Episode 49: Toxicity in You: Part 2

CW: Cannibalism, Death, Bullying, Various Health Conditions

Listener Billy hit us with an excellent question: would redheads bright coloration indicate potentially poisonous meat? We take you on a journey through pigmentation in nature outside of humans, poison, and people-eating to answer this one. In part two, we’re looking at where the redhead genetics came from, how those genes affect the way your body functions, and that will finally lead us to a conversation about cannibals, human meat, and how those genetics might change the taste. Billy, I hope you really like the journey we’ve taken you on!

In this episode, we’re mainly talking about the genetics of people with red hair and how they differ a little from people who don’t have red hair.
