An interesting story! I really didn't believe that a gene, especially a blonde one, would carry that far forward. Do you know how many generations a generation can be carried without manifesting itself before it dies out? I've heard 6 generations, but have no idea whether or not that's true.

I think the whole remise of this story is just silly. Jeans don't dye out. Even if by some Google-plex-to-one chance that all blond genes became a lone recessive gene, there would still exist and be waiting to pair up with another recessive gene. I question the intellect of these so-called researchers.
