Her findings suggest that red hair and fair skin was very uncommon among ancient Germans. Out of a total of 26 people analysed, Schmidt found only one person with red hair and fair skin, a man from the Middle Ages.

What is the incidence of red hair in Germany today? Probably less than one in 26. What a tiny number of people studied. How can she draw any responsible conclusions so soon?

Redheads are more commonly found on the internet now than anywhere else on earth at any time. *L*
