I have green eyes and also heard that green eyes are a mutation. This article would support that since it states everyone originally had brown eyes. Still, very interesting topic.

In Indonesia, especially in Nangroe Aceh Darusalaam, many local person who have the blue eyes too. Is it possible, that they are are descended from the same blue-eyed individual in europe? :D

I am Filipino but my mother’s mother (my grandmother) was half-Chinese and she looked a very fair Chinese. However curiously, her eyes were dark blue in colour, hardly noticeable due to the smallness of her, very Chinese eyes. Can anyone help me understand why she would have these eye colour? Much appreciated., Thanks, Anne

Blue eyes are blue like the sky is blue, Rayleigh scattering. No big deal. All eyes have the same pigment, melanin, which is dark brown. Difference in iris color is the concentration of melanin. Blue eyes have defective, mutated controllers for melanin production in the iris. Eyes are mostly brown for a good reason. Look up melanin and see how important it is.

At least if you have blue eyes, then things are looking up.Blaineover at Genetic Genealogist covers that family tree. Now I bet Tom Cruise doesn’t feel as special anymore. Other things make us special. The stuff with which we arrogantly called junk, including introns is proving to make us pretty special.
