After showing these pictures to a group of 62 people, they asked them to judge the photographs for perceived dominance and attractiveness on a scale from 1 to 10. The first conclusion was that brown-eyed people were perceived as more dominant. After that they changed the eye colour in the pictures using photo-editing software. When they repeated the experiment with another group of people, the original dominance ratings remained the same. So, although, the eye colour was a measurable factor for the perceived dominance in the first round, it suddenly wasn&#8217;t in the second round.<\/p>\n<p>So is there a genetic link between iris colour and other charateristic marks in peoples faces, or is it a social link?
