New ethnicity

would it be possible to have a ethnicity that has relativly dark Skin (light Brown - dark Brown). normally you expect such an ethnicity to have black hair and black eyes. however this ethnicity has various hair colours, Brown, blonde and black also, but Brown is most common, lets say 50%, black is around 30% and blonde about 20%. So light hair colours are dominant in These People. These People also have less bodyhair and facial hair than most other ethnicies (especially caucasians or middle easterns), men can sometimes grow a proper beards however, but generally they have Little Body hair aside. Most common eye colour would be Brown, Hazel and amber are also common, blue is existant too, but rare.
 
You've described something that is close to Melanesian already so try an offshoot of them Supposedly thei blue eyes and possibly light hair is from an independent 2nd mutational origin of the same type that brought blue eyes/lighter hair to northern Europeans)

To increase the rate of occurrence, just use chance to have increase the proportion of the features you want form the original population group.

You could perhaps have some lost early Lapita culture seafarers/settlers get blown off course while expanding eastwards and land in New Zealand several centuries before the Maori. Their isolation will let you maintain the features you want.

We were discussing this in another thread, and I thought the blond Melanesians had blond hair, but not blue eyes, which is a separate mutation?

But yeah, people who look like this already exist, you'd just need some reason, perhaps founder effect on a new island, to make them the majority of the population.

Also strictly speaking this wouldn't make them a new ethnicity, it would make them a new phenotype that's dominant in a certain ethnicity.
