Where do Green Eyes and Blond Hair originate from?

Where do green eyes originate from?
- Northern and Central Europe.

What about blonde hair?
- If you mean where it first appear, Northern Europe.

And does the shade have anything to do with where, or does that just depend on how much color is in them?
- Yes, depending on geographical location.

And what if no one in my family has green eyes?
- Think of mixing 2 or more paint to get a new color, this is exactly the same! We usually get 2 genes, 1 from each parent. Will explain a little about blue / brown eyes before we get to green. :)

To get:
- Blue eyes = blue + blue
Baby need to inherit 2 genes of blue to have blue eyes.

- Brown eyes = blue + brown or brown + brown
Since brown is more dominant, if the baby inherited 1 brown gene, the baby gets brown eyes.

So, if my mom has blue eyes, and my dad brown, and I get 1 blue gene from my mom, 1 brown gene from my dad, I will have brown eyes. BUT rememberer, I still have 1 blue gene in me ... if I marry someone with brown eyes (but he had also inherited a blue gene), there is a good chance we both pass on the blue gene. That is why your eye color may be different from both your parents!

Ok, and so we get to green, which ... is a little more complicated. :)

The gene for green eyes is dominant over blue eye color, but is recessive to brown. So what color eyes could a baby have if one parent had green eyes and the other parent had brown eyes? Since the genetics of eye color is quite complex and poorly understood, the real answer is that the baby could have almost any eye color from hazel to blue.
