It is known that blue or green eyes are a genetic mutation. But research conducted at Copenhagen University brings information about this shift: it would be published in 6000 -10 000 years ago, writes descopera.ro.
According to Hans Einberg, leader of the study, everyone had brown eyes. A OCA2 gene led to diversification but eye color. Mutation of this gene affects the production of melatonin, a pigment responsible for skin color, eyes and hair.
The first people with blue eyes or green appeared in the place which is now northern Afghanistan.
