Wiedzmin_fan: http://strangemaps.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/blond_hair_map1.jpg Interesting map... I cant believe Eastern England and Scotland have more percentage of blonde hair then Poles though -_- On my dads side everyone has dark hair and on my moms side blonde. Funny enough I have dirty blonde hair though.

Imho, (ethnic) Russians have a lot of blondes. It's hard to compare (does anyone have any reliable data?), but I would say about the same percentage of the population is blonde. For example, here are some pictures of ordinary Russians: olya-ivanova.livejournal.com/463895.html - if you ignore the poverty (it's a poor rural area) and the general mess, they look exactly like Poles.

Your right, there are a lot of Russian that are blond and look like Poles... there is also a sizeable amount that have darker skin and darker hair. I wasn't singling out Russia... i'm just saying that Poles have mixed with lots of slavic country LIKE Russia who have higher percentages of darker hair then pure Poles.

Great information wiedzmin, thanks for posting.

This blonde haired map is more accurate.

It was created by one of the most respected Anthropologists Carleton Coon.

This map shows Southern Italy as darker than Northern Italy. Unlike that other map that you saw before that shows South Eastern Italy as the lightest part of Italy which is laughable.

That is light hair. Which includes Red hair. British Isles have up to 13 percent Red hair. While Poland is very low. I am not sure but probably not much more than 1 - 2 percent

Over 50 percent of people in some parts of the British Isles have Red hair genes. Thing is Blonde hair is more Dominant overlaps over Red hair giving more Blonde hair
