Human eyeballs may have grown larger as populations migrated farther and farther from the equator, an eye-socket analysis shows

People who live farther from the equator have larger eye sockets than their tropical counterparts, a new study finds. And as people inhabited higher and higher latitudes, eye socket size grew along with the northerly or southerly extent of their migrations.

“It’s never been shown before that latitude and vision are related in this way in humans,” says Robert Barton, an evolutionary anthropologist from Durham University in England, who was not involved in the research.

WHOA DAT IS CRAZY.

So it’s a fact then - Norwegians are cuter & have bigger eyes than us Brits… ;-D
