My ancestors are from Germany and Ireland. I have reddish highlights in my hair, blue-grey eyes and pale skin.

"A 2007 genetic study suggested some Neanderthals may have had red hair and light skin colour."

I’m Italian and French. I have graying black hair and brown eyes.

There is probably plenty of Neanderthal DNA all over the world.

One of the Neanderthal genomes decoded came up with a gene for red hair - but not the one in humans.
