“One data point, does not an extrapolation make, grasshopper, or padawan, or whatever.”
All kidding aside,
there is a lot of hiding of the truth in too much research, I know this first hand. Also, there is far more scientific truth in the Bible than is commonly recognized.
Do you find it in the least curious that the blue-eyed divergence happened at the same time as the explosion of languages from a common root to form the Indo-European langage tree?

The switch, which is located in the gene adjacent to OCA2 does not, however, turn off the gene entirely, but rather limits its action to reducing the production of melanin in the iris effectively diluting brown eyes to blue Don't it make my brown eyes blue...

They had a four in one chance of any child having blue eyes. That's some pretty good odds.

If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat

I tell her that our future children are going to have brown eyes. That's not quite right, is it? 50-50 chance.

Mutant Ping back at ya. Mom and Pop have blue eyes - myself and all sibs have blue, all sibs married blue-eyed so all grandchildren are blue also. My son married a brown eyed gal but no kids - so the chain is probably going to be broken.

My eyes are dark green with reddish brown centers, how did that happen? I am a cur?

There were eight people on the ark, Noah, his wife, the three sons and their wives. Really?
And what race were they?
