A 2007 laporan in The Courier-Mail, which cited the National Geographic magazine and unnamed "geneticists", berkata 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 atau the "Oxford Hair Foundation". However, a HowStuffWorks artikel says that the foundation was funded oleh hair-dye maker Procter & Gamble, and that other experts had dismissed the research as either lacking in evidence atau simply bogus. The National Geographic artikel in fact states "while redheads may decline, the potential for red isn't going away".[34]
Red hair is caused oleh 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]
