Comment: Scientifically absurd?

Scientifically absurd?

I just found this looking for something entirely different - ie what did Jesus look like and how did jewish people REALLY wear their hair in Biblical times; in the Jewish encyclopedic. But it demonstrates that using scientific absurdity to explain away things has been going on for a long time. I bolded some of the nonsense parts.

Jewish encyclopedia, 1905
Cause of Blond Hair.

Defective Diet? Environmental factors? Cranial factors? These have ANYTHING to do with blond hair? And all this absurdity to explain away any possibility of intermarriage with ArYaNs.

And this is 1905 in the the Jewish Enclopedia, well before WWII. Isn't intermarriage the easier explanation? Does being racial pure and not having any blond European blood, matter so much? Should it?
