Question:

Why do a lot of Pakistani people and other Asians have green eyes??

Is there history involved? For example - European settlors is these Asian sub contanants??I also saw that a lot Egyptian guys have coloured eyes? How is that? I thought they would have darker eyes but was surprised to see that a lot of them don't.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Most Middle-Easterners and North Africans who have green eyes and other un-Asian characteristics are of Greek descent (not British descent!) from when Alexander the Great conquered large parts of that area of the world. Many are also of Iranian descent.
