Is this the first man with blue eyes?

Ok, questions: I saw this posted by my lefty friend over on facebook (I don’t know but somehow it meant that creationists were racists or something - i don’t engage with him on these issues - I just like his puppy/kitty/music posts.)

But how does anyone know what color this guy’s eyes or skin were, from looking at his ancient bones?

I am not sure how one would advance such a scientific thesis without getting laughed at.

One body, one set of blue-eye genes. What are the odds, if some early person had the first ones, of actually finding the body of that person?

Did he have a very deep and hypnotizing voice?

They know, within a degree of certainty, from looking at his genes not his bones.

He looks like the guy who played Attila the Hun.

Blue-eyed black man, 7,000 years old, with Siberian DNA connections found 5000’ up in the mountains of northwest Spain.

PING - already gave it the godsgravesglyphs codeword.

I was thinking that too. Could just be a person who had a Scandinavian parent and an African parent.

It's a little odd that your lefty friend is using this article to call Creationists racists since it comes from the Institute of Evolutionary Biology in Barcelona. More the mainstream ivory tower type of scientists. You know ... liberals.

He did play in one of those period rolls, but I’m not sure if he did play the roll of Attila the Hun or not.
