British woman Catherine Howard was very surprised when her son was born. The doctors who accepted the birth were no less surprised.
Although the child was born healthy, he surprised everyone with his type and skin color: white, gray-green eyes, brown hair. What is strange here? The point is that a white baby was born to a black woman.
Although doctors told Catherine that most babies’ skin darkens slightly after a few weeks, Ion will never be completely black.
And the woman was so disheartened by what happened that for some time I think that her child was changed.
The difference between the mother and the child is simply amazing. Her husband Richard, who works as a medical consultant,
was no less surprised than his wife and knows that if one of the parents is black, then the child is necessarily born dark-skinned, not white.
Usually, the color is always dominant in these accessories, but nature made a different calculation here.
Catherine Howard, whose parents are Nigerian citizens, says that all her ancestors were black.
However, doctors speculate that they may once have been carriers of a recessive gene responsible for white skin,
and its genetics may have influenced Ion’s appearance. Seven different genes are responsible for human skin color.
If one of the parents has white and dark color in his genes, then the child can be born both white and dark.
It is once in a million that a black woman gives birth to a white child. The chance of a black woman giving birth to a white child is one in a million. It is unlikely that the
couple will have another white child in the future, as it requires an extremely rare combination of genes.
At least, that’s what the doctors claimed. But a few years later, Catherine Howard had a second child.
The girl was also fair-skinned, with blue eyes and brown hair. And she was also blonde, with beautiful blue eyes and brown hair.
The birth of a black woman’s second white child was a true miracle of nature. The parents named the girl Sophia.
