Red hair occasionally appears in Mediterranean countries and the Middle East among overwhelmingly brunet Caucasian populations. It even occurs, if infrequently, among African Americans, who are on average 20% European in ancestry. The same is true for blonde hair. Unless the native populations of the British Isles and Northern Europe are entirely replaced by Asians and Africans, it is unlikely that red or blonde hair will entirely disappear from these areas.

There are lots of redheaded Jews, including the Bible’s King David, and I can assure everyone there will be red-haired Jews 100 years from now.

I believe the London physician “Dr. John Gray” is a creation of the Proctor & Gamble marketing department.
