Another Redhead Myth Debunked
The redhead gene is not becoming extinct. In
August 2007, many news organizations reported that redheads
would become extinct, possibly as early as 2060, due to the gene
for red hair being recessive. Although redheads may become more
rare due to mixed marriages where one parent is from a group
without the redhead gene and will result in no redheaded
children, but some redheaded grandchildren. Redheads will not
die out unless everyone who carries the gene dies or fails to
reproduce. This misconception has been around since at least
1865, and often resurfaces in American newspapers.
