https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/01/080130170343.htm All blue eyed people descended from one mutated person, 6-10,000 years ago. I had a feeling.

Yup. We need a t-shirt. And a question I have always had..why is it when an oriental person begets with a non-oriental person, the eyes of the child are ALWAYS oriental?

Green eyes are even more rare than blue ... So what does that make me? Lol

Genes can be dominant or recessive. Blue eyes are from recessive genes so both parents must give the child a blue eye gene. Brown eyes are from a dominant gene so only one gene is required to have brown eyes. If one parent, like an Asian, has only brown eyed genes, the child cannot get the two blue eyed genes required to have blue eyes. The Monk Mendel discovered dominant genes as I recall ... but that was a long time ago. If you have a parent with one blue eyed gene and one brown eyed gene, the parent can have blue eyed children if the other parent has at least one blue eyed gene also.

Both parents and all grandparents have brown eyes and dark brown / black hair. Some are descendants from american Indians. I have blue eyes with one being a few shades to green. And I have blond hair. Lucky me. My father said I was adopted but they brought me back because they didn't want me. In all seriousness, I look like my parents/grandparents way too much to be adopted.

Referring to the oriental shape of the eyes? Is it just..dominant somehow?
