"Their studies, published in the Springer journal Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, show that blue-eyed men find blue-eyed women more attractive than brown-eyed women. According to the researchers, it is because there could be an unconscious male adaptation for the detection of paternity, based on eye color."
It could be because we live in a Euro-centric, White-Is-Beautiful culture, ESPECIALLY IN Tromso, Norway, where this study was done.
"If both parents have brown eyes, a quarter of the children will have blue eyes, and three quarters will have brown eyes."
I think about 5 billion Asians, Africans, and Indigenous would love to prove this wrong.
depents, from what i have learned at school it's about as follows (i think it's more complex but i'll keep it simple)
it's like brown eyes are favored over blue eyes by nature for some reason, and in this case you can either have blue eyes or brown eyes (so to keep it simple, green is not an option, just brown or blue)
now the DNA strings for eye color will be a 2-digit one, 1 digit is given to you from your mother, randomly selected from either of her 2 digits, lets say your mother has brown eyes (Brown-Blue would be her digits for example) and your father has blue eyes (Blue-Blue would be the only possibility here), now they go make a child, the father will ALWAYS give a 'Blue' as a digit, since he has blue eyes, and the only possibility to have blue is is if you have two 'blues' as a digit, because if you would have had either two 'browns' or a brown and a blue, you would have had brown eyes and not blue, so he can only pass on 'blue' the mother will give either a 'brown' (which will result in brown eyes) or a 'blue' (which will result in blue eyes)
so in this case all the options would be
DNA given out by father: Blue
+DNA given out by mother: Brown or blue (50/50)
Blue+Blue = Blue (50% change)
Brown+Blue = Brown (50% chance)
another example:
father has brown eyes and mother has brown eyes too, the DNA of the mother is BrownBrown, your father has BrownBlue
now they get 2 childs, they will all have brown eyes, however the childs of their childs will not neccesecaraly have brown eyes too (they will most likely have brown eyes tho, but there is a small change because the father has 'blue DNA' altho he has brown eyes.
in this example both the children will have BrownBlue DNA (which will result in Brown eyes) now they make another child and the possibility of that child to get blue eyes is 25%! (because both of them have a 50% chance on passing on the 'blue' DNA, the combination BlueBrown, BrownBrown or BrownBlue will all result in brown eyes but only the BlueBlue combination will result in blue eyes.
it is more complex then this actually, but this is a simpler version of 'how it works'
(or your mother is not your mother)
