People with blue eyes share a common ancestor?

Question

How mad is that? Does anyone know if this has been disproven, cos I don't really want to believe it...

Answer 1

So where did green eyes come from? Can that also be a mutation.

Answer 2

It makes sense...but who knows anyway.

Answer 3

Yeah it's probably true

Answer 4

It probably is true. All Europeans for instance (and people of European descent,so that's MILLIONS in the US,canada etc) are descended from only 9 or 10 different women! (And nearly half of them are from one woman known  to geneticists as H or Helena.)
