Australia, Aboriginal

The blond of aboriginal remains – i think- a scientific mystery... It is the mutation of a gene that leads to the blond color. The gene will have passed in Melanesians people due to the insular isolation. But it is mostly aboriginal children who have blond hair. I do not know if there are blond adults. The first mutated gene would have 11,000 years ago during the last ice age.
