Steve Sailer has a good piece from the LATimes that quotes one of my fave anthros at UofWisc, John Hawks.
As blue eyes are recessive, it takes two parents with baby blues to produce a baby with blues. Or at least, blue-eyed parents can't produce a brown-eyed girl---unless the milkman came early.
As an afterthought, Hawks mentions that the larger the population, the faster evolution proceeds in humans---so it's going to be a bumpy ride in the pop-boom USA.
"Much have I seen and known; cities of men And manners, climates, councils, governments, ...the fortune of us that are the moon's men doth ebb and flow like the sea, being govern'd, as the sea is, by the moon" [Henry IV, I.ii.31-33] HISTORY NEVER REPEATS ITSELF, BUT IT OFTEN RHYMES "There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America." Otto von Bismarck
