Cisco Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Thanks for your interest. I have read a number of reports with interest in eye color and wondered how it was that some witnesses report red while some report yellow or any other color. So the more read I began to notice an array of different colors, and the more interest was drawn to daytime sightings and eye color. I was most interested in daytime sightings listing eye color making special note of it, and I do not recall white sclera mentioned in any description that I have making it all the more interesting. What I did note, however, was a handful or less descriptions of blue or green among about 271 or more reports listing eye color and so question is if DNA genetic chromosome’s trace human lineage back to early Caucasoid Europe, how or where does Sasquatch fit into this equation? Going back to my question involving the primary color of the iris and the distinct lack of sclera or white portion of the eye; is it possible to determine which reports are true and which are misindentification? For example, do all sighting reports, in which detailed descriptions of the eyes are given, note that the visible portion of the eye is one color or can they clearly see the white portion of the eye. For example, bears have no visible sclera and, as I noted in an earlier post, neither do chimps or gorillas. It would stand to reason that Bigfoot can't have blue or green eyes, unless the entire visible portion of the eye is all green or blue. If a witness claims to have seen a Bigfoot with a highly visible portion of the white part of the eye, then that's not a characteristic that's commonly described. It's not possible for a species to have such varied eye structure. Different eye colors I can believe. A totally different anatomical structure, of the eye, between members of the same species, would be genetically impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 It is all genetics. Every time they mate, they add every genetic chromosome they have into the mix their mate has. If genuine blue eyes are reported, and since that is a recessive gene, the dad would have to have blue eyes and those genes to pass along to the offspring. If the offspring mates with a brown eyed BF then the eyes would be brownish or hazel. There are some fish who have luminous eyes like that, if BF have them, that is a rare trait and totally out of the norm. 1) I don't think you can say that because blue eyes are recessive in humans that they must also be in BF. 2) In humans, both the father and the mother can have brown eyes, yet have a baby with blue eyes. In this case both parents would be heterozygous. If both parents have blue eyes, they will have a blue eyed child. This is, of course, a very basic example, as it can and does get much more cmplex than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not present to ask those questions you posed. They are after action reports usually spoken or recounted in their own words of what they describe so, for that reason I would say it would be impossible determine which reports are true or misidentified. I personally am not in the business of doubting each and every report until its proven true, anymore that I can unring a bell or put the tooth paste back in the tube but thanks for your post. 1) I don't think you can say that because blue eyes are recessive in humans that they must also be in BF. 2) In humans, both the father and the mother can have brown eyes, yet have a baby with blue eyes.

I may be incorrect but I am not so certain that is always the case Nod4Eight. Maybe someone else here with more knowledge on the matter could add more to it than I.

Guest Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) Assuming blue eye ( b ) is recessive and brown eye ( B ) is dominant: Each parent passes one of their genes along, either a ( b ) or a ( B ). Father being heterozygous (Bb) brown eye and monther the same (Bb) will produce (statistically speaking) 75% brown eye and 25% blue eye offspring. One (BB), two (Bb) (or one (Bb) and one (bB) if you like) and one (bb). One (BB), two (Bb) (or one (Bb) and one (bB) if you like) and one (bb) Two blue eyed parents (both being (bb)) can produce no other option but blue eye offspring (bb). Biology class was a while ago, but that's what I remember from Mendel and his peas. Well, apparently ( B ) makes a smiley face on here, edited to clean out all the smiley faces I accidentally created. Here is a picture, and you can certainly read up on it by a Google search. And yes, this is simplifying it down quite a bit as I am not taking into account green and hazel, or even pink eyes. In this picture the white star on top would be your blue eyed grandfather. You can see how it works I'm sure. Edited February 4, 2015 by Nod4Eight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
