Redheads


I found this on the New Scientist page. News that Neanderthals may have been redheads. They were careful to note that the genetic markers in the Neanderthals are different from those in modern humans, hmmmm.
Ever wonder how come we are so closely related to chimps and/or bonobos (96-98% genetically identical) and yet so different from Neanderthals?
