Human Commercial Models' Eye Colour Shows Negative Frequency-Dependent Selection.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2016

Forti Isabela Rodrigues Nogueira, Young Robert John

Abstract excerpt

In this study we investigated the eye colour of human commercial models registered in the UK (400 female and 400 male) and Brazil (400 female and 400 male) to test the hypothesis that model eye colour frequency was the result of negative frequency-dependent selection. The eye colours of the models were classified as: blue, brown or intermediate. Chi-square analyses of data for countries separated by sex showed...
