These proto-caucasoids had light skin, brown eyes, and dark hair. They mixed, to some extant, with the locals they displaced, and in about 6000 BC, shortly after this new population settled into this unique high latitude region, blue eyes rapidly overtook the north. So the origin of blue eyes is actually a foreign people (but our ancestors) settling into a new land, and adapting to the latitude.
