I didn't know red hair only occurs in 2% of the population!
Wow, really i did not realize that information either? What color is your hair? Mine is brown
Mine is also brown. I guess it all depends on the genetics you inherit from your parents.
I do know that alot of people who are born with real red hair also seem to have really fair skin and even freckles
Yeah, they also seem to come mostly from the northen european region, too. All those Irish, I suppose! Freckles and red hair go together.
My mother is Irish and German and she has blonde hair and blue eyes. I have the same blue eyes as her and so does my daughter. Blue eyes are not the dominate gene i read
Yeah, I come from a mix of French and English ancestry, and have blue eyes myself. Something called Tyndall scattering causes blue, green, and hazel eyes
Wow, that sounds interesting? Could you tell me more about Tyndall scattering?
Well, its how light refracts off of things, at its basic level. Longer wavelengths are transmitted more, while the short ones are reflected, which affects everything we see.
i always wondered about things like that. so cool. thank you for the info
