Blondes becoming extincted? Has anyone else heard of this?

Yea I have heard that. It has something to with a mutation in men/womens genes that is gradually becoming rarer.

I've heard it too. If a blond marries a dark haired person, usually most of the kids have brown hair. The blond hair gene must be recessive, I guess. I don't know if I would say extinct, but natural blonds would become rarer.

|||| ++++ |||| ++++ |||| ++++ |||| ++++|||| ++++ |||| ++++ |||| +++ |||| ++++ Yes, I read that as civilizations mix back together, we will lose both blond hair and blue eyes. I pictured a day, when everyone has dark hair and dark eyes, this beautiful (not that dark isn't beautiful...it is) blond-haired, blue-eyed child will be born to dark parents. And they won't even have to do DNA testing, because there are no other people like him in the entire world! But then I came back to reality...there will always be people who desire blond hair and blue eyes in their children...and they say, "Them that has gits." And by that time, we will all have, so we will all 'gits what we wants'. Ar ar ar ar ar. \0/ |||| ++++ |||| ++++ |||| ++++ |||| ++++|||| ++++ |||| ++++ |||| +++ |||| ++++

I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING, BUT I HOPE IT IS NOT TRUE.

Yes, the blonde gene is weaker than that of the dark hair gene so over time there will be less blonde people. Also, gingers face the same fate.

It is extremely doubtful on a genetic basis that " blond " will be eliminated from the gene pool; recessive or not. If it is a Mendelian trait, then all blonds would have to have no progeny; not too likely. If it was a polygenic trait, then we would have a continuous range of hair color; some additive to strong blond and some mixtures yielding other shades. I do not know much about the particulars of " blond ", but I know enough genetics to know " blond is not going " extinct ".

Blonds are not a species (arguably) and therefore cannot become extinct.

I guarantee you that this is a stupid question. As long as there is a preference for blonds, there will be blonds, by birth or by bleach. Now, I wonder if what you are thinking is along the line so "racial extinction." Wherever human populations come together, they tend to have children. As the US becomes more multiracial, the population in general will be browner with darker hair. Racial categories are social constructs, and do not have any real biological meaning Big question: SO WHAT?

Blondes being created is bullshit. And you're talking about the "browning of America" where some anthropologists believe that recessive traits will become rarer because of all the interracial reproduction going on in America. But blondes aren't dying out or something, that's just retarded, look at Scandinavians.
