Wild
Two mixed race parents produce twins -- one looks white, one looks black. Wild.
If we could get a bunch of these kids we could learn alot about the effects of skin color on people. Alas, I doubt we'll ever be able to accumulate a large enough sample (although the comments to the original article suggest that maybe we can).
What do we think would have happened to mixed race twins in ancient times or the middle ages or in the South during slavery? Clearly, there weren't alot of mixed race parents to draw from, but can you even imagine? How do you process this if you don't understand genetics?
