Popular Post Albert1434 Posted June 9, 2021 Popular Post Posted June 9, 2021 Everyone with blue eyes is related Between 6,000 and 10,000 years ago, a baby was born in Europe with a harmless genetic mutation. That little DNA blip was blue eye color, according to researchers at the University of Copenhagen. As far as researchers can tell, this was the first person with blue eyes, and everyone who has blue eyes today is a (very) distant relative of this ancient human. 1 3 3
Albert1434 Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 Blue eyes aren't actually blue Blue eye color is determined by melanin, and melanin is actually brown by nature. The color of our eyes depends on how much melanin is present in the iris. Brown eyes have the highest amount of melanin in the iris, and blue eyes have the least. Brown melanin is the only pigment that exists in the eye; there is no pigment for hazel or green — or blue. Eyes only appear to be these colors because of the way light strikes the layers of the iris and reflects back toward the viewer. 5

This means that all the light that enters it is scattered back into the atmosphere and as a result of the Tyndall effect, creates a blue hue. Ah sure now, just like with blue flowers, the colours we perceive are really all just pigments of our own imaginations. 1 6
