Multicolored Twins

Brisbane twins, Alicia and Jasmin are part of an exclusive worldwide club because one was born white and the other is black.

Born five months ago to a mum of Jamaican-English heritage and a dad with a German background, the twins are remarkable because of the drastic difference in their skin colours.

From the NY Times:

The girls were conceived and born naturally. Experts say the odds against twins developing different racial features are astronomical.

"It's probably a million to one," geneticist Dr. Stephen Withers told The Daily Mail of London newspaper. "It's a terrifically rare phenomenon."
