Super Weird….
Now this has my mind boggled. It goes against everything you ever learned in biology. How is it a Black Nigerian couple from London have a blonde haired blue eyed baby? Immediately I started thinking he may not be the daddy (sorry, I grew up with Jerry and Maury… You are NOT the father!), but he is in fact the father of this child. No, there’s isn’t any mixed-race family history. No, the baby isn’t an albino. WTF?!?!?
Professor Bryan Sykes, head of Human Genetics at Oxford University and Britain’s leading expert, yesterday called the birth “extraordinary”. “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…The hair is extremely unusual. Even many blonde children don’t have blonde hair like this at birth.” The expert said some unknown mutation was the most likely explanation. He admitted: “The rules of genetics are complex and we still don’t understand what happens in many cases.”
Wow, I would hate to have to explain that one to my child’s father. I’m just saying…weird.
