Gingers Extinct in 100 Years?

Redheads extinct? Probably not, but scientists say redheads are definitely shrinking in population. Check out the story here.

This makes sense. My husband's a ginger, I'm definitely of mediterranean descent. Our kids are blonde. Not readheads, not dark like me (I look like the hispanic nanny. ) We've done nothing to save the redheads. Sorry... I tried. I blame my lack of recessive ginger genetics.
