Best Answer

Because they have at least one ancestor with blue eyes. The first person with blue eyes had a genetic mutation, and that mutation was passed on.

EXAMPLE: My fifth grade teacher had bright, sparkling blue eyes. Her granddaughter did, too. Neither of her granddaughter's parents had blue eyes, and her son-in-law's family didn't have blue eyes, as far as anyone knew.

because blue eyes have the least pigment

Melanin is a pigment that darkens the eyes, hair, and skin. When babies are born, they don’t have melanin in their irises yet. However, they develop more melanin in their first weeks and months of life. This is why you’ll see the blue eyes change.

It's something to do with Melanin

Melanin is a brown pigment that puts colour into your hair, eyes, and skin. At the time babies are born, melanin hasn't yet been "deposited" in the eyes' iris. So, they appear blue.

Ginger hair is produced by the Melanin being rusty. Don't take offence, I have rusty hair to.

everybody is born with blue eyes. so... YES

Are you sure EVERYONE is born with blue eyes???

I think you are wrong, and stuck in the western world, my friend. Have you considered how babies in the East and African countries are born? Do you assume babies in Shanghai and Ethiopia also have blue eyes when they're born.

China is home to over 30% of the world's population - and they ALL have black/brown eyes.

You inherit your eye color from your parents, but no matter what the color is now, it may have been blue when you were born.

Why do you have blue eyes when you're born?

Everyone has blue eyes when they are born. Its just your natural color when you are born. Then when you get a little bit older, your eyes either change color like brown, hazel, green, Green-blue. Your eyes change color because of genes. And traits. But if your eyes were meant to stay blue from genes then your eyes are blue. Most people have brown eyes. Also blue too. Its not a very good chance you will get green-blue eyes.
