Blue-eyed humans have a single, common ancestor
Hi. My name's Easy Skanking and I'm a mutant. I come from a family of mutants. This is our story...

New research shows that people with blue eyes have a single, common ancestor. A team at the University of Copenhagen have tracked down a genetic mutation which took place 6-10,000 years ago and is the cause of the eye colour of all blue-eyed humans alive on the planet today.
Originally, we all had brown eyes, said Professor Eiberg from the Department of Cellular and Molecular Biology. But a genetic mutation affecting the OCA2 gene in our chromosomes resulted in the creation of a switch, which literally turned off the ability to produce brown eyes.
The OCA2 gene codes for the so-called P protein, which is involved in the production of melanin, the pigment that gives colour to our hair, eyes and skin. The switch, which is located in the gene adjacent to OCA2 does not, however, turn off the gene entirely, but rather limits its action to reducing the production of melanin in the iris effectively diluting brown eyes to blue.
The switchs effect on OCA2 is very specific. If the OCA2 gene had been completely destroyed or turned off, human beings would be without melanin in their hair, eyes or skin colour a condition known as albinism.
Variation in the colour of the eyes from brown to green can all be explained by the amount of melanin in the iris, but blue-eyed individuals only have a small degree of variation in the amount of melanin in their eyes. From this we can conclude that all blue-eyed individuals are linked to the same ancestor, says Professor Eiberg. They have all inherited the same switch at exactly the same spot in their DNA. Brown-eyed individuals, by contrast, have considerable individual variation in the area of their DNA that controls melanin production.
Professor Eiberg and his team examined mitochondrial DNA and compared the eye colour of blue-eyed individuals in countries as diverse as Jordan, Denmark and Turkey. His findings are the latest in a decade of genetic research, which began in 1996, when Professor Eiberg first implicated the OCA2 gene as being responsible for eye colour.
The mutation of brown eyes to blue represents neither a positive nor a negative mutation. It is one of several mutations such as hair colour, baldness, freckles and beauty spots, which neither increases nor reduces a humans chance of survival. As Professor Eiberg says, it simply shows that nature is constantly shuffling the human genome, creating a genetic cocktail of human chromosomes and trying out different changes as it does so.

So the brown gene was not needed any more and blue was better
for the situation. Perhaps in northern climates.
Gene damage from radiation no doubt or being too close to God and his
angles like Adam. No, then everyone would have blue eyes.
No, Eve had the brown eyes, God left and left her next to Adam.
Oh,yeah.
Any reason for Husky dogs having blue eyes but Eskimos do not?
So he found a gene, we knew that.

i know someone with Brown spectrum eyes. their father has Blue spectrum eyes their mother Brown.Their child has Blue eyes. On the father's side people related have Green spectrum eyes.
it great people are working into this, even thougfh ultimately the results are in 'evil hands..but that gene is woven all around. tribes are flux really.

Science doesn't always reach conclusions. It often draws them.

he's still half right, .... all humans had a common ancestor whether you want to call them adam and eve or chimps. :rolleyes:

I can think of something else far far worse than science mike :wink:

Genetics isn't simple, but yes, most mutations have one single ancestor, and blue eyes and blonde hair is a mutation too.
One day Chuang Tzu and a friend were walking by a river. &Look at the fish
swimming about,& said Chuang Tzu, &They are really enjoying themselves.&
&You are not a fish,& replied the friend, &So you can't truly know that they
are enjoying themselves.&
&You are not me,& said Chuang Tzu. &So how do you know that I do not
know that the fish are enjoying themselves?&

What about Aussie Aboriginies. Some have blue eyes, or red hair, and other anomalies from what I understand, prior to any kind of European mixing.
What up with that?

thanks for the heads up. what's the deal with Cayce?
I'm really not the man to ask but from what I can gather he's either a genuine psychic and/or an initiated Mason/Rosicrucian who may of been using their secret history as his "readings", but I'm sure someone else can provide a much deeper expose
yeah yeah, that's kind of what I knew of him too. first I heard the prophet bit and then then possiblity he was actually an initiate of a secret order of dubious aims...i just wondered if that was substantiated anywhere either way...
I hope someone can "shed some light onto this" as well..some kind of clarity to this issue surely has great bearing on ijnterpreting his written works..sure, no one can say if he was psychic or not but it should be traceable if he had masonic or rosicrucian background.
what with all the myth making around remote viewing etc. ...
For the life of me I can't remember where (I'm assuming a Texe Marrs-type dude) but someone talked about how Remote Viewing is the ultimate of "evil" and that you aren't actually visiting anything, but are simply being given fake visions by demons. How anyone would know this without participating is beyond me, but take that for what it's worth.
Remote Viewing is a strange motherfucker. There's a book on it called "Opening Minds" where the author thought it was fake and then ended up doing it, but I can't find many consistent experiences. One instant people are describing boats down the street, the next they're on Mars 4,000 years ago.
One thing that gets on my fuckin nerves though is how come none of these remote viewers can make an actual thesis of the history of it all? I've read through some books by first-handers and I always end up tossing them against the wall because each one contradicts the fuck out of the other.
It's state as a science is muddy IMO, that does not mean it is not a real phenomenon, just that it might be subject to just as much disinfo schemes as anything else in UFOlogy and ancient astronauts.
