The above is the name of a book by Bryan Sykes. He is also the author of "The Seven Daughters of Eve" and "Adam's Curse". Husband has read it and tells me it is very descriptive of the origins of the various peoples who have made up the British Isles. Perhaps there is information about red heads, too. I guess I'll have to read it. This is not a commercial for this book. Has anyone else read this? Thanks, Jeannette

I read the book some time ago. There just might be something about redheads. Unfortunately the book is based on old and rather primitive research, and Bryan Sykes tends to oversimplify and sensationalize. Unless he discusses genetics of red hair in depth and gives them more than one origin, I'd not give it much credence. You can always google genetics of red hair!

Red hair colour is a recessive gene - not determined by one parent alone. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dora Smith Sent: Sunday, 1 December 2013 8:59 AM To: Jeannette Walton; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Lanark] Saxons, Vikings, and Celts I read the book some time ago.
