that is not true my friends grandmother is more than half italin and has light brown hair and pale skin and one of my bffs is 50 percent italin and has pale skin blonde hair and blue eyes

New answerer here: this all has to do with genetics and the migration of humans and their genes. I find it very interesting. The genes for dark hair, eyes and complections are shared with many other areas of the mediterranean, like Greece, as well as parts of Africa and Israel, Egypt, etc. I'm not a geneticist, but from my reading, it appears that darker skin and hair/eye colors are common in warmer climates. Now, northern Italians are often fairer, and you can see from a map that that part of Italy is below Switzerland, which is near Germany, etc. Many of those people exhibit fair skin, lighter hair and eyes, etc. Fascinating!

Are ethnic Italians with black hair and brown eyes considered to be caucasian?

Yes, of course Italians are western Europeans and are considered white (caucasian), even the swarthy ones. Historically many Italians who came to the United States were considered "off-white" or swarthy and often discriminated for their Catholic faith as well. However, first of all, not all Italians are dark haired, dark eyes. In fact, around half of all Italian in Italy according to a survey by Cavalli-Sforza has light eyes (blue, green, hazel) and that the majority of Italians (85%) do NOT have Black hair, but rather brown, and a blonde minority (10%).


Do Italians have green eyes?

Some do, yes. Most Italians have brown eyes, though. Dark hair, eyes, and eye brows all come with the territory. Along with that comes large hips and thighs, full lips, easily tanning skin and usually (but not always) olive toned skin. I hope this helped you.

Can 2 people with hazel eyes brown hair have a blonde hair blue eyed baby?

Yes, as eye color includes family history too, though your method may work coincidentally or instead of what I said! Yes they can.. Both my parents have black hair and dark brown eyes.. and i have light blonde hair and blue eyes..!! I mean... yes. My parents have green eyes, and blonde hair, yet I have DARK, DARK brown hair and grey eyes! Pretty sure, my mum has red hair with brown eyes, dad green eyes with brown hair. I however have blonde hair and grey eyes!! And my siblings all vary too. My parents have brown eyes and black hair while I have green eyes and blonde hair, although I have eight siblings all with black hair and brown eyes so it's not really common.
