I'd heard that blondes were supposedly going extinct too. But, I still applied natural selection and realized that blondes could not die out, unless suddenly a mysterious winged predator with an appetite for blonde-haired humans showed up. If it's a recessive gene, darker-haired people can still carry them, and create a few more from time to time if they're lucky.
WHAT? I am blonde...your scaring me ;)

I had 6 wisdom teeth, most people have four, some have two, some have none. I think there is definitely an evolutionary link. Its easy to think of scenarios where wisdom teeth could have been a beneficial thing, or a detrimental thing based on the main foods eaten in a particular population.

I honestly can't see wisdom teeth going away completely since with modern dentistry the problems can be fixed.

Blondes just aren't breeding fast enough to keep up with the others, however I think that's a good thing. Last thing we need is a country full of blondes with bad teeth that cause them to speak with a funny accent... I swear that wasn't meant as a joke about the English!
