Yo, blue-eyed people, you're all related!

So sez the genetist in this article, who's been tracking this mitochondrial marker (that's the DNA that everyone inherits through their mother) all over the world. Blue eyed folks can trace their ancestry back to one person, according to this doctor.

FoxNews ran this story early last week. Their original headline was "Blue Eyed People All Genetic Mutants"

Yeah, that headline lasted about half an hour. :) I couldn't help but give Hubby and Nerdboy grief about being mutants, though.

Oh, go figure, I'm a day late (or week late). I like the Fox news title better than the article I linked to, sheesh. Mutants? LOL. Far as I'm concerned, we're ALL mutants! Blue eyed folks, their mutation is just obvious!

(and your icon? Icon Love!) Han did shoot first!
