Question: Will blond hair and blue eyes become extinct in the near future!? !?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
This urban legend has been around since about the time of the American Civil War along with plenty of natural blonds and redheads!. In its latest reincarnation in 2002, authorities with the World Health Organization reportedly issued this dire prediction!.

Of course, the precentage of blond and red hair may decrease if relatively isolated populations of blonds and redheads of Northern Europe gradually intermarry individuals who don't carry such recessive genes!. However, since both blond and red hair are the result of recessive genes, even if both parents have dark hair, if they also carry a recessive gene for either blond or red hair, it has the possibility of occasionally reoccurring!.

I have heard a lot of talk about red heads going extinct within the next 2 or 3 generations, but i can't imagine that happening in parts of ireland, scotland, and wales, so theyll probably exist in smaller amounts in the futureWww@QuestionHome@Com

I doubt it!. They are in the gene pool, and will remain there even though they may be recessive, and they will continue to pop up every once in a while!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Quite possibility over a very long time!.
Already some races of people have diapered (tiny village races in remote places)!.
No conservation programs for people!. Just other animals etc!.
