A black couple has given birth to a white baby. There are three possibilities as to why the strange event could have occurred:
The baby could be albino. Although preliminary tests rule this out, it�s been noted that doctors have not confirmed that she is not albino.
Dormant Caucasian DNA: somewhere down the line there could have been a mixed race couple long forgotten. This could cause the baby to have light skin.
A genetic mutation: Sci-Fi followers may be curious to realize that there�s a possibility that this child has a gene mutation never seen before.
The black couple, white baby birth will go down as one of the most interesting scientific stories of the year. Although white couples have given birth to darker skinned babies, it�s very rare for two extremely dark skinned individuals to give birth to someone with blond hair and blue eyes.
Not only is this story fascinating and sets my mind excitedly exploring possibilities (even ideas of meddling alien embryo mix-ups ), but I have had numerous dreams over the years of dark skinned mothers giving birth to stark white babies. It's so weird.
Actually, on this blog there are comments such as this:

I am not exactly sure why the parents are so surprised.. I am also of Igbo decent from nigeria. And this is so common in nigeria that no even bothers to talk about it.

They are Igbo...no surprise. Albinsim and various derivatives of it are SO common among Igbos of Nigeria. I believe they have one of the highest if not highest prevalence of Albinsim in Nigeria. Of course, there is also the Lost Tribe of Israel theory of Igbo orgin. Maybe this and albinism are just 1,000 year old genes resurfacing.
