Why is this a bad thing? It's natural selection. There are groups of people that have met an unnatural, man-made end... like the original Tasmanians. Who cares about a freaking hair color becoming extinct by NATURE when there are ethnic groups that have been wiped out by MAN???

Yikes, angry much? I do not wish to invalidate your concerns (genocide is not to be taken lightly for sure), but I question this particular forum to do it in. Far as I can tell this article in only meant to be informative. It doesn't cry for any action to be taken. There is no wailing tone of urgency, or mourning at the possible impending loss of redheads.

As the mother of a red haired child, I for one appreciate the information presented here, if for no other reason than that it is interesting, at the very least to me.

On a side note, and speaking of unnatural selection...I hope you are as adamant about dogs with skin 3 times too big, and cats with no hair, or that even glow in the dark.

That is so sad! I 'm a red head also.

I don't want to wreck your population but maybe humans can overcome it and produce redhed children. And the generation, after generation. for a long time.
