Blue-eyed people 'inbred mutants'
Friday Feb 1 12:00 AEDT
By ninemsn staff

Blue-eyed people are genetic mutants who spawned as a consequence of inbreeding thousands of years ago, a new study has revealed.

Danish scientists believe the first person to have sported blue eyes lived near the Black Sea between 6000 and 10,000 years ago, Fox News reports.

"Originally, we all had brown eyes," researcher Hans Eiberg said in a press release.

 
 
 
"But 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."

Professor Eiberg's 'switch' actually refers to DNA that sits next to the OCA2, the gene responsible for regulating the pigmentation of our eyes, skin and hair.

When that DNA is altered to 'A' (adenine) from 'G' (guanine), we are given blue eyes.

Professor Eiberg and his team sampled 155 members of an extended family in Denmark and a number of people from Turkey and Jordan.

The mutant gene was found in all participants bearing blue eyes, and in notably pure form — leading researchers to believe the transformation occurred not that long ago.

Professor Eiberg suspects the first blue-eyed person lived somewhere near the Black Sea and the gene was later spread to Europe and the Middle East, but he admitted he didn't know for sure.

But it would have taken at least a couple of generations for the colour shift to occur after the initial mutation, the researchers said.

Blue pigmentation is a recessive gene, so it would have required both parents to bear the altered DNA before anyone came out looking like Frank Sinatra.

That person was more likely to be the first mutant's grandchild or the great-grandchild.

But the same community also says Caucasian people were albinos in Africa who breeded together and moved up North. Questionable theories.

Actually I had heard that Blue eyes contain low amounts of melanin within the iris stroma. I guess this is a increase in eye cancer?

I don't know if it's true but I don't have blue eyes, my cousins have blue eyes though.

Every eye color is the result of mutation. That's basic evolution.

Whiter skin developed in the colder climates of Europe and East Asia to let in more vitamin D. Darker skin prevails in more tropical climates.

I'm glad to know I'm a mutant...

But why don't I get cool powers like all the other X-Men?...

I guess this sheds new light on how some people would perceive "ol' Blues Eyes" Frank Sinatra...

No no no no no.

Blue eyed people, you're getting the wrong idea.

YOU are not inbred mutants. You are just descended from people like the mountain men in Deliverence. :::D
