    Do you know if there are somewhere in the book where he explains how he found this issue ? (it seems to me too mcuh perfect and coherent with his theory to be trustfully)
    And these are 1930s figures so it may have change
    Which theory? His theories were as a rule awful. But he was never the one collecting data like this.

    This is what it said at the end of the chapter:
    13. This section is almost entirely based upon the as yet unpublished series of some 10,000 adult Irish males, drawn from all counties, all religious communities, and all social and occupational levels in both Eire and Northern Ireland. This huge and amply documented series was measured by Mr. C. Wesley Dupertuis under the auspices of the Division of Anthropology of Harvard University, and with the close coöperation of both governments in Ireland. The data have been tabulated and seriated in the Harvard Anthropometric Laboratory, under the direction of Professor Earnest A. Hooton. This material will be summarized in the following pages with the express per- mission of the appropriate authorities; its present use is intended in no way to antici- pate the later publication of a detailed report by Professor Hooton and Mr. Dupertuis, which report will contain a careful racial analysis impossible here. Opinions expressed in these pages as to the racial significance of this material are my own, and do not necessarily anticipate the findings of the future authors of the detailed monograph.

    according to my personal experience, the Irish have one of the highest percentage of light eyes in Europe. Around 80%

    About France, I would say is around 50%, not including hazel eyes

    Ps: De quelle région de France êtes-vous?

    Most people have light or light mixed eyes but brown and hazel colours aren't uncommon.

    Not been; but would have thought more dark than light, and this more to the West than East.

    I'm of all British descent (Mostly Irish and English*), as are the people from where I come from, and blue eyes are the vast majority. I remember seeing a person with non light coloured eyes as a child and being very creeped out by it, actually.

    I don't understand why some people are morbidly fascinated about the demographic distribution of eye colors, and hair colors. I've meet some Irish people in my time, and dated an Irish american. I've seen plenty with blue eyes, and some with brown.

    Still I think people need to stop obsessing over such trivial things.

    These aren't 'trivial' things. They help define us as a race and people and ethnic group. They are something special to us.
