when solved its a 25% chance of BB; 50% chance of Bbl; and 25% chance of bb;

meaning that there is still hope for use blue eyed peoples...

and also, it has to do with genetic mutations, and things of the sort... eventually, like WAY down the road, there will only be one race of person.. no more whites, blacks, asains, indians, we will all become one race eventually... but never will we all look the same.. there are just too many elements that go into to physical features of people to get us all to look like identicals

BB = brown Bb = brown bb = blue

a parent of bb with blue eyes with a parent of brown eyes, BB and ALL of their children will have BROWN eyes.

parent Bb with Bb = 3/4th of their kids have brown

BB with Bb = all brown

bb with bb(Very rare, would have to have been pure blue-eyed parents since almost as long ago as cavemen)

and you can do this with any traits, hair color, everything down to the rate at which your fingernails grow.

this is what i mean. Less and less variation as people "mate' more.

the gene for blue eyes in humans will be worth a lot of money in the future, as will many other recessive traits that will die with time.
