Twins born... one white and one black... OT

[nikko*ttc]

I thought this story was very unique and interesting... You'll have to take the added spaces out in order to read it though. A synopis of the story a German white male and his black wife from Ghana had twins on July 11th. One baby has blond hair, blue eyes, light skin and the other has dark hair, brown eyes, and dark skin. Apparently the odds of this happening are one in a million...

I saw this on TV and a long time ago I saw a Maury episode (or maybe it was Oprah? It was someone...) about two twin girls. One was black and one was white!

Did you know a white couple can have a black baby? I've also heard of that happening because in their deep ancestry one of them had a black family member!!!

I thought it was really cool! I saw a thing on it on yahoo.com a while back.

Genetics are a crazy thing and WAY out of my realm of understanding!! Science/Physics/Biology, etc... were NEVER my forte'


Very interesting stuff though!

I don't know if anyone watches Big Brother (on CBS), but one of the contestants has twins - boy is black and girl is white (with blue eyes).  She is black and her husband is white.  It is rather interesting how that can happen.
