RE: A serious question about hair!
It gets more complex than that. If you have a brown-blond complexion, you'll notice your beard is made up from a mix of colors (some facial hair may be totally black, others totally yellow-white) that ultimately create the impression of a homogeneous color somewhere in the middle - which looks similar to the hair color. Now how does each hair follicle know what to do without some "master programming" organizing this...
Wow, this is an intriguing subject!! Started having a read of Wiki - genetics and biochemistry of hair colour...the more you look into it the more questions you end up with! And I don't think there's any scientific answers... :S
There's a saying that for every question there is an answer. But it doesn't necessarily need to be correct. For example science has "explanations" for dejavu as well. They say "oh it's one optical nerve that lags in transmission and the brain gets the two optical signals at slightly different speeds, so you get the replay sensation". Yet that doesn't explain why I know what will happen +5/+10s afterwords (I have the entire "scene" in my mind on how it'll unfold). But the "explanation", as bogus as it may be, exists anyway so as for scientists not to appear "ignorant". "Oh we know what it is"... yeah right.
Yes, I've found 'It's probably genetics' quite a lot! Your articles look really interesting, will be having a read through those :) Do you have any theories about ancient civilisations? That's another of my interests which always raises more and more questions!
I haven't really started to write a lot (20-30-40 articles aren't a lot by my standard) but I hope to change that and extend in spirituality, metaphysics, psychology, mind-body connections, quantum stuff, etc.
As for ancient civilizations, one of my theories is ...alien interaction, if not "cultivation" of our species by aliens who experimented on the higher primates.
