Male ruby-throated hummingbirds do not help to raise their chicks. After the male and female copulate, the female raises the chicks alone. She builds the nest, lays the eggs, incubates them, broods the chicks and feeds them until they are 22 to 25 days old. The male does not provide any parental care.
Emigration from Eurasia and North Africa added to the population of red haired humans in the Americas, Australia, New Zealand and Southern Africa. In the United States, it is estimated that 2â6% of the population has red hair.n Asia, genetic red hair is rare, but can be found in the Levant (Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and Palestine), in Turkey, in Caucasia, in Northern Kazakhstan, among Uighurs and among Indo-Iranians.
Red hair is caused by a mutation of the MC1R gene, which is found on chromosome 16. In order for a person to have red hair, both parents must carry the mutation, since it is a recessive trait. Red hair can be passed down generation upon generation without ever being visible, which is why many redheads don't have parents or siblings with red hair. However, people carrying the gene will often have somewhat lighter skin, freckles, and/or red(ish) facial- or body hair. Although red hair has been found in Neanderthals, it is not the same mutation that causes red hair today.
