So, about XXXXX years or so is a good time? Those educated in US schools will probably recite the “In XX hundred and XX Columbus sailed on seas of blue” as the “start” of European exploration of the New World, but carbon XX dates Vikings into the southern Canada/northern US to as early as the 700s, NatGeo’s DNA mapping shows the gene for red hair in the Gobi Desert region of China perhaps as long ago as XXXXXX years ago but not in Europe until as long as XXXXXX years later, the Clovis people of North America crossed the Bering land bridge in waves and made their way down to the southernmost part of South America in at least X distinct migrations with the last in response to the last Ice Age. European and Sub-Saharan genes don’t appear to be part of the DNA of Australia’s Aborigines for XXXXXX years prior to Australia becoming a penal colony but oddly their DNA is seen in a few Sub-Saharan tribes, especially those with genetic relationships to the Dogon as recently as just XXXXX years ago, and the Dogon share genetic markers seen in Siberia and Mongolia that may go back about XXXXX years but it’s hard to tell because the DNA analyzed comes from either natural mummies or bodies in the permafrost. The Rh gene is being called the most recent species wide genetic mutation and appears almost simultaneously in Sub-Sahara, the Far East and parts of Siberia but didn’t make it out of the population in the broader German area into the rest of Europe at that time, which has been speculated to be the result of interbreeding with modern humans and Neanderthal in the region either preventing the Rh mutation from spreading as quickly or somehow being suppressed.
There was apparently a tribe in the Congo area that had blue eyes so bright that other tribes were terrified of them and the only known European to have written about them is in a Dutch explorer’s journal from the mid-1800s but the spelling of one word has called its authenticity into question; outside of the oral histories of the various tribes in the Congo region there’s nothing to suggest a black tribe with very bright blue eyes. The black pharaohs have always been assumed to be Ethiopian but may have actually been from the Indian subcontinent and simply migrated to Egypt from Ethiopia making a “black Cleopatra” more likely to have been a brown Cleopatra, which makes sense since her ancestors were the Macedonians with Alexander the Great who made it as far as India.
All of which is to say, which group of “Europeans” are you referring to because they apparently were wandering all over the globe for at least the last XXXXXX years or so and outside of the Irish, who have a sex-linked gene unique to all men of Irish descent, there’s nothing unique enough to identify them by region, skin, hair or eye color. Even red hair, thought to be entirely a European trait, started in the Far East and moved west instead of the other way around. Either that, or it went from west to east and back again before taking root in European populations. I’m willing to support returning people to where they originally came from, but unless I’m going to be allowed to return to Ireland, I’m not sure where I’d go.
