Exactly correct, but I think the interesting part is that they've been able to isolate the mutant gene, & establish that it's a relatively recent development in human history...especially considering how pervasive the trait is.

I saw a related article some months back that stated that those of us with red hair are a dying breed due to the fact that the gene is a recessive one...I've seen some evidence in my own family that makes me think it's true, since neither of my kids have red hair, this in spite of not only my own but a few redheads in my wife's family tree.

This new article makes me wonder about the future of the blue-eyed gene, whether it may be more dominant or recessive...
