Blue Eyes Are Only 10,000 Years Old. Heres How It Started

Where did blue eyes come from?

Thousands of years ago, in the forests near the Black Sea, a tiny mutation in a single human changed the course of human appearance forever. That mutation—called rs12913832—turned off melanin in the iris, creating blue eyes for the first time in history.
