admit that because I have found a logical reason to explain their claims. And I'm going to explain how I think all of this comes together in a logical sense that it can be explained by the facts that we have, not just the things we believe we have, but the actual facts.
The DNA research that Survive the Jive has referred to, indeed claims that the early Neolithic farmers in Europe were dark. Dark skin, dark hair, dark eyes and so forth. They would look a bit like the modern Sardinians. However I am going to move further back in time to explain all of this. You see, the proto-Europeans, were Neanderthals. And during the last Ice Age, when a certain percentage of them had red hair from admixture, of course during the Ice Age before that, certain groups of Neanderthals moved out of Europe, to Northern Africa, to the Middle East and even down into what is today Ethiopia. And there they mixed with Africans. So when the Ice Age ended,[2]and note this, the Ice Age ended before the glaciers started to retract of course, otherwise they wouldn't have melted to begin with, so it became hotter before the glaciers retracted. And then these groups moved northwards back into Europe, where they met the tiny group of Neanderthals that had stayed behind in Europe.[3]And they were of course hunter-gatherers. These mixed Neanderthals, who looked a bit like modern Sardinians, moved into all of Europe probably, and started to mix with the hunter-gatherers that were there. However, another group of Neanderthals had moved into what is Asia.[4]And they had not mixed with Africans, they had however mixed a little bit with the proto-Asians, that would be the Denisovans. When the Ice Age ended, these Neanderthals living in Asia became very numerous. And unlike the ones that had moved to Africa during the Ice Age, the ones that had moved to Asia had kept most of their Neanderthal features, that would be blonde hair, blue eyes, light skin and so forth.[5]And they became the most numerous.
As has been the case throughout history, the different groups in Europe have mixed with each other, before when they were all Neanderthals, so it didn't change anything. But now they had these African genes from the early Neolithic farmers, and the very little but still Asian genes from the steppe nomads. And the steppe nomads, they were the most numerous. So their genes became the most important, or rather the most dominant. And of course, as we know, their language too, Indo-European, became also the most dominant, because, as I explained in my Indo-European video, of their women marrying the men of the hunter-gatherers, and the men of the early farmers married the hunter-gatherers, and early farmers and so forth. And therefore we see that the amount of DNA from the steppe nomads equates the amount of blonde hair and blue eyes here in Europe. Not because the hunter-gatherers weren't blonde and blue-eyed, but because they were so numerous, and the hunter-gatherers were so few, that their genes became more dominant.
So the Neanderthals remained here in Europe, blonde, fair-skinned and blue-eyed, but they were very few. And then the early Neolithic farmers came to Europe when the ice age ended, from Africa, from the Middle East, and they were mixed Neanderthals. And of course they started to mix with the hunter-gatherers that had remained in Europe.[6]And then later on, the much more numerous steppe nomads returned to Europe, through marriage, and therefore we speak their language, Indo-European most of the time, and therefore we can trace most of their blonde hair and blue eyes to them, because the hunter-gatherers were so few anyway.
The group of Neanderthals that left Europe during the ice age, and lived in North Africa, in Ethiopia and the Middle East, they lived there for so long, and mixed so much with non-Neanderthals, that they no longer had any genes after 100,000 years for blue eyes and blonde hair. On the other hand, the group that lived in Asia, or moved to Asia, did not mix a lot with the denisovans, with the proto-Asians, so they kept their blonde hair and blue eyes, and a little bit red hair, and fair skin. The group that remained in Europe, of course, remained blonde, blue-eyed and fair-skinned. And this would explain why we are not exactly like the Neanderthals of the past, because we have been mixed with Africans and also with Asians. With time, these mixed individuals balanced out, so to speak, and the genes that are not beneficial for survival in Northern Europe were completely removed. And therefore, I am correct, when I say that in classical antiquity, and even the Bronze Age, the Northern Europeans, the Gauls, the Dacians and so forth, they were all blonde and blue-eyed by that time,[7]because all the genes that they have had from the group that came back from Northern Africa, Ethiopia and the Middle East, had been removed, by natural selection.
This also explains why the individuals in Southern Europe remained a little bit dark, because the African and also later on Asian genes were not that much of a disadvantage there during the Warm Period. So I am right in the fact that the dark features are not actually Proto-European, we have them from Africa and Asia. However, when it comes to, for example, the Iberian Peninsula, the dark features there, to a very large degree, do not stem from admixtures with Arabs, the Moors and so forth. However, in relation to Italy and Greece, we know that there has also been an admixture with Arabs, Africans and so forth, or Middle Easterners. I think this hypothesis that I propose here is the correct one, and it adds up with all the facts that we have, in relation to Neanderthals and in relation to movements, in relation to haplogroups.

- The ONE thing I learned about this in school was WRONG. "Big surprise".
- And when it did they had lived in Africa and the Middle East for tens of thousands of years! Even up to 110.000 years!
- Most of them in France.
- "Moved into" or "Never left", actually.
- And a bit red hair too.
- The few Hunter-Gatherers might actually have LOST most of those features by then though, because of admixture with the mixed Farmers returning (with farming) from the Middle East.
- And some red haired.
