Turns out, most ancient Europeans actually had dark skin! A new DNA study shows that lighter skin only became common about 3,000 years ago, and it wasn’t a straight path—there were all kinds of shades for thousands of years. The shift happened as people adapted to less sunlight in northern Europe, helping them make more vitamin D. Even hair and eye color got lighter over time, but that was probably just for looks, not survival. Wild how much our ancestors changed! #Beauty #Genetics #History
