Only around 5% of the world’s population have hazel eyes. Yet a 2009 study found that 55.2% of their Spanish cohort had hazel-green eyes. This eye color is also more common in Portugal than the global average. But why is there such a concentration of hazel eyes in the Iberian peninsula compared to most other parts of the world? And is the evolution of hazel eyes connected to the genetic history of Iberia? Now there are a two main types of hazel eyes.

Change. So, yes.

That is true; however, there are actual TYPES for most ethnicities, is my point, except really for AMERICANS. We're the most hodgepodge of them them; though now, with the influx of "invaders" all over Europe, that's happening to them too.

We can go waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back and talk about how a small group of Ancient Romans took over what was an Etruscan culture, ditto the Sabines, but they weren't really all THAT different.

OTOH, the Roman Army went very far afield, taking over and mixing with the inhabitants, but again, not quite THAT different.

America has many different races and ethnicities,from very far flung places and has had this, even before the Mayflower landed.

We aren't really debating these points, as we are attempting to nail it all down and wondering about eye color.

I like the new version, “Make room for my Baby Daddy Mofo”.

By 100% Hungarian I meant my Dad’s mother and father were both born in Hungary. That’s all.

My daughter has hazel eyes, but not my son.

Thanks.

But our genetics contain far more than what our immediate parents contributed to us.

Homo Sapiens is hundreds of thousands of years old, and genes don’t just ‘go away’.

And there is no telling what sort of travel and intermixing took place over those thousands of years. We’re all ‘mixed up and turned around’.

(By the way: what about your mother?)

Her family is from Kentucky for generations. She has brown eyes.
