A groundbreaking genetic study led by Dr Hans Eiberg and his team at the University of Copenhagen has traced all blue-eyed individuals back to a single common ancestor who lived approximately ...

Yes, all blue-eyed people have a common ancestor. Through a genetic analysis of blue-eyed people in Jordan, Denmark and ...

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 ...

All blue-eyed people can trace their ancestry back to a single genetic mutation that occurred thousands of years ago in Europe. Today, only 10 percent of the global population has blue eyes ...

Individuals A and B both have brown eyes, even though A is heterozygous and B is homozygous (dominant). Only people with a homozygous recessive genotype can have blue eyes as shown by individual C.

(There are outliers, however. A 2024 genetic analysis showed a 1-year-old boy who lived in Europe about 17,000 years ago had dark skin, dark hair and blue eyes.) The genetic basis for lighter skin ...
