As a guy that likes redheaded women, its with great sorrow that I announce that they are going extinct. That's what National Geographic said in 2007. Red hair is a recessive gene, meaning that two red haired parents have a much better chance of having a ginger baby than a redhead paired with a non ginger.
The extinction is due to redheads not being geographically isolated, as people have been in the past. As people move around the world, gingers get intermingled with non-gingers, making fewer red headed babies. The best breeding ground for gingers is Scotland, which has a 13% redhead population, and 40% of people carrying the gene. Experts say that the extinction will happen between 2060 and one hundred years from now.
Red on the head, fire in the bed. If you want to find out if this is true first hand, better act fast.
