editThe spanish figure is 2-3% redhaired people according to data. I leave the link here https://www.elmundo.es/magazine/2003/183/1048874109.html#:~:text=Si%20s%C3%B3lo%20el%207%25%20de,tanto%20dorado%20por%20nuestras%20ciudades? (Si sólo el 7% de los españoles es rubio natural (el 57% es castaño, el 26% moreno, el 3% pelirrojo y el 10% restante moreno y castaño claros)
Edit Suggestion - Genetics
editUnder section 2.1 Genetics I propose the following addition:
A haplotype has been identified on the ASIP locus on chromosome 20 that is associated with red hair.[1] The ASIP locus prevents the MC1R receptor from producing melanocyte-stimulating hormone. As a result, less eumelanin and more pheomelanin is produced. Pheomelanin has been linked to red hair and increased risk of skin damage due to UV light.

Some irish people say irish have red hair because of the vikings?
editI have heard some irish people say that some irish people have red or blonde hair because of the Germanic invasion(Vikings) of Ireland. Why do irish people say this?
Medieval antisemitism
editThe following proposition:
The medieval prejudice against red-hair may have derived from the Ancient biblical tradition, in relation to biblical figures such as Esau and King David.
is unsourced and it is contraddicted by the Bible. 1 Samuel 16:1–13 affirms king David "was ruddy, with bright eyes, and good-looking." King David has been proclaimed saint for all the Christian Churches whi veretate the saints: his being ruddy couldn't have arisen any prejudice against rutilism.

Relation to psychiatric and other abnormalities?
editRed hair is associated with increased risk of various disorders. Would be interesting to see more discussion on this, even if research is limited and controversial 73.59.17.63 (talk) 01:18, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
