Italian scientists discovered the remains of an Ice Age child who lived about 17,000 years ago in a cave in the south of the country. The most amazing discovery was that this baby had blue eyes.
Genetic analysis showed that the child, in addition to blue eyes, had dark skin and curly dark brown hair. Despite his young age, he suffered from a serious genetic heart disease, which probably caused his early death.
The researchers also found out that the child had a difficult birth and experienced several stressful situations during her life. Her mother was most likely malnourished during pregnancy and subjected to significant physical exertion.
Interestingly, genetic analysis showed a close relationship between the child’s parents, which suggests that they may have been related. This phenomenon was quite common in those days, but occurs less often in later periods.
The discovery of the remains of a child with blue eyes allows scientists to better understand how people’s eye color has changed throughout history and what genetic factors have influenced it. In addition, this study provides valuable information about the life and health of people during the Ice Age.
