Red hair genetics

[Dexxter]

Hi there!

I'm new to the forum and I'm very curious about red hair genetics.

There was something very astounding about them.

Many people says they have a different odour, others say that they smell when it rains.

I'm curious about that! Is it true? And if it's true, is there a scientific reason to explain this?

I hope I have not posted in the wrong section!

A gene that is responsible for red hair has been found in the DNA of some neanderthal remains, and scientists have now found evidence that the neanderthals interbred with cro-magnon humans....maybe that's how they "died out".

I've always had something for red heads, i was married to one for several years. She has no odor or smell that was different than any other red head or any other hair or skin color. I am very sensitive in the area of smell, I can tell when the wife was ovulating by her smell and pregnant women have a particular odor too but no odor for just red heads.

I think the odour thing is just gingerist.

I agree small bang, red heads are just unusual in our society, something like less than 4% in the world, less 2% in the USA. They stand out because they are unusual and catch the eye (not the nose) and not because they are in any way less than anyone else. ( I still have a thing for red heads though, lol)
