I don't understand where this thing started. They are adapted for temperate environments of forests/plains with cold winters and very low sunlight compared to most of the world. Most europeans are long limbed with short torsos like arabs are, some european populations (dinarics, some mediterraneans) even reach sub saharan levels of leg length. Brow ridges aren't a climate adaptation because any population can have them
This is the skull of an actual cold adapted population (inuit)
Another one of an east asian
Euro skull in comparison
Compare australian aboriginal
And now a native american from central mexico (not a cold place in any way)
It's clear that europeans have no specific cold adapted features in their faces at all and their features actually are more similar to aboriginals. Western, northern and southern europeans are also dolichocephalic/mesocephalic which is a feature for warm-hot climates. The balkans are an exception because dinaric people still have tall, long skulls, the back of their heads are just flat.
Brachycephaly is a trait better suited for the cold because it stores heat better, which also makes it easier to overheat with. Dolichocephalic people are vice versa.
Lighter = more dolichocephalic, darker = more brachycephalic
Also, brachycephaly isn't a fighting trait at all - it's the opposite if anything. Dolichocephalic skulls take hits better because a more oval, long shape disperses force better than a round, circular one, which is one of the reasons why you see people of african origin do pretty well with hits in fighting sports. Stop repeating retardation that brachycephaly is a somehow dominant adaptation designed for fighting.
