While I was getting lost in my own thoughts, I thought I'd check out some pictures of blue eyes on Google. I mean, sometimes I am just curious wonder about things that are so random! And most of the time, I can't get it out of my head unless I learn more about or do a little research. I've noticed the beautiful specks of yellow and green in some people with blue eyes. Personally, I think blue eyes are so pretty! And since I don't have blue eyes myself, I just wanted to see how it looked close-up which lead me to this website descrbing the evolution of blue eyes. This is it:
Did you know that blue eyes evolved from brown eyes? At one point in the Earth's history, everyone had brown eyes. Scientists have recently discovered a mutation in a specific gene that allows them to pinpoint an exact timeframe, between 6,000-10,000 years ago, when a particular individual's eye color suddenly changed. What does this mean, exactly? All people with blue eyes descended from one common ancestor.
COOL EH? So if you have blue eyes, you could be related to Zac Efron, Reese Witherspoon, Miley Cyrus, Lindsay Lohan, John Travolta, Jake Gyllenhaal, or Brad Pitt too name a few!
