Blue eyes?

Brown eyes more prehistoric?
(Grunt!) Me got brown eyes, Hungry! Go hunt food at Quickie-Mart! Ug!

Blue/grey eyes on Dad's side of family, brown on Mum's.

Yes brown eyes are an older gene, as is darker skin and hair. Those of us who resemble walking catalogs of recessive genes are simply more advanced.

Blue eyes are a recessive trait... both parents have to give you the aleal (sp?) for blue eyes, or your eyes aren't blue.

That's exactly what I thought(woohoo for high school biology). I've also heard that having green eyes is just a variation of having brown eyes.

Haha. I think it just means you have newer genes. Nice try though.

Dark brown eyes here, with dark brown hair w/ reddish tint (though the grey is taking over )...

Dad has brown eyes (not as dark as mine) & brown hair, Mum has green eyes & dark brown hair -- her people (Moore's) back in Missouri Ozarks had alot of bright blue eyes & reddish hair.

My 8 yr old daughter was born dark haired / blue eyes, but recently her eyes are starting to turn greenish(!!).

Ah shucks!... I still stand by my statement that I think blue eyes with brown hair look beautiful.

Thank you Ted for noticing, I try to look my best.

I have blue eyes (as Ted pointed out) my wife, hazel (as in Witch Hazel ). When she was schooling to be a nurse she came home and said that she had the dominant eye colour and mine were whatever the scientific term is for whipped. She also told me that our offspring would have her colour. Happy, happy, joy, joy both of our kids have my gorgeous blue eyes. Hmmm, perhaps she's not their real Mom after all ( please, please ).

Or mutants... where'd that X-Men recruiter go...?

Well, you are quite welcome.

And the part about your wife... I don't know anything about that...

Close... upon channelling my inner Gregor Mendel, I remember it as 'allele'. One thing I retained from those science classes years ago. Regardless of whoever I may be distantly related to, Mom is dark brown/brown, and Dad is dark brown/blue. My brother's brown/brown, and I luckily turned out brown/blue.

I don't know anything about breeding wrinkly and smooth skinned peas either...
