BLACK PEOPLE WITH NATURALLY BLONDE HAIR

Hair is simply amazing. The human body and the mechanisms by which it adapts to its environment are mind boggling, and our hair color, texture, porosity and everything else plays a massive part in how well we succeed in a particular environment (or at least it did before we started living in these air conditioned covered boxes).
We all love and nourish our hair, but it’s so easy to forget just how magical these dead cells growing from out of our scalp really are.
Enter the Melanesians, a native group of people living on the Soloman Islands northeast of Australia famous for their beautiful dark skin and naturally blonde hair. Yep, that’s right. They don’t sport weaves, wigs, extensions, permanent dye, temporary dye, some weird henna reaction, or whatever else anyone uses to get the blonde look that’s so typical of the caucasian persuasion. Ten percent of these islanders actually come by it naturally.
The odd combination has got scientists wondering about how such a color combo develops over time. According to the Global Financial Newswires, many scientists have long thought that their blonde hair was a result of a diet high in fish, perhaps bleaching by the sun and salt water, or a reminder of the island’s historic relations with people of European descent.
In fact, the blonde Melanesians have blonde that is unique solely to them. According to the study in which scientists compared 43 blonde hair islanders to 42 dark hair islanders, blonde Melanesians have a variant of a native gene called TYRP1 that plays an important role in the melanin biosynthetic pathway. This variant is completely separate from what causes blonde hair in Europeans, and doesn’t even exist in the European genetic set.
What’s truly beautiful in this fascinating discovery, as so perfectly stated by the study author Sean Myles, a geneticist at Nova Scotia Agricultural College, is that “it’s a great example of convergent evolution, where the same outcome is brought about by completely different means.”
And that makes hair of all textures, types and colors absolutely unique and absolutely beautiful.
Exactly; that is a specific group of blacks that that recessive gene shows up; but we all carry that gene right? it just doesnt manifest because its recessive; so again we dont emulate no one; they all emulate usNever said we didn't
If you read that those people have a special gene that gives the blond hair.
They have unique blond hair white folks don't have or any of your ancestors either.
Another fun fact
Black women wear blonde hair mimicking Europeans not those natives you just posted. Nice reach.Exactly; that is a specific group of blacks that that recessive gene shows up; but we all carry that gene right? it just doesnt manifest because its recessive; so again we dont emulate no one; they all emulate us
ok
I'm going to make a bold prediction and say that Sherika Jackson will spoilt the party in Tokyo and be a major threat for the 100M sprint title... she's normally a 400M runner who has already won bronze medals at both the last World Champs and Olympics, but her coach has recently made her switch focus to the sprints and her improvement over the season has been exceptional.
She ran a personal best of 10.77 in the semi-finals at the Jamaica National championships a few days ago. See the race in the video below.
With the rate she has been improving, added with her incredible form and strength I'll put a bet on her upsetting the field and beating a few of the favourites in the 100M sprint in Tokyo.
Bolt was the anomaly. We normally smoke them.....Weain worried about no island niggus

American sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson looks set to miss the Olympic Games after her US Olympic Trials performance was disqualified because she tested positive for a prohibited substance.
News of the infringement arrives four weeks before the start of the athletics competition at the July 23 to August 8 showpiece in Tokyo.
Richardson could serve a one to three-month suspension for the adverse analytical finding.
According to sources who asked for anonymity, traces of the substance were found in the 21-year-old's sample from a recent drug test.
The test was carried out at the US Olympic Trials.
Several calls, emails and text messages to Richardson's agent, Renaldo Nehemiah, went unanswered.
Since January 1, 2021, the drug has been classified as a 'Substance of Abuse' by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and currently carries a maximum four-year ban.
However, if an athlete can prove that the drug was used out of competition and that there was no sports performance benefit, the ban will be reduced to a period of three months with no need to further examine the degree of fault.
WADA also stipulates that the ban can be reduced by a further month if the athlete is willing to undertake an approved treatment programme in collaboration with his/her national anti-doping body.
If the drug is taken in competition but the athlete can prove that the use was unrelated to performance, a two-year ban will be handed out as the infringement will be considered non-intentional.
Richardson was expected to challenge for the 100m gold medal at the Games, after posting 10.72 seconds in April - one of five legal sub-11 seconds clocking from the American this season.
She won the 100m at the US Olympic Trials on June 19 in a time of 10.86 (wind: -1.0m/s). This performance has been provisionally disqualified.
It is understood that fourth-placed finisher in the 100m at the USA Olympic Trials, Jenna Prandini will replace Richardson in the event at the Olympics, while fifth-placed finisher Gabby Thomas has also been entered.
Richardson's win at the US Trials and her strong personality have drawn the admiration of several US celebrities such as former First Lady, Michelle Obama and actress Viola Davis.
The last message on Richardson's official Twitter account posted just after midday late Thursday evening was "I am human."
I just came across this too and bumped the other thread. Hopefully it is nothing intentional
That ain’t a credible news source.
Probably the same site that posted of Biz Markie's deathJamaica Gleaner? Whattating!
