Black Parents = White Baby??

A black couple has amazed genetics experts, as their newly born baby is a white, blue-eyed blonde. Doctors at the Queen Mary’s Hospital in Sidcup told the parents that Nmachi Ihegboro is definitely not an albino. However, the child has baffled the genetics experts because neither Ben nor wife Angela has any mixed-race family history.
Bryan Sykes, the head of Human Genetics at Oxford University and Britain’s leading expert, called the birth ‘extraordinary’. 

“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 Sun quoted Sykes as saying. 

“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,” Sykes added. 

Sykes said both parents would have needed “some form of white ancestry” for a pale version of their genes to be passed on. 
But the researcher added, “The hair is extremely unusual. Even many blonde children don’t have blonde hair like this at birth.” 
Sykes expert said some unknown mutation was the most likely explanation. 
“The rules of genetics are complex and we still don’t understand what happens in many cases,” he added.
