My wife reads a lot of books about child raising. One interesting thing she told me was that if you listen to certain music it can have an effect on your child, such as classical music making them smarter.
My wife and I are both caucasian, and trace our ancestries back to Scandanavia. However my youngest son has very African features, including wavy hair and a VERY dark complexion.
My wife says this is because she listened to a lot of Bob Marley and Marvin Gaye during her pregnancy.
Is this possible?

No it isn't possible for music to infuence the skin color of your baby. It is possible that you may have FAR decendants with the same skin color as your child, although you and your wife are both light skinned. This rarely happens, but it does happen. As far as music influencing your baby's growth, most researches have found that it does work, but of course it is not a proven fact. Good luck!

It's nothing to do with music,it was her thinking,may be that time Bob Marley do to his music.Thanking make a lot of influence on baby, that is the reason they say put some nice baby pictures in pergnat woman's room so she can look on them and make a picture of that baby in mind.May be that can the reason she when she was listening his music his picture goes threw her mind.

Who....I mean what...was she doing while listening to these guys?
Your wife is either (a) terribly misguided about how music can affect the developing fetus or (b) trying to pull some excess sheep fur across your ocular sensors.
I'd grab a "home paternity test" kit and make sure it's the former, not the latter.

Wow, qnd I thought that I was naive. Music may help the development of the baby's mind, but it has nothing to do with skin color, eye color, or hair. She is playing you like a fiddle, if I were you, I would talk to her and find out who's baby you are raising, cuz it sure isn't yours.

All of the old reports about playing classical music to a fetus, called The Mozart Effect, have proven to be nothing but garbage.

Music is never going to alter someones DNA or genetics.
It does aid in the development of young children, but any music will do that, even sing-song or rock.

if your baby has african features - she has an affair and your baby is the result! Come on! Music cannot affect skin tone, nose size or hair texture!

It is possible for music to have an impact on a child, but it is NOT possible for it to make a supposedly Caucasian child look African. Your wife is BSing you.

The music stimulates the babies brain, and it is very good for them. But I am sorry, the type of music you listen to does not influnce their ethnicity. Please have a paternity test done.
Good Luck.
