Eye colour in Asians
While in Europe almost all babies are born with blue eyes in the beginning, Asian babies are more likely to be born with brown eyes. The same is also true for African babies, respectively for babies with dark skin colour. Although Asians have light skin colour, light eye colour is not very common among them.
There is the assumption that the blue eye colour was created several thousand years ago by a mutation and then passed on. With the Asians this mutation seems not to have become generally accepted, so that it is hardly to be found in the genetic material of Asians.
