Redhead calendar 2018

Description:When this gene malfunctions, it produces not only red hair but it also produces freckles and pale skin as well. Unfortunately, the MC1R gene is regressive — which means that it thrives in mainly rote and closed communities such as Ireland, Scotland or the coastal regions of Scandinavia. This rarity caused a variety of myths and legends to develop about redheads during the Middle Ages which included everything from the belief that redheads are in league with the devil or that redheads turn into vampires when they die. This, in turn, gave them stronger bones and probably allowed them to survive childbirth. Sort of an antidote against the bullying and prejudice that redheads often encounter on a daily basis.
