The Origin of Blue Eyes 🧬

Ever wondered why some eyes are blue? This video uncovers the fascinating origin story of blue eyes, tracing them back to a single common ancestor! We'll explore the incredible genetic mutation that occurred thousands of years ago, which essentially 'turned off' melanin production in the front layer of the iris, leading to the scattering of light that makes eyes appear blue. Discover how this single genetic change spread across populations, making blue eyes a relatively recent and unique human trait. It's a journey into human evolution and the remarkable power of genetics!
