Natural red-haired hair can disappear due to climate change

According to scientists from Scotland's Institute of DNA Research, red-haired genes in Scotland may disappear due to weather dependence.

Red hair and light skin are the result of a special gene mutation, thought to be very sensitive to light.

This gene mutation causes DNA in skin cells to be at risk of being exposed to sunlight, even cancer. Therefore, scientists believe that the fate of red-haired genes depends on the density of the difference between sunny or rainy weather.

Professor Alistair Moffat, director of the Scottish Institute for DNA Research in Galashiels, said reddish hair in Scotland, Ireland and northern England stemmed from poor sunlight conditions and recommended people. people increase the use of vitamin D.

According to Moffat, the changing weather, more or less rain, will affect the hair gene, especially if the weather is more sunny, it is likely that the hair of the hair will disappear.

Another scientist said that within a few hundred years, what scientists feared would happen. According to him, his hair color and blue eyes only adapt to warm weather.
