i am no expert, but i do know that many black babies are whitish/peach or chalky when born, and the skin darkens gradually. the hair curls tighten as well.

keep in mind that the majority of african americans have some degree of caucasian blood, so this may be a factor too. whatever the case, it's a neat phenomenon to see the xenotype expressed characteristics alter over time.

Can an African American newborn look like this?

yes, and some african american babies are born with lighter and paler skin than that, all of my children had very light skin at birth and very thin hair, but after 1 month old their skin started to darken and their hair fell out at 4 months old and grew back longer and thicker. Old wives tale is that if you look at the color of the babies ears, it usually tells how dark the baby's skin is going to get.

I guess so. How else would you expect one to look like?

If by the hair you mean "curly", they probably gelled it or wet it down for the picture. Or maybe that is just what his/her hair is like.

It is more that possible for a person to

be100% of the African-American (AA)

ETHNIC group (i.e. born of two parents

who are members of the AA ETHNIC

group) -- AND YET -- ALSO -- be

of a 100% continually-Mixed-Race

lineage (meaning they can be bi-racial,

tri-racial, etc.) WITH THE RESULTING

WIDE RANGE OF APPEARANCES .

In fact, more than 70% of the people born to two AA

parents have an ancestral lineage that includes

+25% European and +20-30% Amerindian.

A surprisingly high number of full-AAs are not even

mono-racially 'Black' at all -- but rather, are in fact

of 'Casco', 'Griffe', 'Mulatto', 'Metis', etc. lineage.

It should also be kept in mind that --- the largely

(+70%) Multi-Racially 'Mixed' ETHNIC group

currently labeled as African-American (AA)

--- IS NOT the same people grouping as the

Mono-Racially 'Black' RACE group that

is known as Black-American (BA).
