25 years ago I was in a video store and saw my boss. I kept attempting to make eye contact but there was absolutely no recognition on his part. I didn’t know what to think but chalked it up to not being at work and/or him being engrossed in deciding what to rent.

I mentioned it to him at work the next week and learned his twin brother was in town visiting and that was who I saw at the video rental store. I did not know up to that time that he was a twin.

We make our faces. Especially as we grow older.

By the time you hit forty your face is what you have designed it with your expressions and habits.

This was known centuries ago.

Maybe they are actually the same person using two different IDs and the differences are due to errors in the DNA test.

I once knew a guy who looked so much like Tom Petty, not a day went by without someone asking if he was him. He got all the downside of being famous...getting stared at, bugged for autographs, etc., but none of the upside, (millions of dollars, applause, etc.)

My son could easily play TP in a movie if they made one without the footage of Tom. He’s a bass player in a band, but also plays guitar. He knows how to move cause that’s part of performing for an audience.

Dumb study.

If the didn’t have similar life habits, their appearances would not look so similar and be included in the study.

If one person eats healthy and weight 170 lbs, and the other weighs 250, you probably would never notice that they would otherwise look very similar.

My son was a Macauly Culkin look alike. The first home alone movie, at that age, they look like twins. As adults, still very similar, but son is more muscular.

Interesting.   Several years ago I searched for my own name on the internet.   My surname is not that common, the 2,484th most popular according to one website.   I found a man in Texas which was a shocking doppelganger.   Apparently he passed away not long after I first saw him on a website.   In this we probably shared DNA from as little as five or six generations ago but it was still a surprising moment for me.

In the Pittsburgh area, where there are many descendants of Russian and Slavic immigrants, I met a fellow about fifty years of age who looked amazingly like Vladimir Putin. I finally said that to him and the people around him laughed. He said he gets that comment all the time and people even ask to be photographed with him. Yes, he is of East European ancestry.

My son that looks like a young TP also looked like Macaulay Culkin when he was 7 or 8. Slicked his wet blond hair back, put water on his face (instead of after shave) and screamed. We all thought it was funny at the time. I bet he doesn’t like the comparison now. Does yours?

My mother’s brother’s son married a woman who looked like she could be my sister. She had the same last name as mine too.

Her family had been in Ireland for centuries. My family came from England. If our families had a common ancestor, it would have to have been over 600 years ago.

I dated a guy once who could have been my brother. He too had the same last name. But his father’s family came from France.
