Scientists have a map of the eye colour of people in Britain. They out that the most common colour is blue. The scientists say that thousands of years ago, all British people's eyes brown. The researchers found that 48 per cent of British people blue eyes, 30 per cent of people have green eyes and 22 per cent have brown. The area around Edinburgh in Scotland the place where most people had blue eyes. Over half (57 per cent) of those in and around Edinburgh have blue eyes. The southwest of England the fewest blue-eyed people. Just 35 per cent of people there blue eyed. The scientists say they do not why some regions of Britain a lot of blue-eyed people.

This people with blue eyes are more successful at a partner and having children with blue eyes. He blue eyes to the tail of a peacock, a more colourful tail will get a peacock more mates.
