Is it true there won't be any red-heads in 100 years?

Question

I heard this, but there's quite a few gingers around..

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

I heard that the number of natural red heads in the world is decreasing, but there will always be red heads. In a hundred years, there will not be very many around, but there still will be some.
Hope this answers your question!

Answer 3

The gene for red hair is not dominant which mean that a child needs to inherit red hair genes from both parents to actually have red hair - at least this is what I learnt in school, maybe a biologist can expand on this.... So unless you get redheads who only mate with other redheads, eventually they will disappear.

But dont worry, there is alway hair dye!

Answer 4

Not at all. Just because something is a recessive gene doesn't mean it won't be expressed. Minor mutations and codominance can also give rise to red hair, among other things.

Answer 5

No it's not true. Just like it's not true that most Irish have red hair. Go to Ireland and walk around with your eyes open.

Answer 6

I didn't hear that but I heard natural blondes will be gone in 100 years.

Answer 7

no, if that were true then people with blue eyes and readheads would have "died out" a long time ago... or may have never come to be in the first place.

if two readheads have children their children will all be redheads... so as long as there's the red love.... no problems

Answer 8

No, because global warming will heat up all the blondes and turn them into red-heads. lol.

Answer 9

no red heads have been around for thousands of years, they aint goin anywhere fast

Answer 10

Some say 200, or is that blondies. But yes.

Answer 11

i have heard that too, it's becoming more scarce, that would suck, luckily i saw a new born baby with lovely red hair 2 days ago he was beuatiful
