My Favorite Web Links

My favorite web sites that I've consulted so far (in no particular order):

Radio Netherlands - This article and radio interview highlights the redheads of the Netherlands and also addresses the scarcity of redheads, as well as the possibility of extinction. In the sound clip, a reporter interviews a geneticist on the subject.

Red & Proud - This is a web site for redheads, about redheads, and by redheads. It includes everything from the latest news and media, to health care tips, to a list of famous redheads. There is also a forum where redheads can share their experiences. Besides the links to news stories and some research, I'm not sure about the authority of this web site, but it seems to be the only one of it's kind.

Red Hair Genetics - This is Professor Jonathan Rees's genetic explanation for red hair. He is one of the premier researchers on the genetics of red hair and health condition associated with redhead skin types.

The Tech Museum - The Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose, California has web exhibit called "Ask a Geneticist." This section of the web site has had a few different questions posed by redheads regarding the happenstance of red hair and redhead extinction.

Wikipedia’s Redhead page - Even though Wikipedia is often questioned on its accuracy and authority, I found the Redhead page useful because of the links to other useful sites and articles cited. It also showed a comprehensive picture of redhead topics.

Enjoy!
