Black and White Twins

by Earl Morningstarr

A mixed race couple in Germany have become the proud parents of twin boys, Ryan, who came first, weighing 5.8 lbs, has light colored skin, blue eyes, and dark hair. His brother Leo, weighing 5.7 lbs, has dark skin and dark eyes.

Their mother, Florence Addo-Gerth is originally from Ghana and the father Stephan Gerth is a white native of Germany.

Medical staff at Berlin Hospital were surprised by the birth, but have confirmed the babies both have the same father.

Different coloured twins are extremely rare, even to mixed race parents. Doctors at the hospital believe this genetic surprise was only possible if one of Florence’s ancestors was white or one of Stephan’s ancestors were African.
