People with blue eyes have a single, common ancestor, according to new research.
A team of scientists has tracked down a genetic mutation that leads to blue eyes. The mutation occurred between 6,000 and 10,000 years ago, so before then, there were no blue eyes.
"Originally, we all had brown eyes," said Hans Eiberg from the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine at the University of Copenhagen.
The mutation affected the so-called OCA2 gene, which is involved in the production of melanin, the pigment that gives color to our hair, eyes and skin.
"A genetic mutation affecting the OCA2 gene in our chromosomes resulted in the creation of a 'switch,' which literally 'turned off' the ability to produce brown eyes,"
Tenochtitlan's market place amazed the Spaniards. It was larger than any market place they had ever seen in Spain. Thousands of colorful birds squawked from cages. The Spaniards found Tenochtitlan clean and smelling of flowers. Spanish cities smelled like a sewer.
When Spanish soldiers first arrived in the Valley of Mexico, they were amazed at what they found in the capital city of Tenochtitlan. Everything was clean.
The Spanish first arrived in Tenochtitlan in November 1519. Hernando Cort6s led the Spanish invaders. Tenochtitlan amazed them when they entered. One of the men wrote that he thought what he saw was a dream. The population of the city when the Spanish arrived is estimated at between 200,000 and 300,000 people. It was larger than any city in Europe at the time.
Concealed behind the benevolent facade of the American mission civilisatrice is the brutal reality of invasion, slavery, forced relocation, genocide, land theft, ethnocide, and forcible denial of the right to self-determination wholly incompatible with contemporary understandings of U.S.-Indian history and with the notions of justice informing the human rights regime.
It is perhaps impossible to overstate the magnitude of the human injustice perpetrated against Indian people in denial of their right to exist, on their aboriginal landbase, as self-determining peoples: indeed, the severity and duration of the harms endured by the original inhabitants of the United States may well exceed those suffered by all other groups domestic and international.
pre-eighteenth century aggression in lands that became the United States, conquest was eventually applied in all the Americas, and the period subsequent to first contact is notorious as the "Age of Genocide."
treaties ceding land to the United States are physical embodiments of the fraud, unconscionability, and duress governing their drafting and as such are arguably subject to revisitation, reconstruction, and even renunciation as.
The discharge of that responsibility was compromised by federal policies of land acquisition ranging from fraud and deceit to expropriation and outright theft.
from the moment of its creation the United States was crafting legal solutions to the "problems caused by the ... fact that the Indians were here when the white man arrived. TALK ABOUT "attack us whenever our back is turned"
You racist asshole. I am not a muslim. I think reglion is full of propganda to bullshit morons like you. You have your head up your ass so far, that you would call the truth a lie. IDIOT
you obvisously don't understand the true reasons why Muslims oppose us and why we should leave the Middle east all together. You Nazi. Scum are people who are stuckup like you. You are certianly a weasel who believes he is as equal as CEOs like Sam Walton of Walmart but are is not. I am not ignorant. Don't confuse me with yourself. I do research to find the facts. You have no compassion, or soul in you. All you have is greed to be somethingyou never will be a stuck up rich man.
Lets not jump to any wild ideas that the shooter (who apparently glorified suicide bombers and jihadists) might have been a Muslim extremist. Instead, lets speculate on more reasonable possibilities: the almost 40 year old Army major might have been a gangbanger (as Blitzer proposed the other day) or that the major, who has never been deployed to a war zone, might be suffering from PTSD.
Media PC has reached new levels of insanity with this incident.
i dont see the lee harvey oswald comparison? could someone elaborate? the only connection i can make is they both killed someone, in this case 11, and that is about it... maybe because oswald was in the military? idk
Stupid media guy... said "shooters" vs. (Wolfie says) alleged shooters. As it turns out, the other two weren't involved. Stupid media is (apparently) not a Defense Information School (DINFOS), graduate. Or, if he is, he'll be detailed for a refresher course.
So PROGRESSIVE needed help to survive the 1st winter.

Over 5000 of our IRAQ Soldiers labeled 'Killed In Action'
But Over 100,000 more of our soldiers who died BECAUSE of IRAQ WAR, NEVER even get thought about.
Over 500,000 MORE IRAQ VET were disabled / injured for life. Never get thought about
& The Fact that IRAQ is a PLANNED war for Corporate Expansion upon the PEOPLE of IRAQ NEVER gets thought about
I want all the troops to be brought home now. All who served in IRAQ to be paid reparations by the Corporations who used them for crime
