Science Daily: All Blue-Eyed Humans (i.e. me) have a common ancestor

W00t! I’m a genetic mutant! Now I need a good costume and some superpowers. I could try out for Who Wants to be a Superhero now.

In response to my being a mutant, my wife replied “(shrug) I knew that already.”  Heh.

Seriously though, the concept that a mutation (neither positive nor negative) links me and other blue-eyers back to a common ancestor thousands of years ago is pretty darned neat.

Wait, I’m related to Frank Sinatra! W00t again!

And if you choose to pose the understandable claim that while I AM blue-eyed, I may not be human, I expect your comment to have proper AMA references.
