      I would imagine that it is linked to the rainward side of the Urals, which I would imagine have more cloud and so would promote a selection for improved Vitamin D production, as with Ireland.

        Uh, the Northern latitudes have a bit to do with it, sure.

        But you’ll notice the northern most part of Scotland is still further south than the southernmost point of Finland, yet there’s less gingers.

        Do you know another thing which influences the prevalence of gingers?

        Incest.
