Twins With Different Skin Color

This story came out a little over a week ago, but since GooGaBaby wasn’t in existence at that time, I think it’s a noteworthy enough story to post about it now. Check out this photo, and you’ll see what I mean. A British woman gave birth to these beautiful babies. And no, they do not have different fathers.

In an interview with Britain’s Sky News program, mother Kerry Richardson said that the boys were both born white but as they’ve gotten older one of the boys got darker and the other lighter.

Today, she says, the twins attract attention wherever they go.

Richardson is of mixed race, with Nigerian and English heritage, while the father is white.

A genetics expert at Oxford University says such births are rare, as the genes that cause skin color normally mix together. In this case, he says, it appears the genes for skin color didn’t combine for some reason and the boys may have inherited different genetic codes from their mother.

I find this story even more interesting due to the fact that I’m Asian and Josh is Jewish, which makes Pooky . . . an Asian Jew?
