Those brown eyes are beautiful. Why are they brown?

Accordant to http://www.eyedoctorguide.com, Brown eyes appear brown due to the pigment known as melanin the same pigment that causes skin to tan. The darker the eyes the more melanin it contains and the lighter the eyes the less melanin. Melanin can protect the body from some types of cancers. Research suggests that those with brown eyes are less likely to have melanoma cancer or better known as skin cancer. Without that pigment the brown eyes would be blue.

Where did those brown eyes come from?

It has been said that over thousands of years ago everyone had brown eyes. Brown is the most common eye color. In many parts of the world, people only have brown eyes like in Asia and Africa. Scientists believe the brown eye gene is dominant over blue and  green eye genes.

So what about blue eyes?

It has been said that all blue-eyed people may have a common ancestor. Accordant to http://www.allaboutvision.com/conditions/eye-color-blue.htm Blue eyes come from a genetic mutation in a single individual European. Blue eyes have only been developed in 6,000 to 10,000 years ago according to researchers at the University of Copenhagen. Hans Eiberg associate professor from the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine said, “A genetic mutation affecting the OCA2 gene in our chromosomes resulted in the creation of a ‘switch,’ which literally turned off the ability to produce brown eyes.” The pigment of melanin in the iris was removed to create blue eyes. Green eyes are the diluted version of the pigment but still have some melanin.
