Blue-eyed humans have a single, common ancestor

And a busy boy was he.

Wait...so if two blue eyed people get it on...it’s incest?

...and don’t it make my brown eyes
don’t it make my brown eyes, blue.

I’ll play along. I have blue eyes. My parents have brown eyes. Is my father my father? /lol

Both your parents carried a recessive gene for blue eyes. They had a four in one chance of any child having blue eyes.

Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue

I knew there was a song about this! This scientest is way behind Crystal Gayle!

Damn I am a mutant!

Here’s your sign.

Interesting. My husband and I have blue eyes.

[GQuagmire]

You are correct. Actually I got my paternal grandmother’s eyes.

[Kozak]

Now if both your parents had blue eyes and you had brown eyes, the answer would be no.

Parthenogenesis?

[Kozak]

You are correct. Actually I got my paternal grandmother’s eyes.

Doesn't she miss them?

[GQuagmire]

DNA tests?

So I have blue eyes and my wife has brown eyes. Her mother had blue eyes, her father brown.

I tell her that our future children are going to have brown eyes. That's not quite right, is it?

uh oh... ; )

There were eight people on the ark, Noah, his wife, the three sons and their wives.

I guess one of them was blue-eyed. At least the time line (6 to 10,000 years ago) is correct.
