Thor was a pale Red head. Paleness is associated with ethereal spirituality originating from brightness of the sun, stars and the association of light with safety, security and thus 'good' while the darkness with unknown, fear, danger and thus 'bad'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734925856292601239.post-30201129567555073592017-07-16T03:29:22.490-04:002017-07-16T03:29:22.490-04:00"Anonymous Anonymous said...

Historically those who were pale were upper class and the slaves and workers were tanned.

So you may not be demonstrating the effects of pigmentation on real faces so much as the effects of removing shading information from 2d images. To remove this confounding factor you may have to do 3d renderings of differently pigmented faces preferably give a stereoscopic presentation. rather that manipulating the contrast on averaged photos.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02291622298961270279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734925856292601239.post-32762385094692373362014-12-20T04:16:29.134-05:002014-12-20T04:16:29.134-05:00@LindsayWheeler - "It is quite enlightening&q...@LindsayWheeler - <i>"It is quite enlightening"</i><br /><br />I see what you did there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734925856292601239.post-87038329847918015802014-12-16T14:09:08.855-05:002014-12-16T14:09:08.855-05:00I want to thank Peter Frost for his posts and his ...I want to thank Peter Frost for his posts and his research.

But the upper class goes to the beach and tans and having an untanned body is taken to mean, again, that you are the sort of person to spend all day indoors.<br /><br />I have seen Scandinavians in Rio whose skin turns more brown than some of the locals'. No one can confuse them for nonwhites though. It is interesting the extent to which skin color is not reliable for predicting race though; these Scandis were a very deep golden brown.

It was a sign that you spent time outdoors hunting, in athletics, or in military enterprise. Greeks saw a man with untanned skin as one who spent all his time indoors with women, i.e., effeminate, or a slave who had to spend all day in labor (often indoors). This is explicit in many passages, including in Plato's Republic. Ancient Egyptians had a similar convention in how they represented the Pharaoh, nobles, etc., vs. the women. Similarly in recent times having tan skin for a man meant you are someone who spends his time as a sportsman, yachting, etc., that you were upper class.<br /><br />There is an opposite claim made by the middle and lower middle classes who don't know about this very long historical trend. Insecure about their social position, and wary lest they should be confused with the lower classes that labored in agriculture, the merchant middle and lower middle class in the Near East, southeast Asia, and parts of Europe as well, assiduously avoided (and avoid) tanning. But from an aristocratic point of view the males of these classes are unmanly.<br /><br />America's racial politics has made tanning begin to go out of favor among whites for reasons hinted at in this post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
