The Daily Sun in the UK is reporting that a Nigerian couple in London has baffled researchers and almost everyone around the world by giving birth to a blue-eyed blonde baby.

Nmachi  Ihegboro was born at Queen Mary’s Hospital in Sidcup, Kent to his African parents who have no history of mixed race family history… which makes this case extremely rare.

Does that mean she could have cheated?

 Father, Ben, joked that when he saw the child, he got immediate internal questions about whether the kid was his or not.

“She doesn’t look like an albino child anyway – not like the ones I’ve seen back in Nigeria or in books,” father Ben Ihegboro told The Sun.

 “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,” “She just looks like a healthy white baby.” said Ben.

Professor Bryan Sykes, head of Human Genetics at Oxford University, claims that 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.

The professor also explained that the possibility is common in the Caribbean where interracial mixing is common, but not in a country like Nigeria where 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 only way to explain such an outcome is due to some form of genetic mutation.
