Such as the blond hair distribution of Europe

It is very likely to encounter more blond and light-colored eye Polish people along the Baltic Coast than in any other parts of the country.

I've always liked a map.

Far more than I like flow charts or Venn diagrams.
They beat lists and day!

It is true.I have noticed that.Generally people living in former Hansa teritorries(Hamburg,Holland,Gdansk,Riga,Talinn,Bergen etc) tend to look tall,blond,Viking like,sometimes different from populations inside the country.

I know three Scots, two with dark hair, dark eyes and pale skin, the other ginger. That's the ones I know personally. The ones I don't know personally, ie. on the internet, I can't be so sure about, but I know at least one of them is entirely covered in hair and his knuckles drag along the ground

I've also noticed that Slovaks tend to be a lot darker.

ginger hair comes from the blond gene, two people with red hair can have blond children. I have red haired ancestors

These maps are interesting as I said before, but how do they get the statistics for something like hair?

That's true enough. I see myself as a red-headed Celt, a descendant of the Picts I guess. It's be cool to have viking blood. How about u noimmigration, r u blond?

And so what ? I know all that, except that there are more blond and blue eyed Scots than Poles...i'm not sure about that...
Tell me noimmigration, "blond hair" blue eyes", is there anything about the pure race/blood ?...just been wondering...
Btw, isn't your second name Adolf ? Hehe, just curious... ;)

Polls maybe...

Possibly...noimmigration sees himself belonging to the upper race or something...
Btw, Vikings were not all blond and blue-eyed, that's a myth ;)

I don't know, but I have an old Atlas of the British Isles with hair colour in maps (this one divided over three four different maps for the different hair colours). As this dates from the 1950s, it shows a situation before more recent large-scale population movements.

There isn't 'the blond gene' - it is much more complex than that. There are many more redheads in the British Isles and Ireland, then again another peak amongst certain populations in the eastern side of European Russia, then there is quite a strong redhead element amongst Ashkenazi Jews, whereas predominance of blond hair doesn't entirely correlate with this.

Yeah but actually blond and red-hair people share the same gene...red hair is a kind of blond hair.

I thought polls but I'm still not sure. The majority of Scottish females that I know who have blonde hair are only blonde because they dye it that way. They are naturally brunette or alike.

Just one gene? So there's actually a consistent correlation between numbers of blond-haired and red-haired people?

I hadn't realised cannabis has been decriminalised in the UK. They say smoking cannabis can cause paranoia. These days I don't touch the stuff, but the fact that I stop taking it and they relax the laws around it proves that I was right to be paranoid.

Bonus type:
It also looks like the UK is not the fullest country in Europe. From the map it looks as though the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and maybe even Itlay are more densely populated.
