I was reading Elizabeth Weintraub's blog this morning. She talked about blue eyed Italians. Do you know what percentage of the world's population has blue eyes?

In our family it was 50/50 but that ratio is a lot lower in the real world, looking forward to the answer.

A dwindling percentage - it's a recessive gene and we are co-mingling and rather quickly. The Italian blue eyes come from Roman slaves, who were mostly from northern Europe, settled at the time in current-day France. They were overrun and enslaved.

Those are the northern Italians with close ties to the Germanic Countries. Blue eyes is a recessive gene type, so not as many as Brown-eyed peoples.
