One of our correspondents came up with that as part of the group of ideas sparked by the topic. It was kind of a neat turn in the road, too. But nanotech is to archaeology what blondes are to quantum physics - an interesting but ultimately unconnected other subject entirely.Leona Conner wrote:I though the discussion here was suppose to be about the eveolution of hair coloring, etc., now your talking about nanotechnology. THAT'S way over my head.
Which is not to say there aren't blonde physicists. Just that being blonde per se has nothing to do with it.
What IS interesting is that the evolution of blondes - especially with grey, blue or green eyes - appears to be an exceptionally rapid adaptation to environmental needs. And it appears that the same capability in human beings is no longer evident. I asked if this is accounted for in the coding of the human genome ... but there are probably other ideas and still more relevant information floating around.
In the meantime, going to the Blonde Cafe, I'd like one in ash blonde, please, green eyes, medium-fair with enough melanin to tan (I cannot), somewhat narrower hips and excessive mammaries; at least four brain cells on the extra-toppings menu. Height in the 5'2" - 5'4" range, weight about 110 pounds avoirdupois. Fully fermented and of complete adult growth. Yes, thanks, that's my table, right over there ....
