White people rapidly spread throughout Europe during the migration period in the Early Middle Ages and interbred with the descendants of the ancient Romans which resulted to the Europeans of today having lighter skin than other Caucasian people in the Near East, with southern Europeans being closer in outward appearance to the ancient Greeks and Romans than northern and central Europeans, and the Nordics being whiter and therefore racially purer than all of them.

Early Middle Age?
Darling, you are stretching this a bit too far.... Achilles disagrees with you with his fair skin and red hair right from the bronze age as Alexander the Great and Augustus are waving at you with their golden locks and all the blonde, blue eyed and fair skinned Gauls Caesar described before slaughtering them are laughing their asses off and so on and on and on
Fair skinned people with light hair and eyes were not a rarity among European tribes even in late neolit and bronze age.
