There was a report not long ago
That the ginger gene is a recessive traceable back to Neanderthal. And it's caveman. That caused huge hilarity for my nephew. He's 6'5" about 16 stone and ginger.

FFS at least google a bit.
There was some persuasive study which suggested blonde hair developed among females to attract men during a time of high female to male population ratio after the last European ice age. It may well have first appeared in Scandinavia, and moved to trading. Gradually it changed to red hair - possible as it was more successful at attracting males.
My theory is the present discrimination is because there aren't enough redheads to go round - men do find them attractive, but cannot admit to wanting something they are not likely to get.

Blonde hair as sexual attractor
The other theory is that as blonde hair is more common in the European young, blondes who retain their hair colour into adulthood appear more youthful/healthier, and a better mating prospect. Also, as a youthful appearance is more effective at reducing aggression, they were less likely to be killed.
