There are many things that your eye color
reveals about you. Did you know that no two people have the ‘exact’ same
eye color? Or what about he fact that every person with blue eyes can be traced back
to the same ancestor that lived in the black sea region about 10,000
years ago? It’s true. Everyone alive today with blue eyes has a very
specific DNA sequence. Some of you may already know that when babies are
first born, they have no melanin in their eyes, thus giving them a
‘hazy blue’ eye color. This changes quickly, though, into whatever color
will be the baby’s permanent eye color.
Brown eye color used to be considered dominant, but scientists have now revealed
that eye color is actually a multi-gene trait, rather than a single
gene one. It’s a little bit more complicated than to simply say that the
brown eye color is the dominant one. It’s more of a gene combination.
Did you know it’s genetically possible to have your iris divided into
two colors, or even TWO different color irises?!
Did you now that eye color can change over
time? Eyes don’t constantly produce pigment, thus becoming lighter or
even darker as time goes on. This little info-graphic by Mezzmer illustrates all of these fun facts in an easy to understand way. Your eyes truly say a lot about your ancestry.
