In season one of the TV show, Eddard Stark discovers the book which the previous Hand was after. It contains the family trees and descriptions of the houses of Westeros; he discovers that people from house Baratheon usually are dark-haired. However, Joffrey is blonde. Eddard seems to conclude that Robert cannot be Joffrey's father.
If I recall correctly, this conclusion is incorrect according to human genetics; the dark-haired Robert and the blonde Cersei could very well have blonde children. Is this true? Does human heredity simply work differently in Westeros?
