Natural red hair color is recorded in only 1-2% of all people living today. Most often it is found in the population of Northern and Western Europe, at the moment most people with fiery hair live in Scotland and Ireland, and in Russia - in Udmurtia. Scientists have found that this color is due to the presence of two copies of the recessive alleles on the 16th chromosome.
If both parents are red-haired, then the chance of having a baby with red hair is very high. But it was also found that there are many more people carrying a mutation that promotes redhead than those who are born with redheads.

History of appearance
Scientists suggest that the first red-haired people appeared on the territory of Europe in the Paleolithic era. The ancient Romans and Greeks believed that the red color spread from the Celtic peoples, modern researchers have confirmed this hypothesis. Among geneticists, there is a rule of the 45th parallel, which means that the overwhelming majority of red-haired people live up to 45 degrees north latitude.
This phenomenon is explained by the fact that beyond the 45th parallel, in intense sunlight, ultraviolet light is intensified, and the light skin of people with red hair becomes extremely vulnerable.
