The Demise of Redheads

Dr. Desmond J. Tobin of the Department of Biomedical Sciences at University of Bradford in England has recently completed research which indicates that naturally red-haired people will no longer be born in 100 years. Tobin studied the genetics of hair coloration in relation to the intermingling of populations and concluded that future generations of offspring will have a decreasing probability of possessing the necessary genes to be natural redheads. It's estimated that the same will happen to blondes but at a much slower rate since there are many more blonde people.

This is distressing news. From the standpoint of this writer, a benchmark of ultimate beauty, the red-haired woman, will become extinct. Fortunately, it won't be in my lifetime. Unfortunately, it will be in someone's lifetime.
