Blue Eyes

New research shows that people with blue eyes have a single, common ancestor. Scientists have tracked down a genetic mutation which took place  1000’s of years ago and is the cause of the eye color of all blue-eyed humans alive on the planet today.  Only about 8 percent of folks have blue eyes.  I do, am I related to you?

I have Hazel eyes. My parents and sister and grandparents all had blue eyes. My dad's sister and her daughters all had brown eyes.

I'm laughing at Fleta's comment. Nope, nobody blue-eyed in my family.
