i read that also, i think. too lazy to google specifics. but i guess both reasons make sense together. winter = lack of sunlight = lack of food = people not wanting to reproduce as willingly

I dunno about the reproduce part, cuz my hometown had a horrible winter in '96, and the hospital reported record birth rates 9 months later. I guess all that time stuck indoors....

Re: Scientists find that blue-eyed individuals have a single, common ancestor
I am inclined to concur with you all... but then soooo many people in different colors are just... sooo beautiful to me!  *MASHALLAH* it's like I couldn't stereotype a typical attraction...

Perhaps you misunderstood me 
I simply meant to suggest that attraction for me is not something that can be confined. I think a lot of the stupidity that happens in this world is when people take knowledge/opinion/etc and attempt to contain it, isolate it, put it in some sterile environment.
To say that something is absolutely true on its own, regardless of the milieu, is foolish. You cannot disregard the framework. It is the framework. The thing to be realized is that nothing can exist in a vacuum. Like Chuck Klosterman says in his book, nothing is “in and of itself.” It cannot be.
At least for me.
I hope that clarified what I meant.
