Added 2024-10-21 11:56:31 +0000 UTCDid you know that people with blue eyes have a unique genetic trait resulting from a mutation in the OCA2 gene, which reduces melanin production in the iris? This mutation occurred around 6,000 to 10,000 years ago, meaning all blue-eyed individuals share a common ancestor. Interestingly, blue eyes can appear to change color based on lighting or clothing, and they are more sensitive to bright light due to lower melanin levels. Blue eyes are relatively rare, with only about 8-10% of the global population having them, primarily in European descent. The more you know 👁️
