Скачать или смотреть The Blue-Eyed Mutation: How One Ancient Gene Shaped Humanity

Explore the astonishing journey of blue eyes in this episode of Sci Discovery Chronicles. Discover how a single mutation near the HERC2/OCA2 genes in one individual between 6,000–14,000 years ago created the iconic blue eye trait. We delve into ancient DNA finds—from the Villabruna hunter-gatherers to La Brana and Margaux Woman—that reveal blue eyes emerged among dark-skinned peoples far earlier than we knew. Learn how migrations, genetic drift, and cultural preferences amplified this neutral mutation across Europe, the health associations linked to eye pigmentation, and what your eye color says about your ancestry.
