Well, light eyes were actually the rule for indigenous Europeans. The WHGs had a 100% frequency of allele that causes light eyes, modern northern Europeans are only 65%, which means Europeans as a whole are even lower. This is because of recent foreign DNA intrusions from the Indoeuropeans and the Anatolian farmers, who were 90%+ dark eyed.
Very pale skin was not present in indigenous Euros. A few groups in Scandinavia had blonde hair and fairly light (but still darker than moderns) skin, which might've looked something like a swarthier version of Dolph Lundgren.
pale skin is an adaptation to lactovegetarian diet, darker climate, and indoor sedentary life. If you hit all three of these you get pale skin, and of course these conditions were only ever met in Europe, but they were met to a lesser extent in northern China--you'll notice if you look at Siberian tribes that people from Liaoning/Hebei and other parts of North China are actually PALER than ethnic Siberians despite living way southwards--this is because the Siberian diet is rich in animal meats and fish, which have natural vitamin D.
You can also look at modern Africa, that very dark skin is more common in the pastoralist populations like Chad, South Sudan, and that's DESPITE these groups often having Asian DNA admixture (which should theoretically make them PALER if anything). This is because these pastoralist groups have outdoor lifestyles, where the folate depletion caused by sunlight is a huge health detriment. Thus, black as fuck skin. https://i.imgur.com/ZRi1jHY.png
Lighter skin is very much a "sedentary" adaptation, contrary to whatever "muh steppe fantasies" cope that wignats want to engage in.
There are also a bunch of alleles involved in fatty acid metabolism and stuff, and basically all of these genes have gone from 100% in the paleolithic down to something like 20% or less for most large monolithic populations--but they're remained at near 100% for indigenous hunter tribes in Siberia, Native America, etc. Paleo "muh meat" diet is complete fucking cope but I don't mind if chuds die of iron poisoning.
None of this has anything to do with Darwin, who was basically a philosopher. This is all raw scientific data which Darwin probably couldn't even dream of
