Just interesting, ping.
HUMMM let’s see could they have got it from one of THESE guys:

Yep, the exact same thing came to mind for me, too.
Probably from some Marines leaving their mark just passing through
Guadalcanal, New Georgia Island and Bougainville
“The researchers also found that the variant of TYRP1 that causes blond hair in Solomon Islanders is entirely absent in the genomes of Europeans.”
***European traders and explorers who came to the islands. ***
About 45 years ago I read a book on THE LOST FLEET OF ALEXANDER. The author claimed that the fleet did not return west from India upon Alexander’s death, but sailed EAST, into the Pacific and later landed in South America.
Post Du Jour! LMAO!
I still think Humanity has not evolved in 5 thousand years. The evolution will washed away once and for all, with God’s DNA touch.

"The gene variant responsible for blond hair in the islanders is distinctly different from the gene that causes blond hair in Europeans."
Such genealogies were popular in the late medieval period among the merchant class and minor nobles, with something of a Victorian era revival of the practice, it lent a little grandeur to those striving for such. Think Millicent Bucket, lol.
The one I saw did follow the legendary path to the letter, but included an individual belonging to a no doubt mythical people of Ireland, the Tuatha Dé Danann, so it's apocryphal.
The legendary and the genetic don’t necessarily disagree. Tubal, son of Japheth, and descendants were noted for their skill with metal. The dominant haplotype of Ireland, Wales, scottish highlanders, etc. traces through Bronze Age areas noted for metallurgy.
History has long maintained that the Anglo-Saxon overtaking of the Iron Age Celts was the origin of the British people. Celtic Britain reconstructs the peopling of Britain through a study of genetics, climatology, archaeology, language, culture, and history and overturns that myth and others. The Anglo-Saxons, who supposedly conquered the Celts, contributed only five to ten percent of the British gene pool. The Atlantic Celts, long believed to have migrated to Britain from Central Europe around 300 BC during the Iron Age, can be linked genetically to the people of Basque country. And linguistic evidence suggests that, besides Celtic languages, a Germanic-type language similar to Norse was also spoken in Britain long before the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons.
In this groundbreaking study, Stephen Oppenheimer explaines the surprising roots of the present-day cultural identities of the English, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh.
Ya’ think! :>)
