A team of researchers from Copenhagen Universityhave located a single mutation that causes the mysterious phenomenon of blue eyes. And all blue eyed people are genetically related to a person who lived in the Black Sea region sometime between 6 – 10,000 years ago.
The research was published in the Journal of Human Genetics. A mutation in a gene called OCA2 came into being nearly 8,000 years ago. It can be definitively traced back to an ancestor from the Black Sea.
Dr. Hans Eiberg claims that before this time, every human being had brown eyes. “A genetic mutation affecting the OCA2 gene in our chromosomes resulted in the creation of a ‘switch,’ which literally ‘turned off’ the ability to produce brown eyes,” Eiberg said.
When blue-eyed peoples from Jordan, Denmark and Turkey were examined, their genetic difference was traced back to the maternal lineage according to Eiberg’s team.
The brown melanin pigment is still dominant. However, following the last Ice Age, Europeans developed this rare mutation that differentiated them from the rest of the human race.
Ninety-five percent of Europeans in Scandinavian countries have blue eyes. They are also found to have a greater range of hair and skin color.
Comparatively, Europe has a wider variety of hair color and skin pigment than is found in any other continent in the world. These mutations are recent as Europe was colonized only a few thousand years ago, say mainstream scientists.
Through interbreeding, the brunette with blue eyes was evidenced about 25,000 years ago. Researchers attribute this to ancient interbreeding with Neanderthals.
Although no Neanderthal DNA has been found in modern Homo Sapien-Sapien, mainstream science clings to this theory as fact because they haven’t come up with anything better.
“The question really is, ‘Why did we go from having nobody on Earth with blue eyes 10,000 years ago to having 20 or 40 percent of Europeans having blue eyes now?” John Hawks of the University of Wisconsin-Madison said. “This gene does something good for people. It makes them have more kids.”

Not always: My family mother is all blue eyed but, when thy´ve mixtured themselves with brown eyed, the mixture was kids with brown eyes. But at the opposite, my cousin and his husband were brown eyed but the granpas were. one blueeyed, and the grangrand mother and the second line before bluyeyed too but not the last one and my cousins today are both blue eyed. Amazing!
With many people, there is a very thin outer circle of blue behind the brown, even some central American cultures have had this. It really is very fascinating to study, not to mention being a fun discovery.
So then they were from Noah and his surviving family members just like every other genetic characteristic in humans today.
Not sure what this has to do with corporatism. The article, if not the science, seems to me to verge on Nazi Germany's "genetics" in tone.
How is this in any way a Nazi-istic article? They are not talking about manipulating genetics or "making someone's brown eyes blue", it's just a research statement about how blue eyes naturally came to be and I for one find it very interesting. While I agree with you that this doesn't really have anything to do with corporatism, I can't agree that this has anything to do with the Nazi's either. I know Hitler was absolutely fascinated with blue eyes but that doesn't mean that they rest of the world can't research human genetics almost 7 decades after his death. If this was about green eyes I bet you would nothing to say, would you?
green or hazel… just amid of blue n brown?
Not correct and completely behind the times. With dna mapping they now know there are two types of blue eyes. The other is older and does not have a single ancestor so it is highly dominant even when pitted against homozygous brown eyes. It's actually a green eye in which the gold pigment in the lens is so slight that that the eye is indistinguishable from blue in many cases.
Implication is the studies author doesn't consider HSN to be 'human' like HSS. It makes the article complete hogwash though.
maybe it's 2,500 years ago
honestly im glad to have found this information, who cares where it came from she gave credit and then you end up finding the info sooo shes getting it out there regardless and ppl are finding it through the video clearly so horrifying?? i think not. That's a strong use of that word for such a petty thing. horrifying is walking in finding ur family member shot to death in your own home. not miss using copyright info……THINK PPL THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK
exactly amber. …everyone gets information from another source at some point in life no matter what it is, and passes it on to another human being. like not eating an un cooked egg, but should i not pass that information on to someone else cause i found it out from some one else …..errr i dont fink so, what aload of rubbish…..that will mean that no one on earth can share any of their knowledge with anyone else. if i read something in a book i have to keep it to my self and not share it ????? your an idiot.

Feels more to me like they both read the same press release.
