I thought we were all descendants of Adam & Eve? Blue eyes are a freak genetic mutation. I'm a freak!

[manu1959]

we are all related and one point there were the original 2 humans which we all evolved from......unless of course the were multiple spontaneous creations of man.....all of similar gentic code....

i don't wanna be a freak or inbred....:'(

It's that OCA gene. Who knew?

Oh!

[Mr. P]

Does this mean I'm an immigrant?

Well, excuse the hell out of me- I have blue eyes, and I understand that all babies born have blue eyes for a while. My dad had beautiful blue eyes all his life. And we were far from INBRED!!

[Abbey Marie]

My husband and daughter both have blue eyes. Crikey.

[Mr. P]

Screw you guys

Somehow I think that's what happened to start with.

brown eyes is dominant, period....even now.... if a fully brown eyed woman and a blue eyed man had a child, the child would have brown eyes....with the blue gene held silent.

i say "fully" brown eyed, meaning someone with brown eyes that has no history of relatives with blue eyes....

but any of us brown eyed people could have a silent blue eyed gene, and when mating with a blue eyed fella or gal, we still have the possibility of having a blue eyed child, a lesser chance because brown is dominent and it only happens if the blue gene from the mom that is hidden mates up with the blue gene of the dad's, which is what happened in Abbey's case....

She has blue eyed relatives somewhere in her own heritage, even if no one evidently has them in her immediate family.

geez, sorry i went in to all that and it sounds confusing...

but basically it means that a brown eyed gene mated with a blue eyed gene makes the child have brown eyes. But if a blue eyed gene mates up with another blue eyed gene, then the child would have blue eyes.... this is more rare.

wrong JD. sorry. I blow your fact right out of the water. Mom has dark brown eyes, dad has blue. mine are blue.

Yeah the brown eyed parent could have a recessive blue eye trait. So really even if both parents have brown eyes, if they both carry the non-dominent trait the kid could have blue eyes. Same with one parent having brown eyes and the other blue.
