What is the magic of a green-eyed look? In its strength and depth: the spectacular shell of the eyes, filled with rare melanin, seems to pierce through, and the energy attracts and fascinates. It is not for nothing that people with green eyes are believed to be born hypnotists.
Middle Ages
There are three historical areas on earth where people with the green eye gene settled.
First - the Ancient East. Especially the states of Urartu and the Khanate of Khiva. From here the gene spread among the peoples of the Caucasus. Currently, in its original form, it is preserved to a greater extent among the Chechens, since they have always tried to avoid mixed marriages with other nations, and among the Armenians living in high mountain villages.
In second place is the territory of modern Poland and Western Ukraine from where the gene was transmitted to the Slavs, Germans and Baltic peoples. However, its spread was greatly weakened Catholic Church during the period of the Inquisition.
In the Middle Ages, almost all owners - and especially female owners - of green eyes were doomed to torture and the fire. Their owners might not even have had red hair, which was equally disliked by the Inquisition. In those cruel times, for any Jesuit, having green eyes was irrefutable evidence witchcraft.
Who knows, maybe the Jesuits weren’t so wrong after all? After all, as a rule, green eyes, like cats, in which, according to legend, they turn into the full moon and special witch days, can bewitch you without love spells or potions - with just one glance.
Often unstable male individuals, no matter who they are, even the Pope himself, are ready to throw themselves into such eyes like into a pool headlong. However, what can we say - women’s hearts are not stone either: the gaze of a green-eyed man can deprive many of their stamina and will to resist.
It is characteristic that according to medieval beliefs it was believed that those with green eyes could not cast the evil eye. However, if they curse, then it is their curse that has a special power of influence on the entire family up to the seventh generation. That is why, when green-eyed witches were sent to the fire of damp wood, a gag made of tow was often forced into their mouths.
The third center of gene distribution is located in Russia - in Transbaikalia. And also in northern Mongolia. The original inhabitants of these lands still have blue, green and yellow-green eye colors. By the way, the great conqueror Genghis Khan, according to contemporaries, “had eyes” that changed color from blue to dark green. That is why his family was called “Borjigin”, green-eyed.
Character and modernity
Centuries have passed, the medieval Inquisition has done its dirty deed, and now on the European territory of the globe it is not at all easy to meet owners of green eyes. And yet they meet. And when they meet, this is where you have to wait for a catch. The fact is that by nature, green-eyed people are extremely creative people. And not just creative, but unpredictably creative and persistent, always achieving their goals.
For example, among the street artists who are fundamentally hidden from the general public and known only in their narrow circle, as well as among the roofers - risk-taking and artistically gifted people - there are many individuals with a green-eyed view of the world.
These people strive for fame and popularity: movie and show business stars. And fate seems to reward them for something that is known only higher powers.
Charlize Theron and Angelina Jolie, Rihanna and Evangeline Lily, Tilda Swinton and Catherine Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, Jon Hamm and Clive Owen, Bruce Willis and Joaquin Phoenix - all of them are people with difficult characters: purposeful, unpredictable, diverse and fascinating, like a cat seductive and magically beautiful.
The eyes are directly related to inner world human beings, and it’s not for nothing that they are called the mirror of the soul. Our eyes are the windows through which we contemplate this beautiful world, the wonders of the universe and the beauty of nature. For many years, observations have been made regarding the relationship between human personality and eye color. Green eyes, which only 2% of the world's population have, are considered unique and beautiful.
Why are eyes green?
Eye color greatly depends on the amount of pigment on the surface of the iris and the scattering of light inside the eye. Melanin influences the shade. It is a brown pigment that is also responsible for skin and hair color.
With an average amount of melanin in top layer irises yellow, reflected from the outer layer, is mixed with blue light, which reflects inner layer iris. As a result, a green color of the iris is formed. The higher the concentration of melanin in the iris, the darker the eye color.
Eyes are not only a mirror of the soul, but also a kind of decoration. People with green eyes are fraught with magical mystery and mystery, and therefore have always been considered special (they were once even considered sorcerers and witches). Today, green eyes are the rarest in the world. If you are interested in how many people with green eyes live on the planet, the answer is about 2 percent. Why so few? First of all, due to the medieval Inquisition, which mercilessly destroyed their owners. Women with eyes of a unique emerald color were called witches and persecuted in every possible way, and in those days such an accusation was a good reason for being burned at the stake.
Historians claim that about 90 percent of the women burned at that time were young and without children. Moreover, the superstitious men of that time tried their best to avoid contact with green-eyed ladies, who became fewer and fewer over the years. Hence the current rarity of green - a consequence of the acts of the inquisitors and medieval superstitions.
Note! Eyes are green in people whose body produces a small amount of melanin (this is the pigment that is responsible for the color and color saturation of the iris).
The rarest eye colors
First, let's take a look at which iris colors are considered the rarest. Unusual ones make the owner’s appearance memorable and attract the attention of others.
| Name, photo | Short description |
|---|---|
| Previously, it was believed that fantastic purple eyes could only be obtained with the help of colored contact lenses, but recently information has appeared that some residents of North Kashmir were endowed with this color by nature itself (not confirmed). Some newborns have a lilac/violet tint to their eyes, but this disappears over time. |
| Are a consequence of the lack of melanin - blood vessels are translucent, and therefore the eyes are the color of blood. Such an extraordinary color is extremely rare even in albinos, that is, carriers of the gene. They usually have either brown or Blue eyes. |
| Often found among Germans, Irish, and Turks. The majority of gene carriers are women. As noted earlier, this rarity is due to the activity of medieval inquisitors. |
| Happens different shades, the rarest of which is yellowish-gold (“wolf eyes”). A nutty tint may also occur. This is the color of eyes that are often given to werewolves and vampires. |
| A brown shade is observed when there is a very large amount of melanin in the body - in in this case the pigment absorbs almost all rays of light. This is why the eyes resemble small coals. Usually they see with black eyes the world representatives of the Negroid race. |

The rarity of green eyes
As noted earlier, such rarity is a legacy of the Middle Ages, when the Holy Inquisition was an extremely influential institution. As a result, green eyes were practically forced out of the European phenotype. And due to the fact that pigmentation is hereditary, the chance of green eyes has decreased many times over.
On a note! Over time, of course, the situation has improved somewhat, but in its “pure” form, that is, the shade of green grass, eyes are still very rare. Transitional shades predominate - light green, for example, or brown-green.
It is also worth mentioning the uneven distribution of green color. There is even a theory according to which green eyes are directly related to the gene for red hair.
Characteristics of people with green eyes
Does eye color affect a person's character?
It is believed that green-eyed people are mostly suspicious and vulnerable. They may look calm, but in reality inside them there is a true hurricane of emotions and feelings. People with green eyes are not used to showing others their state of mind. At the same time, they are good psychologists - they will always listen, reassure, and know how to keep secrets. There are many green-eyed people creative personalities- artists, painters, writers.
Does this affect your health?
A deficiency of the melanin pigment can provoke various kinds of eye pathologies and diseases. In addition, problems may arise with the digestive or nervous system. Changes in hormonal levels are often observed, caused by insufficient production of melanocytes. Green-eyed people often change their mood, which others, as we have already found out, may not even be aware of.
About the personal lives of people with emerald eyes
Such people feel their partners perfectly, sometimes even disappear into them, so to speak. They know how to love and care, they are ready to go through any difficulties and trials for the sake of a strong family, without expecting anything from their partner. similar actions. In short, these are good spouses, family men, and loving parents.
Friendship and green eyes
People with emerald eyes are always ready to help and support, even if they have to sacrifice something for this. They give more than they take, they rejoice for their friends with all their hearts. However, in friendship they are extremely demanding, they need to be treated the same way they treat others. That is why betrayal for such people is a terrible blow, which they will most likely never forgive. This means the friendship will end.
How many people on the planet have green eyes?
As we already mentioned at the beginning of the article, such a rare iris color is found in only 2 percent of the world's population. This phenomenon is especially rare among residents of the Middle East, South America, Asia. As for the most “green-eyed” countries, these include Iceland (about 35 percent) and Turkey (up to 20 percent of the total population). In addition, green eyes can be found among residents of Scotland, Germany and other northern European countries.
On a note! Among Russians, emerald eyes are very rare. Therefore, if you meet a green-eyed passerby somewhere, you can consider this a good omen.
A few words about heterochromia
Violation of eye color deserves special attention. For those who don’t know, heterochromia refers to the phenomenon when a person’s eyes different color. This is described in more detail in our article about, and therefore we will keep it brief. According to statistics, this phenomenon is even less common than “green eyes” (only in 1 percent of the planet’s population). Note that people with eyes of different colors were also associated with evil, which is easily explained by a banal fear of everything inexplicable.
Important! Scientists are still debating which eye color is the rarest. Some consider it a green shade, others insist on the existence of people with violet eyes. Also, color effects cannot be excluded when varying degrees illumination In any case, everyone has their own unique iris color. Remember this!
Sometimes it happens that the color of a person’s eyes changes as quickly as the color of a chameleon. The only difference is that chameleons do this intuitively and consciously, in order to hide and merge with environment. This is inherent in their nature. But in humans, this is due to other reasons hidden in the characteristics of the body. The nature of the appearance of such a phenomenon has not yet been studied
