The real star of the Quiet Man according to Maureen O’Hara
Maureen O’Hara and John Wayne were both towering figures in the most famous movie they did together, The Quiet Man.
But for all their undoubted brilliance and their explosive on-screen chemistry, neither O’Hara or Wayne were the real star of the film. Not according to O’Hara anyway. That honour went to a star much bigger than either of them...

    I thought that the mutations that work in your favour become standard over the generations, that's how evolution works. The fair skin enabled more use of the sunshine needed by the human body to create vitamins D (I think), so we're the product of 10,000 years or more of grey skys and short winter days

    I am 100% Irish, on both sides, from as far back as any of my family knows. I have the blackest hair, the whitest skin and the bluest eyes, as does everyone in my family. A relative once told me the Irish black hair emanates from the Spanish Armada ships being wrecked off the Irish coast and the stranded sailors marrying Irish girls. Is that true, or an urban myth?

    Man but everybody knows this....? Everyone knows by now that pale skin is the result of a change in diet due to the exclusive reliance on cereals in the fertile crescent and that the populations out there had immense pressure to adapt to synthesize vitamin D under daylight since they didn't the complete product anymore in meat. The first Europeans had very dark skin, and, curiously, light eyes, almost all of them, because they relied on meat a lot. Middle-Easterners had dark eyes, and dark hair but light skin, almost all of them, when they expanded to Europe. The third founding population, the indo-Europeans, are not well-known on this topic, probably because of the popular racist myths of blue-eyed blond supermen that seem so hard to unroot.

  • @pavelandel1538
    @pavelandel1538 Před 27 dny

    the pale skin in Caucasians is result of 2 factors. First the change in diet, when after the end of the last ice age (approx. 10k BC), agriculture came about and slowly spread. This lead to a drastic decrease in consumption of food rich in vit D (meat, organs, eggs) in favour of grains. As Humans can either metabolise vit D from food or from sunlight, lighter skin in vit D-deficient farmers became an evolutionary advantage in northerly latitudes and quickly spread through the population. People, such as the Inuits (Eskimos) who are the most northerly living humans, remained hunter/gatherers and their skin tone didn't need to change, hence they are still relatively dark. The first modern Europeans (Cheddar man) were indeed much darker as well, but their descendants are very few (usually >5%) among modern Europeans, who are mostly hybrids of middle-eastern Neolithic farmers and Yamnaya/Indo-European pastoralists.

  • @joseveintegenario-nisu1928

    Having a dark skin, that protects against sunlight induced skin cancer, africans could have a 'melanism', as black sheep, takes a lot of Amino Acids from food, and in climates with not very much sunlight, makes difficult synthesizing Vit D in skin, this requires UV light. 'Lynnird skinnird' people are this way because of a mutation blocking melanin synthesis, this, and also having few or no hair in skin, saves energy for other body activities, an important adaptive advantage. Fabulous, furry, freak people engage more easily in violence, as a reduction in blood amino acid levels makes people angry. That's all, folks!

    Hello, as a Turkish and Ottoman historian, I write the truth of the story based on concise Ottoman records. The period when the Irish people were deliberately left to genocide by England. The Ottomans were not interested in this at first. They did not want to confront the British and Ireland was not a Muslim country. At that time, the Ottomans were busy suppressing the rebellions in the conquered regions. There was also a power struggle within the palace. Celtic soldiers and officers serving in the Ottoman Empire did not remain silent any longer about the genocide committed in Ireland and reported this situation harshly to the sultan. The Sultan had to accept the offer of help. In addition, Celtic people living in Anatolia also supported the aid campaign. It is estimated that the Celtic population living in Anatolia today is 9 million. When the Ottoman Empire ended, the Celts living in Anatolia were not shown as a minority at the Lausanne meeting of the newly established Turkish state because they lived in a Muslim state. When you go to Anatolia, you can see people with red hair and green and blue eyes. Celts living in Turkey are educated, polite and mostly atheist. In my opinion, those who helped you are the Celts living in Anatolia. What I said is available in official documents. Thank you.
