All blue-eyed people on Earth descend from a single common ancestor.
One person had a mutation 6,000–10,000 years ago that switched off melanin production in the iris, creating blue eyes for the first time. That trait spread because it was considered attractive.
Green eyes are even rarer, while brown was the original human eye color.
A 2008 University of Copenhagen study confirmed that nearly all blue-eyed people share the exact same mutation in the HERC2 gene — strong evidence of a single founder.
One tiny genetic change in one individual thousands of years ago created a visible trait now carried by hundreds of millions of people today.
@MrBranman@creepydotorg Reddit isn’t the source, champ, she is, it just happens to have the video or her saying the thing I quoted. She’s the best source. Just because misinformation is repeated online doesn’t make it true. I’m interested in truth not this weird competition you are making out of this.
@MrBranman@creepydotorg Shelley Duvall in 2022 recalling working with Stanley Kubrick: "we had a great relationship, actually, even though there were some differences from time to time. I knew Stanley loved me. Period."
Amazon MGM Studios which is valued at almost $10 billion is releasing a movie about He-Man this year which will easily make millions of dollars. Meanwhile, the literal creator of the character, who without him that movie wouldn’t even exist, has to rely on a GoFundMe for his medical care. Fucking insane.
