Blues Men
Why do some, mostly young men, have blue eyes in Turkey?

I was staying in Side when i saw quite a few men with dark hair and blue eyes, whats the history of it?

because blue eye gene is evolved about 10000 years ago in a single common ancestor of those people and throughout that time, blue eyed people went on migration. although it is preasumably evolved in northern part of old world, there are still descendants of that person all around the world. just its frequency is low and because blue eye gene is recessive, that trait isnt seen much in other populations. also eye and hair genes is not related (or loosely related for some types)

also in Side there are lots of foreign residents, they bring some more blue eye genes to gene pool. with a dominant dark hair gene from other parent for example, there you celebrate diversity

let me edit more clearly: blue eyed people have no pigment in one layer of eyes’ two layers. so if a child gets a blue eye gene(s) from one parent and brown eye gene(s) from other parent, child will have some pigment in his/her eyes so his/ her eyes will not be blue. however when this child grows up and marries another blue eyed person.. their child may get that blue eye gene(s) from him/her and will have blue eyes (%50) and if a dominant, dark hair pigment come along with that here you see a cool guy

edit 2: there is no difference between man and woman for genetics of eye colour. possibly you look at men more : )

edit 3 : for Alexandra I

she clearly shows how racism and nationalism damage brain and prevent clear thinking. % 90 -95 huh? blue eye ratio in population in moldova? see for yourself, here is link http://westernparadigm.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/blue_eyes_map2.jpg. also i have been moldova. and didnt see that much difference. %90-95? blond hair? blue eyes ? maybe you have memory disorder huh? maybe you went iceland? in turkey, we had a very intelligent thinker and he once said, “to have a good opinion, one must have knowledge” you have no knowledge and a distorted opinion. and you say turks are barbarian, no i wont generalize for your country, i will say it just for you… you are a loser
