Not the joke I thought it would turn out to be.
In summary, our results confirm anecdotal clinical impressions that anesthetic requirement is greater in redheads. The observed 19% difference between the two groups makes red hair a distinct phenotype that correlates with inhalational anesthetic requirement in humans and can be traced to a specific genotype.
Am wondering if or how this study accounted for that.
I wonder if this has anything to do with the articles I read that postulated that redheads have a greater abundance of Neanderthal genes.
Not just inhalational, red heads need more local anesthesia too.
