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 ...

Like most human traits, blue eyes are determined by genes, and no two people have exactly the same hue. It works a lot like ...

The recent study has unveiled a remarkable genetic link shared by people with blue eyes. Astonishingly, over 99.5 per cent of blue-eyed participants in the study have the same tiny mutation ...

Thus, it's possible that blue-eyed people ended up having more of a competitive edge in this geographical area as blue eyes were rarer. As they explain in the paper, “The rare-colour advantage ...

Blue eyes have captivated people for ages, symbolising beauty and enigma, with famous personalities like Frank Sinatra and Megan Fox enhancing their charm. But the origins of this rare eye colour ...

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 ...

The trait spread across populations from this ancestor, creating the diverse group of blue-eyed people we see today. The team traced the mutation to the northwest region of the Black Sea ...

For people with blue eyes (considered a recessive trait), there’s very little P protein. “Two nonfunctional copies of OCA2 yield blue eyes,” says Dr. Kaplan. “If a person has two ...
