Nong Yousui

Nong Yousui is a Chinese child with abnormal eyes for his ethnicity, as they are blue. The child first gained public attention in 2009 with a news report covering claims that the child can see in the dark. That his eyes are like those of a cat. The news report featured a number of personal accounts though the film crew was unable to veryfi most of these claims, and no scientific party has analysed the boys condition. It is theorized that if he does have night vision, that as the locals states his eyes may be like that of a cats, having a layer of tapetum lucidum. Again, no scientific analyse has been conducted to confirm his condition. The closest involved placing the child in complete darkness, and having him answer a series of questions written on a piece of paper, he responded to all of the questions, including the filling in the blanks. Evolutionary Biologist daught his claim stating that such a mutation would have to develope over several generation, and could not thus, spontaniously appear. [1] Members of the medical community however site that the presence of tapetum lucidum has been documented in small levels inside the human eye, and thus are more open to the idea that Nong may have simply been born with an undocumented condition in which such levels are higher. Blue eyes have been reported in other members of the chinese population, though only in the village of Liqian, or those of mixed ancestory. [2]
