Starting in Europe thousands of years ago, ginger hair is a result of a genetic mutation (Ginger didn’t just “exist”), and nowadays only about 2% of the population have naturally ginger, or red, hair.
Scientist-types think that gingers could be extinct in as little as 100 years. What is causing the problem is not because ginger people are ugly (Hey, I’m a big fan of red heads myself), but because of global breeding, something which has significantly increased within the past 60 years (since commercial flight). Ginger is a weaker (recessive?) gene, meaning that other hair colours often decide a baby’s outcome.
40% of Scots carry the gene, and 13% are ginger.
Wales, what do you think will happen to Scotland?
Is his hair going to change color like mine did when we were really little? Is he going to remain a ginger git?
