Red heads are pretty rare since only about 2 percent of the human population has red hair. People of western and northern European ancestry are the ones with the highest occurrence.

Why are redheads so rare?

Redheads are rare primarily due to the genetic factors involved in hair color. The gene responsible for red hair, known as MC1R, is a recessive trait, meaning that both parents must carry the gene for a child to inherit red hair. This rarity is further influenced by geographic and ethnic factors, as red hair is most commonly found in individuals of Northern or Western European descent. As a result, in the global population, redheads make up only about 1-2%.

When will redheads go extinct?

Don't believe the hype; Redheads are NOT going extinct. Red hair is a recessive gene, and unless all people carrying such a gene die, then the trait will carry on. It is likely, however, that redheads will become more rare in the future. This is due to two factors: 1) some ethnicities don't carry the red-hair gene, and 2) the increased prevalence of interracial marriages.

Can redheads get a tan?

no they cant get a tan cuz they are just going to get burnt and start to peel and all that Close but no prize. redheads ARE able to get a tan but it is very rare. The gene for red hair, which is a MC1R variant is located close to the gene for skin color. Most redheads cannot get a tan because in freckled redheads, the melanin is contained only in the freckles, not spread out uniformly as is the case for most people. Therefore, the freckles can tan (i.e. get darker) but there is usually no melanin in between the freckles. In rare cases, there are redheads with very little freckling and olive or darker skin. This is usually seen in non Celtic, Semitic (as in Jews, mostly Ashkenazi, as well as Arabs) or Iranian descent. There is a very, very tiny amount of these darker skinned redheads in Asian populations. I'm not sure. I'm a redhead and i can tan just fine and haven't had a sunburn for 9 or 10 years. Sure its uncommon and i probably spend more time outside than other redheads but i tan fine in the summer and lose it a bit during the winter just like everyone else
