robomatic, I imagine they deduced that he had blue eyes from examining his DNA. But I'm intrigued too, because I always thought the gene for blue eyes was recessive, and brown ayes dominant. If this chap migrated across from North Africa, with his dark skin and curly hair, presumably he'd have had brown eyes? Even if he'd interbred with some blue-eyed race, the brown eyes would have been inherited, not the blue.
