No, academics are not in agreement on this. It's a good bet that blonde
people evolved right where they are most common today - northern Europe.
Caucasians are not synonymous with blonde, since caucasians have a broad
range of skin color and hair types. There is no population of caucasians
that is all one color, all one hair color, or all one eye color.

Caucasians were about as broadly distributed in ancient times as they are
today. The ancient Sumerians were caucasians, and they had been paddling
around in their marshes since the mesolithic. However, they were not
blondes.
