New research shows that all blue-eyed people share a common ancestor. This person lived more than 6,000 years ago and carried a genetic mutation that has now spread across the world.
The exact cause remains to be determined but scientists do know that eye color began to change long before recorded history began. The following is a transcript of the video.
All blue-eyed people have one ancestor in common, born around 6,000-10,000 years ago. Blue eyes are caused by a gene mutation. For years, researchers had searched for it on the OCA2 gene. The OCA2 gene determines how much brown pigment is in our eyes. But what they were looking for wasn't there at all.

It is no accident that this article is published mainstream rather than relegated to some dusty molecular genetics journal with a worldwide readership of a few thousand, because it bolsters some twisted notion in our race charged ‘news’ environment that ‘aryan’ e.g. white features can be blamed on a single fictitious Adam and Eve breeding pair.

Me to.
Just wondering was it the blue eyed dude with a brown eyed chick that gave me green eyes or just my blue eyed mom and green eyed dad?

Seems to me that every genetic mutation there is had to start with one single organism somewhere along the line.

And why is such a peculiar race/genetics article relevant to business, since it's published by Business Insider?
