    Default Map of German Light Eyes (very old)

    I made a map of Light Eyes in Germany

    It comes from Virchow's 1886 study of about 7 million children.



    Breaking lines for easier digestion:



    Total number of light eyes is 72,8%. Blue eyes are 39,4%

    Table for hair, skin and eye color combinations for Germany's larger regions of that time:



    Some color maps were already originally published along with the study, but unfortunately they aren't available on the archive.org
    The only one I was able to find is of "blond type" and "brown type":



    If somebody has other maps fro Virchow please post them here. I doubt the copyright still holds after 150 years

    Here is how the aforementioned blue eyes map that was originally published looks like. It would be nice if someone could scan it and put it online:

    That's rather a huge difference.

    Light includes grey/green as well as light hazel (eyes that have small brown/yellow mixture but are majority light.

    Fair enough. I expected higher percentage of blue eyes though. How did the percentages change as Germany lost its North-Eastern territories which are considerably lighter than Germany as a whole?

    I have no idea. I'm not aware of any studies encompassing whole Germany after WW1.

    All Germans (who survived) were expelled from eastern territories to Germany. I would expect that percentages are approximately the same, maybe slightly darker, but not a huge difference.

    The line between south and central north and Eastern Germany is fascinating, I guess this corresponds largely with other data as well, does it correspond, ie Thirty Years war, with the protestant/catholic divide too?
