Ever met someone with purple eyes before? These people are believed to be Alexandria's genesis.I didn't, but heard of it from time to time. I did do some research about it and found out that this genetic mutation is actually quite interesting, and shocking at the same time. Here are some of the characterists of it:

*Clear, silver-like purple eyes (after 1st birthday; deepen in color until onset of puberty)
*No facial or body hair growth beyond what was already there at birth
*Dark brown or black hair
*Shimmering white skin that resist tanning and burning
*Lack of menstruation cycle (in women)
*Highly evolved immune system (has been known to resist every disease
known to man so far)
*Appear 5-20 years younger (after the age of 21, the aging process slows down greatly; it stops completely between the ages of 40-50)
*Long life span (ranges from 130-170 years)
*Perfect vision
*Never overweight (their metabolism prevents the gaining of too much fat [a.k.a., partial lipodystophy])

But the most interesting thing about them is that these humans were thought to have come from Egypt after "a mysterious light flashed in the sky during a moonless night thousands of years ago." The purple-eyed humans also had very fair skin, and were thought to be spirits because of their appearance. The so-called "spirit people" eventually went north and vanished without a trace.

So could this mutation come from somewhere else besides Earth?

Wow, that's pretty interesting, I had no idea people could actually be purple eyed (except for movies, series, anime, etc, etc) And I don't think they'd have to be aliens or so, maybe they're just like those one in a zillion that are good at everything (and I mean everything), people who are smart beyond mesure, and so and so, you know, just really rare, and thus, they become myths, legends and all of that, 'cause it's hard to think it's true when only a handfull have actually seen them (and they're not helping, moving to the most barren, inhabitable part of the planet)

I dunno.. sounds cool but hard to believe (I highly doubt it's true). Looking at the characteristics these people have, definitely not normal and sounds too idealistic.

Remember... don't believe everything you read over the internet. At the very least, if the source has been peer reviewed and is from a legit and credible source/journal (i.e. Journal American Chemical Society, PNAS) OR at the very least Google Scholar.

But hey... if you're having fun, why not eh?

Look, this is the first time I've heard about this, but based on your feature list my common sense tells me you believe evetything you see/hear.

*Lack of menstruation cycle (in women)

If this was true a pure breeding (i.e. homozygous for the supposed traits) is merely "impossible" by means of sexual reproduction to inbreed another of this "superguys" and if their genes are somehow within the genetic pool of the population of X country then: since they haven't been seen previously I assume they are recessive alleles thus by random drift and given that the people who might have had them wouldn't have any advantage unless they were homozygous the gene would be already depleted from the gene pool of such population.

Wow, that would be so cool. It would be nice if you meet someone who's never been sick and has purple eyes. I've always read so many myths, legends, etc. but this one is different in its own way.

Are you sure that this link is reliable and that it does not publish wrong information??
I mean the informatiopn that I found on this topic only appears on forums and non scientific website... so I don't trust it...

Cool, wouldnt mind being with purple eyes with pefect sight and deseasless :P

Sounds like a big bs. But, maybe...just maybe...they actually exists. I mean, if our Mitocondria DNA can be linked to a woman in Africa, than the existence of another strand of DNA non existing now is possible. I think in sometimes in the past, a couple of thousands years ago, the human is actually one, and at some point it divided into a complex structure. At some point in the future (or near) those qualities the original DNA has may appear, or THE original DNA may appear again someday. That's why I always sure that humans of the past have greater physical and mind capabilities than we are now.

I have heard of very rare cases of people who had violet colored eyes. The rest however, sounds more like science fiction than truth to me. A lot of it sounds more like Rei Ayanami's genetic programming than anything else.

As it turns out, in some of these people, the mutation is actually causing the digestive system to produce no waste.

Now that is just impossible. . .

f this was true a pure breeding (i.e. homozygous for the supposed traits) is merely "impossible" by means of sexual reproduction to inbreed another of this "superguys" and if their genes are somehow within the genetic pool of the population of X country then: since they haven't been seen previously I assume they are recessive alleles thus by random drift and given that the people who might have had them wouldn't have any advantage unless they were homozygous the gene would be already depleted from the gene pool of such population.

In English please...lol.

Well it would be great if it where true but i dont think its true it sounds to SF + they would have been on the news or the newspaper or something sorry dont belive it

Damn. I.. don't know what to say! I'm just awed by your post. I mean, wow, look at it! No aging, no overweight, perfect vision, PURPLED eyes, skins that resists tanning and whatever. And most importantly, LONGER LIFE SPAN. Damn, that's hella awesome. I wish I'm one of them XD

Haha, did you look any closer at that link? fanfic/purple_eyes.html">http://www.outpost-daria.com/ fanfic/purple_eyes.html
That "fanfic" squeezed in there should be enough to make anyone supsicious.

That being said, it would be sooo cool if it was actually true. Why aren't there cool things like that in our world?! Seems all the fascinating ideas are real only in books or movies.. Sadly.

Though I think another reason we rarely think any phenomenon is cool or special is because we always do so much research on everything. I mean, sure it's fun to learn about new things, but do we REALLY wanna know how everything works? There wouldn't be any mysteries left then, if we knew everything there was to know about our world.

That Alexandria's Genesis thing sounds cool. I love purple eyes, and all the other symptoms like not getting sick etc seem awesome too...

I've seen people on tv with purple eyes, but that might just be contacts...

I'd say it's just something made up by some dude who thought it'd be cool to be one of those people.
