    Are you sure I6750 from England and I5359 from Wales have blond hair? The tables in your previous post indicate both of these individuals had blue eyes but there is no indication of blond hair.

  2. vsva says:

    There are new data from polish neolithic and bronze age. https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/PRJNA318237
    There is 17 genoms. Can you check them?
