To illustrate these phenomena, let us suppose a roaming Englishman in some remote island to have two wives one a black-haired/red-skinned Indian, the other a woolly-headed/sooty-skinned negress; and that instead of the children being mulattoes of brown or dusky tints, mingling the characteristics of each parent in varying degrees, all the boys should be as fair-skinned and blue-eyed as their father, while the girls should altogether resemble their mothers.
