Introduction
The genetic mutations responsible for red and blond hair are tied to the migration of human populations into northern environments with lower ultraviolet light. Tracking these markers allows us to follow the movement of ancient groups across the Eurasian steppe and their adaptation to new climates. These traits serve as biological fingerprints for the complex mixing of lineages over millennia.
