Re: good news!

In August 2007, many news organizations reported that redheads or
"gingers," as our British and Australian friends call them, would
eventually become extinct. Other news outlets and blogs picked up the
story, citing the "Oxford Hair Foundation" or "genetic scientists" who
claimed that there would be no more redheads by as early as 2060
[source: The Courier Mail]. It turns out that all those people were
wrong. Redheads are here to stay and should be around well beyond
2060.
The story of redhead extinction has gone around the Internet before,
most recently in 2005, with news articles again citing the Oxford Hair
Foundation as a source. These articles work on the mistaken assumption
that recessive genes -- like the one for red hair -- can "die out."
Recessive genes can become rare but don't disappear completely unless
everyone carrying that gene dies or fails to reproduce. So while red
hair may remain rare, enough people carry the gene that, barring
global catastrophe, redheads should continue to appear for some time.
