  • In June 2015, a photograph purportedly showing the world's darkest baby began circulating on the internet. Social Trends PH, one of the first web sites to post the image, didn't provide any information about the photograph other than claiming that it was taken in South Africa: The earliest online appearance of this picture we could uncover dated from on 10 June 2015, when it was posted by Twitter user @NaimHumphrey, in a tweet that was also void of information other than the oft repeated South Africa claim. So where did this photograph come from? Was the world's darkest baby really born in South Africa? While we were not able to uncover the specific origins of the photograph, we were able to determine that the figure shown in the image is not a baby at all, but a doll: The doll was created by Breath of Heaven artist Lilah Pearsons: Pearson's website and her eBay store show several examples of similar small dolls.
