We aren't going to die out. The gene for red hair is tied to the gene for reproducing like rabbits on caffine.

Now in my case, I'm the only one known for generations. None of my three children had red hair. Mine was carrot top red as a child, then darkened to auburn, by my 40's was turning white.
Not too many guys wanted to date me in hs. I did meet my husband but that was one humongous mistake.
