And there are no African pure bloods (not white immigrants) who have or have ever had blue eyes.
Wrong. Obviously they came from somewhere. There weren’t two random Homo sapiens popping up in completely different parts of the world. Ever notice how two dark parents can produce a lighter skinned child, but two light skinned parents don’t produce darker children? Ever heard of alleles, baw?

As of a couple months back, scientists claim to have traced to blue-eyed trait to a single ancestor in Northern Europe. It was a genetic mutation that popped up about 6,000 to 8,000 years ago according to their findings.

It actually explains a lot. And haven’t they recently found a being that predates Lucy in the Balkans somewhere that shoots holes in the out of Africa theory?

there are theories about this. we have three distinct groups (caucasoids, mongoloids, and negroids)
also there are theories that neanderthal-human breeding created caucasoids
this information isn't that ground-breaking anyway. "white people" didn't come into Europe until like 8,000 years ago

Now, a new study from the same team drills down further into that remarkable data to search for genes that were under strong natural selection—including traits so favorable that they spread rapidly throughout Europe in the past 8000 years.
quote:
When it comes to skin color, the team found a patchwork of evolution in different places, and three separate genes that produce light skin, telling a complex story for how European’s skin evolved to be much lighter during the past 8000 years. The modern humans who came out of Africa to originally settle Europe about 40,000 years are presumed to have had dark skin, which is advantageous in sunny latitudes. And the new data confirm that about 8500 years ago, early hunter-gatherers in Spain, Luxembourg, and Hungary also had darker skin: They lacked versions of two genes—SLC24A5 and SLC45A2—that lead to depigmentation and, therefore, pale skin in Europeans today.
quote:
But in the far north—where low light levels would favor pale skin—the team found a different picture in hunter-gatherers: Seven people from the 7700-year-old Motala archaeological site in southern Sweden had both light skin gene variants, SLC24A5 and SLC45A2. They also had a third gene, HERC2/OCA2, which causes blue eyes and may also contribute to light skin and blond hair. Thus ancient hunter-gatherers of the far north were already pale and blue-eyed, but those of central and southern Europe had darker skin.
Then, the first farmers from the Near East arrived in Europe; they carried both genes for light skin. As they interbred with the indigenous hunter-gatherers, one of their light-skin genes swept through Europe, so that central and southern Europeans also began to have lighter skin. The other gene variant, SLC45A2, was at low levels until about 5800 years ago when it swept up to high frequency.
