Blue-eyed humans have a single, common ancestor

And a busy boy was he.

My x wife’s eyes are brown. Male bovine manure color.

You are correct....ADAM.

It's not the eyes, dude!

Right, but his sister or sisters would have been too, since both parents have to have the blue eyed gene to get blue eyed children.

This seems to explain the connection between eye color & sunburn. I've heard that people with blue eyes burn more easily than those with brown eyes, even if those with brown eyes have lighter skin.

Now, blue hair, that's something!

Maybe it’s when God breathed life into man. Just musing in the most politically incorrect way I can think of.

The mutation of brown eyes to blue represents neither a positive nor a negative mutation.

Blue eyes are acknowledged to be more sensitive to light, and that's an advantage in areas with less light more of the year, such as northern Europe—where there happen to live most of the blue-eyed people on earth. So, how can it be neither positive nor negative? Perhaps a European advantage for surviving in Europe is just too politically incorrect a thought to harbor in one's mind.

The whole thing sounds like B.S. anyway.

The most beautiful woman in the world has blue eyes (or maybe not.)

That is all well and good, but what about green and hazel eyes.

[DeLaine]

Adam may have had brown eyes, but I believe Eve had green eyes.

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...

[cubreporter]

My mother had dark brown eyes
My father bright blue eyes
My brother and two sisters have dark brown eyes
I have hazel/blue eyes
My husband has bright blue eyes
Our children have bright blue eyes

Our dog has BROWN eyes... :)

What does this all mean???

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

[Ditter]

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

[potlatch]

So - my blue eyed son is linked to a different ancestor than me - his green eyed mom?? Lol
