The discussion centers on the genetic basis of the blonde trait, which is carried by a recessive gene. There is a claim that blonde individuals may eventually become extinct, but this assertion lacks reliability. In populations where blonde hair is prevalent, it has historically been selected for due to survival or reproductive advantages. As long as these populations remain stable and are not significantly selected against, the trait is likely to persist. While mixing with other populations can reduce the frequency of the blonde gene, it is unlikely to disappear entirely, especially in regions where it has been advantageous, such as Northern and temperate climates.
