Imagine a world without redheads. A world in which the gene responsible for giving people red hair has been bred out of existence.
While it might sound like the plot of a science fiction film, it’s actually a potential future event, according to Kyle Page, Artistic Director & Co-CEO of the Townsville-based company Dancenorth.
‘In 2007, there was this very contentious article in National Geographic which [suggested] that red hair is a recessive gene and a whole bunch of factors, from global intermingling to climate change, are putting that recessive gene’s survival at risk,’ Page explained.
