Blame your troubles on your eye color

Postby LibraryLady » Thu Jun 12, 2014 8:39 am

Interesting speculation about eye color.

Seems alcohol tolerance, pain tolerance are just a few things researchers THINK may be connected to eye color.

I think it's encouraging that they can evade racism by differentiating between eye color instead of skin color. I imagine one might be called racist for associating eye and skin color in this context.

The nationalities of the groups studied might also have some bearing. But it may be a cause-and-effect paradox. For instance, among a brown eyed group, which came first- stoicism or resistance to pain? Maybe the physical trait became the cultural norm.

It's been proven that breeding dogs for certain traits results in common gene clusters. For instance, if you breed dogs for dependence and loyalty to humans (arrested puppyhood traits) dogs lose their feral canine curled tails. Any time a gene is expressed, it comes with other traits. In humans, genetic disorders like Down Syndrome (trisomy 21) have clustered traits (facial intellectual ability, stunted growth, heart malformations) , why shouldn't advantageous genetic deviations?

I'll bet a lot of study of these trait clusters in humans is quashed. It reeks of culturalism, racism, sexism, eugenics, etcetera. There's a lot to be learned here. Eye color seems to be a good place to start.

Not sure I'd agree with the findings of that article....I gave birth twice with absolutely no medicinal help. Totally my effort. And it was nothing I'd not do again. I didn't scream, I didn't curse my husband. I really considered childbirth experience to be not a big deal. I've broken toes and kept on running after the kids. My eyes are dark brown. Pretty sure I can handle some pain.

But Flash, you do bring up food for thought. Interesting.
