Blue eyes traced to mutation 6-10 thousand y.a

[andy89lion]

According to scientists at the University of Copenhagen (and I believe other studies have been done which confirm this) all people with blue eyes can be traced to a single mutation which occurred in the near-east 6,000 to 10,000 years ago. I have brown eyes, but I think this interesting when you take into account all the theories about the Anunnaki and white people coming from outer space. Also interesting was where they pin pointed the mutation, to the near east region, the black sea or the northern part of Afghanistan. These are all relatively the Caucasus region where ancient aliens researchers pin point the arrival of the aliens who genetically manipulated human D.N.A. The time frame also fits with the Sumerian legends. Or with the destruction of Mars, which alien researchers have suggested was destroyed at around this time.

Frank Sinatra, Stephen Hawking, Marie Curie and Stephen Fry all owe their blue eyes to a genetic mutation that likely occurred between 6,000 and 10,000 years ago, researchers say.
Blue eyes result of ancient genetic 'mutation'.

Blue eye colour originated near the Black Sea
Scientists believe they have tracked down the cause of the eye colour of all blue-eyed humans on the planet today.

“Originally, we all had brown eyes”, said Prof Hans Eiberg from the University of Copenhagen, who led the team.

Blue eye colour most likely originated from the near east area or northwest part of the Black Sea region, where the great agriculture migration to the northern part of Europe took place in the Neolithic periods about six–10,000 years ago.

“That is my best guess,” he said. “It could be the northern part of Afghanistan.”

The mutation affected a gene called OCA2 and “literally 'turned off' the ability to produce brown eyes”, he says.

OCA2 is involved in the production of melanin, the pigment that gives colour to hair, eyes and skin.

The mutation in the adjacent gene does not switch off the OCA gene entirely but limits its action, reducing the production of melanin in the iris of the eye – “diluting” brown eyes to blue.

If the OCA2 gene had been completely turned off, those who inherited this mutation would be without melanin in their hair, eyes or skin colour - albino.

For the study, Prof Eiberg’s team examined DNA in blue-eyed individuals in countries as diverse as Jordan, India, Denmark and Turkey.

His findings are the latest in a decade of genetic research, which began in 1996, when Prof Eiberg first implicated the OCA2 gene as being one of those responsible for eye colour.

“They have all inherited the same switch at exactly the same spot in their DNA. From this we can conclude that all blue-eyed individuals are linked to the same ancestor,” said Prof Eiberg, who reports the work in the journal Human Genetics.

so I am descended from a zalion because I am blonde and blue eyed? wondered why I liked to lick flies out of the air as a kid lol

Haha. Black people are actually the only race native to the earth. Well, according to David Wilcock.

I find this article suspect, one:- The actual Uni has not announced it on their official websites. Also cannot seem to find him in their directory either. Only Hans Eiberg mentioned was in relation to a project done by the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine. It was called:- Copenhagen Family Bank, and RCLINK and was divided into:-

Resource center for linkage analysis (850 families with at least 4 children)
Family structure
50 families with more than 6 children tested for more than 400 markers.
Serum,plasma,erythrocytes from all. B-lymphocytes,DNA,mRNA from 300 families
Psoriasis (50 informative families)
Asthma & hay fever (120 informative families with at least 4 children)
Enuresis 18 families
Migraine 30 families
Common traits (such as eye colour, hair colour etc.)
Eye diseases (cataract, opticus atrophy, Groenouw I)
Psychiatric diseases (depressions,schizofrenia)
NIDDM

However there seems to be no mentioned of anything other a paper wrote in 1996. Mr Hans ain't even a 'professor' here and now isn't in their directory.

What about green eyes, mine are green. What am I?

This isn't a recent article. Trust me this is a real study, it was covered in the London Telegraph, by MSNBC and others. I have no idea why you are doubting this just because you couldn't find his name on google search. Regardless, here is a link to Professor Eiberg's profile at the University of Copenhagen website. As you said he is a professor in the department of cellular and molecular medicine. Why don't you e-mail him about it.

Thank you for posting this :)

I read it a couple of years ago when it came out in the news.

Nice re-read :D

No doubting the field of research to be correct, just found it suspect. But appears you found him on their website, when I couldn't, it seems a little more realistic.

A freak of nature :p

Jokes, green eyes are meant to be when you have a medium amount of melanin in your eyes in between that of a blue and brown eyed person, so don't know if that helps. But if you ask me they also have an extraterrestrial origin.

sorry but no mutation has EVER benefited an organism

i dont buy it sorry

Seems to be a rather odd position to take. Although most mutations tend to be recessive and as such weaker, some of them demonstrably benefit an organism. Say a species is inherently large, and then the environment is subject to changes whereby there is a lack of food and they are unable to maintain their large frame. One organism within the species that held a mutation that made it smaller would then be at an advantage. How do you explain your position? Is this something your religion teaches you?

no just science and lil' gut feeling :)

there is still so much we dont understand of the genome, my personal theory is that DNA stores memory as well, it like a living record, but yes its adaptable i grant that but within parameters as im sure it was designed this way, an incredible biologic computer capable of witnessing and comprehending the universe itself

i also believe in Infinite Intelligent Design Theory which i just made up ;)

PS i dont believe in god...

Yes, I believe Adam was the first Blue eyed man 6000 years ago.

I totally agree with you on DNA storing memory. That makes sense to me, and also there is some evidence for it as well, for example the monarch butterfly. But yeah as you say this could have been genetic manipulation which shows up as a 'mutation', i.e., change in the genetic structure, rather than an actual mutation which spread to the wider population.
