Possibly.
However the more likely answer:
Superfecundation describes a situation where the eggs are fertilized by sperm from separate incidences of sexual intercourse. In a case where a woman has sex with different partners, the twins could have different fathers. The appropriate term to describe this situation is heteropaternal superfecundation.
Is one evil?
For a second I though this article was going to be about basketball.
Thanks to a rare quirk of nature, Lucy is the alabaster-skinned redhead, and Maria has their part-Jamaican mother's dark skin and hair.
Now stop calling me a racist Whitey! ...call me a racist Alabaster!
Seems to be a walking talking example of as punnett square.
They are simply fraternal twins with one inhereting their mom's dominant genes from her carribean ancestor, and thwe other one receiving the genes from their mom's white ancestor.
It’s interesting how people jump to another conclusion.
There are many examples of twins that look different. That doesn’t mean they have different fathers. Siblings from the same parents don’t always look alike.
There are also examples of brown-eyed babies born to blue-eyed parents. And those babies passed the paternity test.
This could be an extreme case resulting from the random assortment of genes from a single father OR fertilization of 2 eggs by 2 different fathers. The latter should be very easy to detect with simple genetic tests.
If one just focuses on skin and hair, they look different.
However they seem to be about the same height and build, and have similar facial shapes.
I have seen instances of 1/2 Asian kids, whereby one will look entirely Asian and the other not at all.
I have a good friend that is 1/2 Vietnamese, and facially he looks very Asian. But his body size and shape is big Nordic like his father. Great guy, too btw.
They look like twins and close sisters just by the same smiles and same temperament in their body language
sumtin ain’t right here boss.
“These families illustrate that we really are only one race”
Do you have any evidence at all to back up that observation, other than feel-goodism?
Behaviors have consequences.
Glad to see they have totally normal first names and not something weird like Ebony and Ivory.
Just because they are twins, it doesn’t mean they are of one race. I’m sorry to burst your bubble, but there are several races. It doesn’t mean anyone or anything is bad, it’s just the way things are.
My twin sister and I are similar in coloring to these girls — I have olive/dark skin, (had) very dark hair & brown eyes — my sister has very fair skin w/ freckles,(had) reddish hair and bright green eyes — our features are very similar, as are our kinetic behaviors, personalities and voices. Mom is 1/2 American Indian and Dad was Irish/Welsh/German — I got one side, sis got the other.
