Talk:History of eye colors

This redirect is part of WikiProject Evolutionary biology, an attempt at building a useful set of articles on evolutionary biology and its associated subfields such as population genetics, quantitative genetics, molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and evolutionary developmental biology. It is distinct from the WikiProject Tree of Life in that it attempts to cover patterns, process and theory rather than systematics and taxonomy.

Wow, this article definitely needs references... and what a terrible intro! EunuchOmerta 00:08, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No kidding. Unfortunately I know nothing on the topic. Titanium Dragon 01:21, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Me neither... I'm going to try and change the style of the writing in it so that it's at least a little bit encyclopedic. EunuchOmerta 17:09, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article name

Shouldn't this page be named "History of eye colors" instead?--68.0.133.212 04:18, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes; done. EunuchOmerta 16:58, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Combine?

This would be better combined with Eye Color, as a short section, as all the missing information from this stub is there. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nstanosheck (talk • contribs) 15:47, 2 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Peter Frost theory

Really, this article is one-liners about eye colors, and a lengthy description of some "Peter Frost" theory. It does not match the topic at all, focusing on a single theory at a single point in history. Which seems to focus on... hair color???

Is this theory something that is accepted by the scientific community at large? I keep feeling like I'm reading some blatant sexism/racism here: "Blondes are more beautiful!". Wrapped into a scientific theory, sure, but still feeling a little close to suggesting that aryans are somehow better.

BTW: I'm blond, so I guess I should be flattered. Still, this smells of bollocks.

BTW2: Searching for the theory to read it returns blatant racism in early hits.

It seems like this article contains little except a a summary of a controversial theory. I vote for deleting it.

I have requested attention from an expert for now. If it doesn't improve for a while, I will nominate for deletion. nadav (talk) 15:30, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. This article sucks. 75.15.230.195 22:20, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just added Peter Frost's theory because it is actual, so it would be relevant. And even in the blonde article there is a part dedicated to his theory (not that I agree with it; pretty much the contrary). --SangeYasha 06:28, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article

I think Wikipedia must have an article bearing this name, because I think no one will not ever explain the eyes history, otherwise.
