Why are the majority of people right-handed?

If native English people are considered Nordic then why do the vast majority of them look non-Nordic?

• I have been to England and many native white English people do not have the typical Germanic blond hair and blue eyed look. Many of them look more like pale Mediterraneans with brown hair, brown eyes (sometimes hazel, green, or rusty gray), and medium skin tone. These people are not immigrants from the Middle East or the Mediterranean countries. These are NATIVE English Brits. I even heard one geneticist say that most native UK people do not have a large quantity of Celtic or Nordic genes but have a large quantity of neolithic Iberian genes. The Celts and Nordics in the UK are actually a minority. The native UK people speak a Germanic language but most of their ancestors were neolithic nomads from the Spanish region.

• Answer:

  Yes, that appears to be pretty much correct, with the most native genes and darker phenotypes in western regions and lighter ones and later genes more prevalent in the east (although there was some migration to the east from Scandinavia,Holland and central Europe centuries before invasions of Anglo-Saxons or vikings--back to the bronze and neolithic ages.) In a recent ritual centre in Kent, isotope testing showed about half the bodies buried there were of native-born Brits, and the rest split between Iberians and Scandinavians.Some of the earliest metalwork in Britain has come from Spain. It is the same however, in the 'celtic' countries--they too have roots back to the neolithic and mesolithic, with most of the gene flow coming from Iberia. The Irish temple/tomb of Newgrange is very Iberian in character. Technically they have a celtic culture but very few are genetically celts (who were a central European people to whom modern Irish/Welsh etc dna doesn't match that closely.) What surprises many people, though, is how much of the 'old stock' was left in England, which was supposedly SO Anglo-Saxon, with those nasty Germanics killing off everyone (in fact there are many references to native Britons living in England in Anglo-Saxon documents; second class citizens in their own land maybe, but very much alive!) Indeed about 100 years ago there was a survey done of phenotypes/head shapes across Britain, and it was concluded, even then, 'nowhere in England was the aboriginal type entirely wiped out.' I live in a western p[art of England and work with a large amount of dark haired English people with brown or hazel eyes, my partner being one. Where I work, which has a large rotating staff, there has been only one true very light blonde and 2 sandy blondes. We have had more redheads than blondes,and the rest varying shades of light/medium brown hair. I'm very dark haired and hazel eyed too but I take after my Irish grandmother (who looked very Mediterranean.)
