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!

-Forgive the delay in publishing, a combination of technical issues (there's still some distortion in Remy's audio), Remy moving (finally finished!), and health stuff really shook up our schedule. Things should be back to normal next week! Thank you for bearing with us.
