That's where we did come from before we entered Europe though (600-500BC). The Arabs only took over during the Islamic period (600-700AD). So we cant look at populations now and assume they were always like that. Over 400 years ago whites weren't in America.
Europeans didn't grow on the rocks of the Caucusus mountains we simply passed through them into Europe. The ones that passed through the caucusus the Greeks called Keltoi but there was another group that entered Europe through present day Turkey the Greeks called Cimmeroi.
Even if you don't believe the Biblical belief that we all come from the early mesopatamian culture of Iraq, the secularists accept we came from the early neolithic farmers from the mideast.
Whether we come from the mideast is not the debate, it's when did we come from there into Europe. Secularists say 8000 years ago but historical written records and archaeology (and lack of archaeology in Europe, excluding the mediterranean coastline) say it was 600-500BC.
I don't understand what you are getting at, young_patriot said whites cant be from the mid east so addressed that, now youre arguing when fair skin and eyes developed.
I can't speak to when whiite skin and blue eyes began but I know the Nords also come from the same people that entered into Europe from the Caucusus mountains around 600 BC.
I used the word 'we' as a general term as we Europeans. I'm white skin and blue eyes and I'm not Nordic and my ancestors most likely came to the British Isles from the Mediterranean culture, different from the Keltoi people.
I was only trying to point out that light skin and blue eyes have developed among separate populations at separate times. Therefore "we" ("people with white skin and blue eyes") did not all "come from" there.
I understand your point now, are you Nordic or a descendant of Nordic people? We must of had a distant ancestor, but it could of progressed separately.
Where have you found that the Nords have come from? How did they get to Europe? Which migration event in to Europe? They didn't grow there, so how did they get there? When? Where from?

Your "we" seems to be a slim margin of the population. Nordic Europeans developed light skin and blue eyes many thousands of years ago.
