Blue eyes = one common ancestor?
Research suggests that all blue-eyed individuals can trace their ancestry back to a single person who lived about 6,000-10,000 years ago. A genetic mutation likely caused this shared trait, making blue eyes a rare genetic connection across the globe.

Elusive shipwreck found in Lake Michigan over 100 years after sinking
A “ghost ship” that sank in Lake Michigan nearly 140 years ago and eluded several search efforts over the past five decades has been found, according to researchers with the Wisconsin Underwater Archeology Association.
The wooden schooner got caught in a storm in the dead of night and went down in September 1886. In the weeks after, a lighthouse keeper reported the ship’s masts breaking the lake surface, and fishermen caught pieces of the vessel in their nets. Still, wreck hunters were unable to track down the ship’s location — until now.
Earlier this year, a team of researchers with the Wisconsin Underwater Archeology Association and Wisconsin Historical Society located the shipwreck off the coastal town of Baileys Harbor, Wisconsin, the association announced on Sunday.
