From some of the studies I have found on the Internet, it seems that red hair is from the indigenous, Paleolithic population.

Sorry I can't remember the names of the studies/sites.

Well, that's interesting. Thanks.

It seems that the genetics can get quite complicated in Ireland. After all, you have the original folks, the Norse, the Normans, the Spanish and of course, the Brits.

Are you sure? I thought the "Black Irish" were the original Paleolithic population, and that the red and blond hair came from the Celts.
