Why do Anthropologists cite us English as being the palest skinned people on earth?
Just from observations alone, I would agree (minus most English women of course, with their fake tanning parlour orange glows and the bottled tanning dyes), but why the English. Surely there are less sunnier climes on this earth, yet those people seem to tan well enough with limited exposure to sunlight.
Emminent anthropologists Carleton Coon and William Ripley both found through their seperate research projects that the majority of the English population, that is those individuals in England who can trace their ancestry to the 5th Century Nordic invasions of Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, and not from any later waves of immigration are by far the fairest skinned human beings on the planet.
My question is why? It’s cloudier in Russia and Poland, and many of these Slavic peoples are just as blond haired and blue eyed as us English, yet they seem to tan well with increasing exposure to the sun. The same is said of the Germans and the Danes.
We must be a race with the least number of melanocytes in our skin.
