Notice, however that I'm not trying to push the theory that IE's
where blond/blue eyed just because classical Greeks+Latins may have
been so. For all we know their ancestors along with the Germans and
Celts and Slavs may have been a fair complexion people adopting the
language of a darker complexion people that created IE language.
In fact isn't that a theory to explain the Germanic high percentage
of non IE roots and odd accent and grammar?.
But also notice that the medo-persians mentioned in the Avesta a
mythological first king called Yima or Jima who expanded the IE
speaking tribes (Iranians) into Asia, describing him as blond.
