Blue eyes show up in one individual and 10,000 years later, a significant (if relatively small) percentage of the population is “infected” with the new trait.

One thing I don’t get, though. If blue eyes are recessive, how could they have ever spread?

Muhammed is a good example of this. Most Europeans can, with some basis, argue that they are decended from Muhammed.
