Actually, that theory (by Oppenheimer, and also Sykes) that the first peopling of the Brit Isles after the ice age took place from Iberia has now been superceded. Those R1b genes came from the Near East (Turkey) through the Balkans and through the center of Europe to the south coast of England, according to the more current theory, they didn't take a west coastal route.
The jury is still out on much of the genetic story. As the science of genetic studies and migration theories evolves and becomes more fine-tuned, old theories are replaced with new ones. It can be challenging to keep up with new developments.
It is a fast changing topic and new information is coming out all the time as the knowledge is updated.
Yes of course. I was born in Ireland and have relatives that live in the UK. The majority of people are blue eyed especially in Ireland, Scotland and the North of England. It shouldn't really matter anyway but it is good to be factual otherwise people won't take anything you say seriously.
Even in places like Wales and Cornwall I'm sure there are more blue eyed than brown.
Ireland is mostly blue eyed, but southern england and wales have as many brown and mixed eyes as they have blue eyes people. The percentage of blue eyes vs non blue eyes (not necessarily brown but also hazel and mixed eye colors) are about even.
It wouldn't be a common thing and it is only something you will find on anthro boards on the net. The vast majority of people wouldn't give this sort of discussion a second thought or care about the subject.
The vast majority of people wouldnt also confuse on regular basis british with other europeans. Of course there will be always internet to discuss those kind of topics.
Half of british have either Brown or Mixed eyes. Have you ever been to the UK?
Wrong again you're probably confusing British people with immigrants. The majority of British people have light eyes, particularly blue, brown eyes are present but do not dominate. This is why even many British people who have dark-hair have blue eyes like the ones you loved to mention Ringo Starr and Noel Gallagher. Since you know nothing about America, in the late 19th century, when the vast majority of White Americans was of the British Isles ancestry, a study was done on soldiers during the Civil War, those of English ancestry were reported as 71 per cent blue-eyed, those of Irish even higher. It is a fact that the Irish are one of Europe's bluest-eyed and reddest-haired people. It seems to me more and more that you've never been to the British Isles, but harbor hatred for them because they are much more successfull than you. America, Australia, Canada, New Zealand which are well among some of the world's most influential, wealthy were British colonies. Too bad for you.
The British Isles people are not 'blue-eyed', that a bunch of garbage. A forensical study done using DNA and not your fairy tales as well shows the following;

Those results are from Ireland, the British Isles are not as blue eyed as Ireland, half of welsh and southern english have brown/mixed eyes.
Was the 71% of blue eyes done by coon? lol maybe mculloch, coon and benjamin frankling took all those studies from somewhere haha.

Wales might be less blonde than Germany, but it is never darker-eyed. The frequency of red hair in Wales is not that different from that of Ireland, as well as fair skin tones much higher than most European nations. Watch your spelling as well, it's going off there. To correct you once more the northern Scottish Isles have a slightly higher frequency of blue eyes than Ireland. Northern Britain and Ireland are usually lighter-eyed than the south, the same could be said for many European nations. Over-all the British are a light and blue-eyed people.
Wayne Rooney would be the average British Isles person who has brown hair with reddish undertones, blue eyes and a pale skin complexion.
7 out of every ten has blue eyes.
13 out of every hundred has red hair.
40 out of every hundred is a carrier of red-hair genes.
66 out of every hundred has skin type I and II.
These are things you had no clue of, you will learn something. It's not good to remain ignorant once you are informed.

I knew about the rest, but the 7 out 10 blue eyes is way too much, I dont buy it.
The part of Northern Europe, where this golden hair color is commonest is in the British Isles. Why do you think Vikings took Celtic wives to go settle Iceland, Faroes Isles and elsewhere.
