The boy is a one of twin brothers; strangely, his twin brother has dark brown eyes, but he has bright blue eyes.(click to see the larger picture)
A recent Danish science study suggest blue-eyed humans have a single, common ancestor, perhaps this Tibetan boy and the Geisha in Japan are relatives?
The origin of Tibetan people is a subject of hard study. Some suggest that the majority of Tibetan gene pool may have diverged from the Han around 3,000 years ago. However, there are evidences of much earlier human inhabitation of Tibet. The distribution of Haplogroup D-M174 is found among all the populations of Central Asia and Northeast Asia south of Russian border, although generally at a low frequency of 2% or less. A dramatic spike in the frequency of D-M174 occurs as one approach the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau of western China. D-M174 is also found at high frequencies in Japanese people but it fades into low frequencies in the Han populated Mainland

ReplyDeleteHere is my comment :His eye colour is very amazing. About Tibatans I think they have quite a high... diversity in gene pool. Not only with those Russian but in the ancient time they also mixed with Persian and Greek. That happened around the time when Alexander the great invaded to Asia and India which create Indo-Euro type. We can see those in Northern part of India.
