A black couple living in the U.K. were shocked by the birth of a blond haired, blue-eyed girl.
Ben Ihegboro must have briefly questioned his wife Angela’s fidelity after the birth of Nmachi, and he conceded: “We both just sat there after the birth staring at her”.
As there is no known mixed-race background in either of the parents’ families, geneticists are baffled by the newborn’s surprise appearance.
Nmachi is the couple’s third child, with Dumebi, 2, and Chisom, 4, each bearing a strong resemblance to their parents. Doctors rejected the possibility of the baby being albino. The real cause is unknown, with the only explanation being a “genetic quirk.”
Professor Bryan Sykes, head of human genetics at Oxford University, described the birth as “extraordinary,” telling The Sun that for the baby to be completely white, both Ben and Angela would need to have “some form of white ancestry.’” The explanation for this lies in that mixed-race women carry some eggs containing genes for white skin and others for black; similarly men carry the same range of genes in their sperm.
Professor Sykes commented: “The hair is extremely unusual. Even many blond children don’t have blond hair like this at birth.”
Ben said that his son Chisom “keeps coming to look at his sister and then sits down looking puzzled.”

The heartbeats of a mother and her unborn fetus synchronize when she breathes rhythmically, researchers have said.
Scientists at the University of Aberdeen claim the connection paves the way for a new technique to detect development problems during pregnancy.
They said if this synchronization did not happen it could signal something might be wrong.
This, the researchers suggest, could allow early medical intervention.
Dr Marco Thiel, one of a team of physicists from the University of Aberdeen who worked on the study, said: “Pregnant mothers often report an awareness of a bond with their child. The fetus can sense the rhythmical shift in the mother’s heartbeat and adapts its own heartbeat accordingly”
“But until now there has been no hard evidence to suggest this bond is reflected in the interaction of their heartbeats.
“Our findings reveal that synchronization between the heartbeat of a mother and fetus does actually occur – but only when the mother is breathing in a rhythmical fashion.
“The fetus can sense the rhythmical shift in the mother’s heartbeat and adapts its own heartbeat accordingly.”
Dr Thiel added: “Importantly, the phenomenon does not occur when a mother is breathing normally.
“Although our studies showed that synchronization between the fetus and mother’s heartbeat might occur under normal conditions, this can be coincidental and not because of an actual physiological connection.”
