The Banana Wars - The History of the Banana
The first domesticated bananas originated in southeast Asia and Papua New Guinea. So how did they make their way to pretty much every other country and how did they become so popular? That answer is filled with exploitation, war and corruption. In this episode we explore the dark history behind the now common fruit.

      Both my parents and sister have brown eye's and I ended up having green. My grandmother had green eyes which is how I got them. Even when your parents have brown or blue eyes they can still carry the green eye color in their genetics. Sometimes it skips a generation.

    My mother had blue eyes, my father had Hazel eyes. I had bright blue eyes until puberty. Then they turned green, sometimes grey, depending on the weather and what I'm wearing. My oldest grandaughter's eyes also went from blue to green/grey at puberty. My oldest son went from blue to grey in his teens.

    My mother had blue eyes, my dad had brown eyes and I have green eyes and I’m not adopted. My dad’s mother had grey eyes and I never met my grandfather because he died from a cut that got infected before antibiotics were invented back in 1932 but I’m guessing he had brown. But according to the study of genetics Brown eyes can be Bb or BB which means the gene for brown eyes is represented by the capital B and the lower case b is blue BB eyes are two genes of the dominate Brown eye gene. Bb is one dominate brown eye gene mixed with the blue eye gene which they carry but display the brown eyes but they can have a blue eyed child if they marry a blue eyed person or marry another person who has brown eyes but carries the blue eye gene. So what you said is wrong. You don’t know genetics as well as you think.

    Eye color may also be influenced diet. My eyes were brown until recently and are now green. Eight years ago I switched my diet to low carb. So I conclude two possibilities. Either diet changed gene expression or had direct effect on eye color.
