Hair

Okay, so I’m going to try a more serious post than the last few jovial ones. 

I’m led to believe that gingers, or the Red Headed Gene, are dying out. Within possibly 100 years scientist believe that ginger will in fact no longer be a hair colour. Which got me thinking, could this have possibly happened before?

                What’s to say year’s, perhaps more realistically, millenniums ago, that other types of hair colours existed, such as blue or green. Yes, a slightly extreme theory, but none the less a realistic possibility. To me, there seems a trend towards brighter coloured hairs having the recessive gene. Ginger, possibly the brightest currently surviving, is simply a toned down version of red. So why can’t a dull green or blue have existed? They were perhaps just a terribly recessive gene and didn’t last very long, but there is a chance this could’ve been true, why shouldn’t there have been?

I figure this would have existed long before historians or anybody could record. Or simply that at the time it seemed normal and nobody took much notice or felt the need to record? An argument against could be that we all descended from apes, as evolution tells, so why isn’t there blue coloured apes? Well it would appear there are. The Diademed Monkey, a species found in central and east Africa, disproves this argument, and indeed highlights the possibility that there may have been Blue haired people.
                Just simply because it seems so bizarre to someone today, doesn’t mean it’s incorrect. A whole spectrum of colours exist, why is, or more accurately, why did hair colour get restricted to black, brown, blonde and ginger?
