I have red hair and i see more people like me in  northern or western European ancestry
Are you Irish?
I am Irish American. My mothers side has the partial ancestry from Ireland
Nice. I have a wee bit of Irish in my too! But my hair is blonde, a trait I inherited from an eastern european mother.
That is cool. We that are of Irish ancestry made up to 10.5% of the total population. That is a huge number
Interesting. I happen to be listening to Irish folk music at this moment as we discuss our shared Irish heritage. Cool. Is your skin fair as well?
I have the skin of average american but with a  Red hair  which make me one of the 1–2% of the human population that has it
Super. Are the genes for hair color linked to skin color in any way?
I am not sure but i know the hair is characterized by high levels of the reddish pigment pheomelanin and relatively low levels of the dark pigment eumelanin.
