"I am a redhead of Scottish decent and I am not comfortable with the idea that a British scientist has attributed red hair to Neanderthals. It smacks of a slur, for some reason."

Don't be insulted. I too am a redhead of Scottish decent and I am proud to carry the genes of a human species, so far, vastly more successful than the so-called modern type. We neanderthals lasted 200,000 years or so.

My beautiful granddaughter is a red head. Her mother's father is of Scottish descent and her mother's mother is Tlingit indian. Her great grandmother on dad's side was an auburn-haired Irish gal. Sooo, who does she take it after? I think the indian genes are suppressed here.
