legionaire: you may have misunderstood what i was saying, all the education in the world can't dictate what the intellect of offspring will be.

someone with blonde hair has a child with a dark haired mate, the genetic probability will be for a dark haired child. the dark haired decendents continually have children with dark haired mates, chances are highly likely that every decendent will be dark haired. this doesn't exclude the chances for fair haired children because although the genes for light hair are recessive they are still part of the genetic code. this is why people occasionally are born with a residual tail, we've had no need for a tail for thousands upon thousands of years but that particular piece of genetic information is still part of our dna.

i'm trying to keep this simple because genetics is a quagmire and this could spawn a colossal debate but this is proven SCIENCE (cue cool themesong).
