20 Unbelievable Facts Every Ginger Person Should Know

7. There Were Ginger Neanderthals

Scientists recently discovered that some Neanderthal people likely had the same genetic mutation that gingers have today, which means there were probably some redheaded Neanderthals out there. Scientists see no evidence of interbreeding between the Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens, which means the red hair gene probably popped up separately in the two species, which also suggests that ginger Neanderthal women were not as promiscuous as people would have you believe. Or maybe they were worried about deviant offspring, too.
