Question

Is ginger hair people is gonna to be extinct in 100 years time?

Answer 1

Not unless all "ginger" people die or natural selection determines it obsolete for some reason...

Answer 2

There is some discussion that red-heads will be "extinct" in 100 years due to the fact that it is a recessive trait, etc.  Recently, though, geneticists have debunked that theory, saying that it would probably take much longer, if it happens at all.  Many recessive traits become common by the fact that so many people carry them.  Many dominant traits, for example, the widow's peak, become uncommon, because so many people carry them recessively.  It's a complicated area that we still know little about.  However, it does look like redheads will be around for a lot longer than 100 years.  Thank goodness!
