Finally! We have witnessed evolution IN ACTION! This is should hopefully end the stupid evolution fact/fiction discussions.

>>2799527

didja know, that the genes for skin and eye color are only 7 and are the same in all humans? what changes is how those genes express themselves, so it's possible that in some rare cases some of those genes get flipped the other way around.

or it could be a recessive trait from some old ancestor.

or it's an albino girl.

lrn to actual genetics

So you're going to believe that two black parents, whose ancestry has no history of race mixing somehow managed to show a "recessive" gene that it never had to begin with, or that the genetic code somehow flawlessly mutated itself to show phenotypes never expressed before?

Why is it so hard to admit that this story is fake?

>> No.2799607

>>2799563
but not impossible

you just need both parents to be heterozygous in every one of the half dozen or so genes

and then the baby to get the recessive gene in every one of the genes, and from both parents

>> No.2799611

>>2799603
>no known history of race mixing

ftfy

>> No.2799612

This would mean that each parent would have to be heterozygous for each of the 6-7 or so skin-color genes.
And then each of those recessive genes must be transferred into the child.
But this is fucking impossible because skin color is a polygenic trait and they wouldn't be that dark.

of course it is possible if you had EVERY gene with 1 dominant black, 1 recessive white in parents.

just very very very unlikely

>> No.2799629

so is it possible for parent of Caucasian and Asian give birth to a black kid?

>> No.2799632

Well the liberal rainbow defense force has shown up.

Funny thing though, if this were reversed and the white parents had a black baby, everyone would automatically assume the wife cheated, but in this case everyone is falling over trying to prove this true.

Some of you probably think it was just as likely for the black parents to have an asian baby with a flat face and yellow skin

>> No.2799635

but skin color is incompletely dominant.

>> No.2799640

>>2799603
you should learn to genetics.

we all have all the genes to code for all the possible skin colors.
It's just the expression that varies.

>> No.2799648

Evolution? LOL

>> No.2799655

>>2799635
because it has 6 or 7 genes

each individual gene is completely dom/recessive

but taken together these 6 or 7 seem to produce a continuum, the incomplete dominance you mention

basically the binomial curve applies. looks continuous but is actually discrete

this has happened. and no one is falling over themselves to prove it is *true*. people are showing the science of how it is *possible*.

Ok, this is an old story, the girl is now at least 6 month old and the father has already asked for a DNA test, wich the girl passed.
