Left-handed Redheads?

Will Redheads be extinct like the Dinosaurs?
There have been a lot of studies that predicted Redheads may not exist in the near future due to the recessive nature of the genes. However, new studies seem to indicate that Redheads are here to stay and instead the elusive Red hair-blue eye combination may become even more rare.
