Blue-Eyes Linked

I just read this online and found it fascinating. Not that I, along with every over blue-eyed person, have the same common ancestor, but that this is BIG NEWS. Apparently, these scientists are unfamiliar with the Book of Genesis. According to the Bible, we all have the same common ancestor! His name was Adam.


The University of Copenhagen out of Denmark has managed to trace the genetic lineage of blue-eyed individuals all the way back to a single ancestor.
By studying various people from distinctly unique countries like Jordan and Turkey, they discovered that everyone had brown eyes in the beginning.However, at some point in our history, a switch was triggered which caused brown eyes to transition to blue. The way this happened was that the amount of melanin in the iris became "diluted" as they put it.
This switch appears in the same genetic spot for each person, linking back to a common ancestor. The scientists referred to this as a mutation of the "OCA2 gene" which toned down the amount of melanin produced.
