Thanks, very interesting.
I have read many sections of your site over the past couple days. In your analysis of tanning, you forgot one important factor.
When Aryan people tan, their skin turns Golden. When Mongrel peoples tan their skin turns dirt brown. The term Aryan itself comes from this unique quality. As people are mixed, the Gold is gradually diluted and lost.
Your pictoral analyses are very good. I would be interested to see a section about this distinction, and hear your thoughts on this topic.
