Thank you all for your input. I have read what you all have said, but here is one more question that needs answering. In black society, and I talk about those in the past tense, No accurate data to where the first case began with blue eyes, but there is African photographic evidence to suggest mother natures genetic mood swings, are accurate. Because of evolution itself, ( brown eyes) it would suggest more study is needed. But the fact remains! The side effect did start in the black side of the living beings. Albino's have been recorded in black societies and this substantiates my theory, and the big question of where is the missing link, too our known existence. But there is a lot more theories to this, and I would like to name one! ATLANTIS! Or more the question, out side help! Yes! I seem to be always heading in the realm's of the off planet thinking. I try to stay away from the hypothetical but it seems we are moving forward at a very fast rate. Sorry for putting that in, it's there for thinking purposes only. DNA or outside help! I still cant put my finger on it.
As you can see, I love to throw in the odd curve ball.

At a party yesterday I raised the issue of blue eyes for general discussion. The consensus was that the northern hemisphere has longer periods of time covered in snow and that blue eyes afford greater protection against snow glare than brown, so that is why the Vikings et al experienced natural selection for blue eyes - they could see their enemies better and at longer ranges thus had a greater chance for survival than a Viking with brown eyes.

Don't know if there is any substantiation to this but its an interesting comment.

People with red hair often process certain minerals poorly in their diet, particularly zinc. This I do know for a fact.

One theory that I came across was that the aboriginal inhabitants of northern Europe had blue eyes. When the Indo-Europeans moved into the continent, some interbred with these people and became predominantly the Germanic branch. Other offshoots appeared in Celtic, Slavic and Italic branches.

"I myself have blue eyes, and all of my children, also have blue eyes." And lets not forget the love of my life, perfect in every way. But my mother has brown eyes, and to my knowledge, the brown gene should take first place.
Just a little hint! Screen your self and your partner, before you breed. Sorry about that, now back to the point. The question of where blue eyed people began will maybe always remains a mystery, But I still think there is a bigger picture to why we are here. ( meaning, on universal terms). As some of you may know, the nearest blue_green planet is nearly three hundred light years, compared to our pathetic 40 thousand, well you know what I am getting at. Ask your self this! Why have we evolved in this place that we have? Why! are we the only freak of life. Look! If you can put your mind around of how big the univers is, can you say we are still alone?.
