I grew up thinking redheads were genetic freaks. Loved blondes in the '60s... then had a thing for short-haired brunettes in the '70s... then a thing for my wife's beautiful hair (from its auburn highlighted brown youth to its salt & pepper days) but now it's redheads (as well as, age appropriately, grey-silver-white heads) who catch my eye in a crowd.

So here's the question: if I'm no longer in my procreating years and I now prefer redheads, does that mean that--from an evolutionary psychology vantagepoint--that redheads
really are considered genetic outliers?
If so...
viva la outliers!
