Your family might be a bit bigger than you realised. All blue-eyed people descend from a single human who lived around 10,000 years ago, scientists believe.

All blue-eyed people apparently descend from a single human who lived between 6,000 and 10,000 years ago, so your family might be bigger than you thought...

If you have blue eyes and encounter another azure-eyed person, you can confidently say, “Hey there, cousin!” Scientists have determined that, until a specific gene mutated, all humans had brown eyes.

A breakdown of the genomics landscape in Denmark, including the Danish strategy for personalised medicine and the 1 million genomes project.

Study Finds All Blue-Eyed People Are Related to An Ancestor Who Lived 6,000 Years Ago   Whilst there are several characteristics that make all of us unique, from the colour of our hair to our shoe size, there’s one characteristic that gives those who share it a lot more in common than you may think – blue eyes!     Naturally, we know that blue eyes are much rarer than brown after scientists revealed that the genetic mutation of the OCA2 gene came from a singular human being many, many ye...

Updated Dec 22, 2020 | 15:19 IST One may think the findings of the study are new but they were first discovered back in 2008 when a team of researchers from the University of Copenhagen studied and tracked down the mutation. Blue-eyed people related to single, common ancestor: Study&nbsp Human beings differ from one another by their skin tone, hair colour, and height. But one varying characteristic that stands out from the rest is eye colour. The colour of the eye is det...
