Growing up I haven't met many people with green eyes. But now I see a fair few Caucasians with green eyes. I considered it a fairly rare trait. So heres my blunt broad question. What parts of the world do people with green eyes come from. I apologise if you don't like the format of my post.

The peoples who eventually became modern Europeans are descended from African migrations to the Caucasus mountain region and from there to the place which is now modern day Ukraine.

That's the place where Europeans evolved green and blue eyes, and white skin.

Also, does someone have any kind of information(study, paper, etc.) about if having blue, grey, or green eyes could be superior to having brown/black eyes? Could there be an advantage to have light eyes where (for example) the sun hours are few, or where the climate is different?
So far I've only read theories about blue and green eyes being a "side effect" from developing pale skin to more easily absorb sunlight.

>> No.8628633

>>8628172
no it's the inverse.
all humans have blue eyes during infancy or shortly before birth, then the brown layer grows on top of it or something. It's been postulated to help filter UV out or some shit. People have recently succeeded in burning off the top layer of their iris using surgery to make their eyes blue.

evolution doesn't always have to create change that makes the population better. All that is needed is that the mutation doesn't lead to an increased death rate of the population and it will be carried along.

There are fossils in the caucasus mountain region as old or older than any fossils found in subsaharan africa. You imply the saharan region was crossable by any pre-modern human. It would take great reasoning, planning, resource allocation, and likely the assistance of domestic camels to have accomplished this - well prior to the age of these fossils found near simultaneously in the geologic record.

homo sapien evolved in many different corners of the globe giving each of the species groups different and unique qualities according to the extreme environments each survived in. The neanderthal evolved in northern europe, thus it didn't evolve black skin and enlarged nostrils and a pre-immunity to malaria with sickle cell. Would you really expect any other result? Stop ignoring the obvious environmental evolutionary aspects that make each species of humanity different, unique and special in its own way.

why are you being intentionally deceptive? That's literally a cartoon caricature and not a realistic representation of the Neanderthal. They would've been 90% related to present day europeans with their children being indecernable from present day european children. Having evolved in temperate/nordic climates they would've only had white/caucasian skin. They were masters of stone age technology, masters of fire, mourned and buried their dead, participated in rituals/spiritualism, crafted garments, and cooked their food.

Humans are 99% related to our common ancestor with chimpanzees so I doubt that you are correct in saying that Neanderthals are only 90% related to modern Europeans. And if Neanderthals were 90% related to modern Europeans, they would definitely not look like them, regardless. Even intuitively, in any situation, something that's 10% different from something else is very discernible. So get your shit right, I'm pretty sure this whole argument is conjecture on inaccurate information or your own guesswork.

>> No.8631698

There is a theory:
The green/blue pigments don't absorb as much light as the vanilla blue ones, therefore people with green/blue eyes produce less "sleep hormones", when it gets dark, which is probably helpful if you live in northern countries.

Source: A Master Biology student, who made a study about this. But even she said, that she hadn't found useful data.

What sort of new breed of racism-serving headcanon is this? No scientist on Earth would tell you this. Different human ethnicities are not the result of convergent evolution. I can't imagine how you devised this, or what "science" you think supports this and has debunked all other theories.

You really go full retard when you think it goes all the way back to tails. We have evolved from a common ancestor with all other great apes. Everyone in our immediate family, including chimps and gorillas, lost the tails a long time ago.
