I am fascinated by the recent spate of article mentioning ancient red-headed groups of people. My dad was a red-head, as were two of his sisters.
My neighbor claims that redheads are descended from a superior race of people. He, of course, is a redhead, as am I, but I don't know that I agree with him on that. But I do know that studies have shown that redheads require more of all types of anesthesia than others do, and most doctors will tell you that redheads tend to bleed more easily and in larger quantities than others as well.
