[quote]Genetics experts have been amazed by the birth of a blonde, blue-eyed white baby - to a black couple.
Doctors insist tiny Nmachi is not an albino and neither of the parents has any mixed-race family history.
Dad Ben Ihegboro, 44, a railway customer services adviser, said: "We both just sat there after the birth staring at her for ages - not saying anything.
"The first thing I said was 'What the flip?'."
Nmachi, whose name means Beauty of God in the Nigerian homeland of parents Angela and Ben, was born at Queen Mary's Hospital in Sidcup, Kent.
Doctors there told them she is not an albino.
"She doesn't look like an albino child anyway - not like the ones I've seen back in Nigeria or in books," Ben told The Sun. "She just looks like a healthy white baby."
Ben added: "Of course, she's mine. My wife is true to me. Even if she hadn't been, the baby still wouldn't look like that.
"We don't know of any white ancestry. We wondered if it was a genetic twist. But even then, what's with the long curly blonde hair?"
Professor Bryan Sykes, head of Human Genetics at Oxford University, said: "In mixed race humans, the lighter variant of skin tone may come out in a child - and this can sometimes be startlingly different to the skin of the parents.
"This might be the case where there is a lot of genetic mixing, as in Afro-Caribbean populations. But in Nigeria there is little mixing."
He said that both parents would have needed some form of white ancestry for a pale version of their genes to be passed on.
"The hair is extremely unusual," Prof Sykes said. "Even many blonde children don't have blonde hair like this at birth."
Some form of unknown mutation was the most likely explanation, he added.
The couple, of Woolwich, south London, have two other children, four-year-old Chisom and sister Dumebi, two.
Mum Angela, 35, told the paper: "Nmachi's colour doesn't matter. She's a miracle baby. But still, what on earth happened here?"[/quote]

I was skeptical about when I saw the thread title and was like "I bet it's just an albino kid, nothing new here"

Now this is very interesting.
Not really, the kids just that one semi beneficial mutation that in theory could have happened that finally happened.
Not really strange, The woman could of banged a white person and had his jizz stuck inside her
O_o I suspect cheatin, at least for now, who knows maybe it did rly happen. seems farfetched tho
[QUOTE=Best4bond;23492927]Not really strange, The woman could of banged a white person and had his jizz stuck inside her[/QUOTE]
Get some sense. its not albino and its not mixed raced. Its a white person born to a black woman. Even if she cheated, how the fuck could a black woman give birth to a white baby. I don't even suspect cheating anyway.
Maybe this explains how humans got light skin when we were still spreading all over the world.

It's completely possible if she cheated.
But even then it would be far more likely the kid would be black.
This kid will have the best of both world then.

They would know dude. And a white person isn't just a black person whose pigments have reduced. :colbert:

Do you even know how genetics work
or even how human reproduction works?
"The first thing I said was 'What the flip?'"
A likely story...
the sun, very likely that this is not true
It happens all the time, just not usually in this magnitude. Melanin takes a few days to appear, so all babies are born white. Apparently, this one takes a while longer (or he could have a defect where he can't produce it at all).
Wife cheated on him.
