"The Impact of Eye Color on Reading in Dim Light"
A study from the UK suggests that people with blue eyes may have a slight advantage in reading ability under dimly lit conditions compared to those with brown eyes. The preliminary experiment found that individuals with blue eyes could read codes depicted on a wall under significantly less light than their brown-eyed peers. The research supports the theory that loss of pigmentation in the iris was a trait selected in some populations to maximize vision in low-light environments. The study also delves into the evolutionary history of eye color and the potential reasons for the persistence of the blue eye mutation.
