Yes. Certain people genetically have longer or shorter eyelashes based on their ancestry. I have Moroccan descent which traces my oldest ancestors to the Arabian peninsula. That area is a very sandy area and the people that come from that area (Arabs and other middle eastern groups) have long eyelashes as an adaptation to the blowing desert sand. Whereas people with ancestry who do not need them as an adaptation as much have seemingly shorter and sometimes no eyelashes.
