Since all our ancestors had brown eyes. I am wondering how green eyes came about ? Were they a freak accident of evolution that somehow managed to survive into successive generations ?
Are Green eyes a mutation ?

We are all freak accidents of evolution.

A freak accident of nature would be wiped out wouldnt it ?
Not if it turned out that the accident became a total success. Sounds like the plot line to 70% of all hollywood films out there.
But if it weren't true, it wouldn't be a cliche.
I have green eyes personally. Actually green eyes are one of the rarest eye colors there is which begs the question of where they came from. We associate blue with nordic and cold climates, and brown with warmer climate areas. But I don't know where green came about.

yah, but it doesn't really make me special at all. I wish though. Here, this may help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_color#Green
My dad's family was originally from Europe so that's probably where they picked it up.

Just like different hair colors.
It's different. Different gets noticed. Of course, different also gets burned at the stake.
Green eyes a mutation, not at all but this surely is...
I suspect that image is fake. In my prior scientific incarnation I was a developmental biologist. It is very rare, if not non-existent, to have perfect cyclopia without a range of accompanying craniofacial and brain abnormalities.
