Irish people developed their red hair because of a lack of sunlight, according to new research from a leading DNA lab. Irelands DNA has revealed that one in 10 Irish people have red hair but it is thought that up to half the population could be carrying the redhead gene even though they are blonde or brunette.

A move to the UK has certainly paid off for the 28-year-old Irish stylist who is now being hailed as the new Alexa Chung and who has already caught the attention of style bible Vogue.
Irish people developed their red hair because of a lack of sunlight, according to new research from a leading DNA lab.
Irelands DNA has revealed that one in 10 Irish people have red hair but it is thought that up to half the population could be carrying the redhead gene even though they are blonde or brunette.
The DNA laboratory carrying out research into the flame-haired gene believes it is so associated with Ireland and Scotland because it is connected to a lack of vitamin D, which is related to the lack of sunlight.
It is thought Ireland, Scotland and northern England have the highest concentration of Titian-haired people in the world because the Celtic colouring is genetically programmed to work better in our sun-starved countries.
"It's to do with the cloudy climate," said Helen Moffat, marketing manager at IrelandsDNA.
"Scandinavia has perhaps less hours of sunshine but Ireland and Britain are much cloudier so the Vitamin D we get is much lower in comparison to somewhere like Scandinavia where they seem to have more sunshine.
"The fairer you are, the more vitamin D you can absorb. Red hair is associated with fair skin due to the lower melanin concentration and this has advantages as more vitamin D can be absorbed."
Alastair Moffat, managing director of the genetic research laboratory, said two of the most common redhead gene variants came from just two Asian people 70,000 years ago.
IrelandsDNA, which focuses on probing people's heritage, has developed a new test that allows parents to see if they might have red-haired children.
They are hoping the test – which will show that many brunette and blondes unknowingly carry the redhead gene – will curb the prejudice and teasing some redheads face.

Touching the trunk in a defined area leaves their fingerprints on the car. If they were to be attacked, the vehicle could be linked with the crime.
Why do police officers touch the back of stopped cars? The practice, common in countries including the United States, is part of a security protocol A police officer touches the back of a car after pulling it over on the highway. The image is common in films, and it also appears in real videos shared on social media. A police officer stops a car, and, as they approach the vehicle, they touch the trunk with their right hand. The habit is common enough that it is clearly not a coincidence. The gesture is part of a protocol used in the United States, among other countries. The police officer approaches the trunk of the car on the driver’s side and places one hand on the back end. By doing so, they ensure that the trunk is closed and that no one will jump out of it. But the action goes one step further: it is meant to ensure the officer’s own safety. Touching the trunk in a defined area leaves their fingerprints on the car. If they were to be attacked, the vehicle could be linked with the crime. The officer approaches the driver from the side to avoid being run over if the car drives forward or backward. Once at the level of the driver’s seat, the police officer also tends to put their hand on the roof, just above the window. That ensures that their fingerprints will be visible in yet another area if needed. So the gesture, so ubiquitous in videos and films, works for security purposes, allowing the officers to leave evidence of their interaction with the vehicle in case of a serious incident.
