Melanesians are South Pacific black island people who have a large population with naturally Blonde hair.
\nIn past theories, it was thought they were born with such light hair as a result from sun and salt lightening, a high fish intake diet or generic heritage from mixed breeding with Europeans\/Americans who founded the islands.
\nThrough recent scientific studies, it has been proven the blonde Melanesians people have a native TYRP1 gene which is responsible for their light hair and actually doesn’t exist in Caucasian Europeans and is completely limited to Oceanians.
\nA single mutation in the TYRP1 gene, which is involved in hair and skin pigmentation distinguished those with blonde hair, this mutation is recessive and therefore two copies are needed for a person to have blonde hair.<\/p>\n[ngg_images source=”galleries” container_ids=”1257″ display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_pro_masonry” size=”276″ padding=”0″ display_type_view=”default” ngg_triggers_display=”always” captions_enabled=”1″ captions_display_sharing=”1″ captions_display_title=”1″ captions_display_description=”1″ captions_animation=”slideup” order_by=”sortorder” order_direction=”ASC” returns=”included” maximum_entity_count=”500″]\n
