The first part of this is certainly true, but the second part, about the populations of eastern europe, north america, australia, brazil and argentina is not. In almost all the industrialized world, when you discount immigration, the population is going down, not up and there's a good chance there will be fewer people in the world in 2202 than there are now... and most of that population loss will come from Western countries (although Argentina does show fertility rates beyond replacement at the moment). The reason there might be any increase in population in most of these places is due to third world immigration, which will certainly not help the number of blondes around.
Anyone know if the German researchers took this into account?
>>>the hardy-weinberg principle pretty much blows this theory apart you can read elsewhere about it.
a black haired couple can give birth to a blonde child
but blonde parents can't give birth to black haired children.
when a brunette mates with a blonde the recessive alleles do not get anniliated. they just get shuffled.
countries where blondes live have vast natural resources that black haired countries don't have.
200 years from now the combined poplulation of eastern europe, north america, australia and brazil and argentina will be huge. blonde people live in the bread baskets of the world.
the number of blonde alleles as a percentage of the population will actually increase in the next 200 years <<<<
