A 2007 报道 in The Courier-Mail, which cited the National Geographic magazine and unnamed "geneticists", 说 that red hair is likely to die out in the near future.[33] Other blogs and news sources ran similar stories that attributed the research to the magazine 或者 the "Oxford Hair Foundation". However, a HowStuffWorks 文章 says that the foundation was funded 由 hair-dye maker Procter & Gamble, and that other experts had dismissed the research as either lacking in evidence 或者 simply bogus. The National Geographic 文章 in fact states "while redheads may decline, the potential for red isn't going away".[34]
Red hair is caused 由 a relatively rare recessive gene, the expression of which can skip generations. It is not likely to disappear at any time in the foreseeable future.[34]
