They named their son Cash Jamal Buckman, but after publishing the photo on the Internet, instead of congratulations, they read unfavorable comments. The reason is their newborn baby’s darker skin. Internet users believe that he should take a DNA test.
They had a black son, although they are both white. “I hope you really are his father.”
Rachel and Paul welcomed a black son into the world. There would be nothing strange about it if it weren’t for the fact that they are both white. How could this happen? Well, it turns out that Rachel has African-American roots – her great-grandfather was black, and genetics can be perverse. Paul assured that he took a paternity test and Cash Jamal Buckman is definitely his son. Not all Internet users believe in the assurances.
Dude, do a DNA test. I wish you luck.
I hope you really are his father.
Who does the child inherit its skin color from? The expert explains how much depends on genes
As it turns out, this is not an isolated case of white parents being able to welcome people of color into the world. The matter was explained in an interview with Prof. Ph.D. n. med. Ewa Ziętkiewicz, geneticist from the Institute of Human Genetics of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The expert explained that skin color depends on the presence of the pigment melanin, which is dependent on 120 genes. – Each of these genes can occur in a “dark” and “light” variant. Skin color will be the result of the interaction of variants of all these genes received from parents, she said. She also added that if there was only one black ancestor in a person’s pedigree, the darker gene may appear even in the fifth generation.
