9: 23 Why did that sound like Zack D films
Blue eyes let more light in vs brown eyes so people with blue eyes can see better in lower light conditions. Northern Europe gets far less sunlight than more southern latitudes of Mediterranean Europe and Africa which is why blue eyes were an advantage to those living there and are now very common in those areas. Less sunlight also reduces the need for as much melanin to protect the eyes.
Fun fact: what we call blue eyes is actually the lack of color. They appear blue in the same way the ocean or the sky appears blue and can change shades depending on the environment and light levels, sometimes even appearing grey.

Hello Mr.Osborn
About 14:00 I was on a field trip to a corn maze my class broke in groups and she wasn’t in my group but
And I had a classmate with natural bright red hair
And on the field trip we passed another schools class and they had a girl that looked EXACTLY like her
but with less thick and less curly hair that was dyed purple
