Why do you mostly hear of people giving birth to white and black twins in Europe? whether the couple be both biracial or one black and one white? I can't even recall anything like that happening in America to where one twin comes out looking white and the other looking black. Anyone noticed this? |
because america won't report anything like that. she's a very racist country more so than any european country. Americans especially some white ones don't want to hear about black people giving birth to white babies because then they will have to face the truth... that we all came from a black person
just look at the nigerian couple who gave birth to that ugly *** pink baby... you think the american
media made a little mention of that? NOPE! Hopefully that baby will get some color and become beautiful like the siblings. |
Why are there so few black twins? It just seems like there are fewer black twins than anything else. Why is this? |
Actually it is quite the opposite.
Statistically the highest rate of twins is in West Africa - see link below: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin |
Why do black women have twins more than white women? I have seen so many black women having twins, more so than any other race.
anybody have an explanation? |
| Actually, they do have a higher chance of naturally occuring twins. It's a genetic factor, just like they have an increased risk of sickle cell anemia compared to caucasian, Asian, or Mediterreanan women. |
Can you find this book for me, two twins, one white, one black? I think it might have dealt with slavery, or one being favored by the father, or something. On the other hand, this just may have been a dream, but I remember reading it. I'm so confused. Just, does anyone no of a book where there are twins (boys, I think, but maybe girls) and one twin is white, and one twin is black. |
| there is a book that exists but im sooo sorry i cant remember the name!! its by some author names something Williams i saw the book in a airport in CT |
What is amazing about the "black and white" twins in the UK? Can someone explain to me the rarity behind the twins that are different colors? To me since the girls are fraternal, then it's very possible for them to have different skin tones since they are of mixed background. Since each egg that is fertilized carries it's own genetic makeup then why would we expect mixed race fraternal twins to be the same color. Black people could give birth to dark or light skinned guyren depending on their gene pool. So, if a black mother gives birth to fraternal twins they wouldn't have to come out the same color. |
| It's the fact that one guy seemingly inherited her phenotype exclusively from recessive genes (light eyes,skin and hair). The other guy seemingly received her phenotype from dominant genes (darker eyes, skin and hair). The chances of that happening are very slim. The fact that it happened twice is nothing short of remarkable. While I'll admit that a substantial amount of the shock value comes from how irrationally color-struck and racial our perceptions are, things like that don't happen everyday. |
What do you think about the couple in UK that had black and white twins? It's rare and so incredible. Twin sisters and one white and one black. |
Biologically, it's not so remarkable The ONLY factor that goes into our skin tone is ancestry: what geographic location did your folks originate from. It literally is possible for a couple to turn "black" by living in Africa if enough ancestry had past. Race is not a scientific fact -- it's a social concept.
But it is pretty neat :) |
Why is it interesting to have black / white twins? They are fraternal and just like any other sister and brother in the family so why is there such a media uproar over the color difference and some say its a one in a million thing? Is it still one in a million if they were not twins but regular sister/brothers born of different colors? |
The chances are one in a million that this woman in the UK would have these babies - they're black and white twins. Baby Kaydon has dark hair, brown eyes and brown skin - his brother Layton is blonde-haired, blue-eyed with pale skin. The mother is of English-Nigerian heritage and the babies' father is white.
Because the babies were in the womb at the same time. It is pretty amazing that one is white and one is black. |
How can black twins find out whether they are mirror image? I've heard of mirror image identical twins, you can tell by looking at the way their hair curls. But with black twins, their hair is so curly you can't really see the direction of the curls. Or am i wrong? |
Trying a few words, since the real answer isn't working.
Hmm, that worked. Now part of the real answer:
Do some research on it. But be careful to separate the fact from the folklore and legend. You're probably talking about identical twins, monozygotic (one egg), late-splitting (after about a week). It might be just developmental instability. The genetics are identical, so any difference would be epigenetics or something that isn't genetic at all. About 25% of identical twins show some form of mirror-imaging. Reversal of internal organs (situs inversus) is rare, with hearts on opposite sides of the body. It could take serious, detailed study of a pair to determine exactly which features are mirror-image and which are not.
Hmm, that worked too! Now to add the reference.
Hmm, that worked also. Oh the mysteries of computers. Thanks for the suggestions in response to my question, and perhaps to a fix. |
Does anyone know the two black twins that perform a show in atlantic city? It was on fourth of july that i went to atlantic city
and i saw these two black twins and tehy were reallllly funnny.
they did a comedy show with racist jokes and they were giving out dvd's for 20$ but i thoguht it wasn't worth it.
but now i reallly regret it.
can someone pleasee tell me if theres any video on anything about them on youtube? |
| You can find out from this website www.123world.com/atlantic-city/ Good Luck! |
What causes a mixed race couple with twins to have one baby look white and the other black? They always show it every couple years when it happens what is the cause of it. You got one black parent and one white parent or both parents are mixed themselves and one of there twins looks white and the other looks black; what causes that. |
The evolution of the different skin tones is thought to have occurred as follows: the haired primate ancestors of humans, like modern great apes, had light skin under their hair. When Hominids evolved relative hairlessness (the most likely function of which was to facilitate perspiration) , they evolved dark skin, needed to prevent low folate levels since they lived in sun-rich Africa. (The skin cancer connection is probably of secondary importance, since skin cancer usually kills only after the reproductive age and therefore does not exert much evolutionary selection pressure.) When humans migrated to less sun-intensive regions in the north, low vitamin D3 levels became a problem and light skin color re-emerged. (sexual selection and diet may well have played a part in the evolution of skin tone diversity, as well)
The Inuit and Yupik are special cases: even though they live in an extremely sun-poor environment, they have retained their relatively dark skin. This can be explained by the fact that their traditional fish-based diet provides plenty of vitamin D.
Human skin color can range from almost black (due to very high concentrations of the dark brown pigment melanin) to nearly colorless (appearing reddish white due to the blood in the skin) in different people. Skin color is determined by the amount and type of melanin, the pigment in the skin. Variation in skin color is largely due to genetic rather than environmental causes. As a general pattern people with ancestors from tropical regions (hence greater sunlight exposure) have darker skin than people with ancestors from subtropical regions. This is far from a hard and fast rule however, because many light skinned groups have managed to survive at the equator by way of social adaptation. The same can be said of dark skinned groups living at subtropical latitudes.
Melanin comes in two types: pheomelanin (red) and eumelanin (very dark brown). Both amount and type are determined by four to six genes which operate under incomplete dominance. One copy of each of those genes is inherited from each parent. Each gene comes in several alleles, resulting in a great variety of different skin tones.
So it's not solely a recessive dominant inheritance thing, like blood type. Fraternal twins can share 25% to 50% of their genes in common (depending on whether or not they were from a single divided egg or two separate eggs at the time of fertilization) Identical twins share 100% of their genes in common.
So with fraternal twins, it's perfectly possible for one to appear to be fairer skinned compared to the other. And their have been people with 100% African ancestry who have 'passed' for caucasians as well. |
