In a Russian family, a dark-skinned child was born: Convinced that his wife had che:ated on him with someone exotic, the husband packed his things and disappeared.

As Marina Yuryeva gave birth to a son, her husband Igor was in sh0ck. The child, who was supposed to become the new member of their Slavic family, turned out to be dark-skinned, «How is this possible?» Igor thought. His bewilderment turned into suspicion and then into anger. Believing that his wife had che:ated on him, he packed his things and left.

Marina swore to her innocence. Doctors merely suggested that ancestral genes might have played a cruel joke. But how could this happen if there had never been such genetic surprises in their lineage?
