Thanks Robert!  I was starting to figure that it meant blue eyes, I'm a little slow at times.    I'm glad that you mentioned that research here!  Will send links about it to my blue-eyed siblings.

Are any of you Facebook users?  I'm not, but I just happened to come across (seriously, I wasn't even searching for this stuff! LOL) a CBC article that mentions a recent Facebook feature which allows "users to give genes as virtual gifts"!  There I also found some more interesting links.

Genome Alberta explains the Facebook application and more.

Interesting links on that page regarding genes and genomes:

Soriak, I hope you don't mind since these aren't about The Genographic Project specifically!  Hope this is okay.
