Not super surprising.
i had a friend who would categorize people into tribes... for those who looked alike... if you are one in a million, than there are about 8000 identical to you out there.
Papa was a rolling stone.....
My three children have all been mistaken for others (usually famous people) at some point or another. The oldest resembles (or did at one time) Adam Levine, and he hates the comparison. My daughter has been chased by paparazzi for resembling Rashida Jones. Our youngest has been told he looks like a young Tom Petty. I guess it can be a curse or a blessing.
“ DNA analyses of 16 look-alike couples have revealed some unrelated people with super similar faces also have similar heights, weights, habits, and behaviors.”
So people who resemble each other resemble each other. That’s about it, right?
God has a large number of different cookie-cutters He uses for creating men. It’s a large, but finite, number. With women, choices are far more limited. For instance, they all get the same model of brain.
This fits in with the notion of that the difference between the races is not color. In fact, color may be the least consequential aspect of the differences in the races. We are not fusing into a singular population, we are actually slowly diffusing. Blacks and whites were more or less from the same culture in the 50s. 70 years later we are more Balkanized and different than ever. Indeed, in 1962 it was possible for a black baby boy to grow up to be president. Today? Maybe less so.
It's and interesting phenomena, regardless.
Wil Ferrell and (Red Hot Chillipeppers) drummer Chad Smith?
I told her it WASN’T me...
I have a doppleganger.
He looked like me, almost to a T.
Get this...
He had the same name as me.
We met in 1977 in Istanbul. Freaked me out...and the people I was with.
We kept in touch for about five years and did some stupid stuff.
Lost contact about 15 years ago.
Weird.

During the time I was separated from my first husband, I went back to my home county. Even though I wasn’t in the same town, I kept being mistaken for some girl I had heard of during my teen years.
One guy was so sure I was her he kept calling me by her name. I had the answer to it — she was actually my first cousin once removed. If she still looks like me all these years later, I feel sorry for one of us!
‘Face
;o]
I have a doppelganger that lives near me. We drove the same old beat up truck, and even had the same model and color. Got rid of that truck, and then I see him around with a new truck nearly identical to my new one. We both sort of stare at each other when we pass on the road. Even a police officer thought I was his buddy until he got real close for a handshake. It’s real weird.
It’s foolish to think that anyone specific DNA, like for blue eyes, serves only one function.
This is the danger of messing with DNA to address physical issues. We don’t know what else those genes control and what the outcome of changing them would be.
It gets weirder. It turns out that we were both at Da Nang AB at the same time when he was killed.
The memory of this lingered for a long time. I felt guilty giving her hope where there was none.
Some people simply look like a lot of other people. One of my sons had many doppelgangers. Once, in his teens, another teen snapped a photo of him and sent it to someone. Moments later, that someone sent back his own photo with a shocked expression on his face. They looked exactly alike. But, doppelgangers are not always fun. One of his doppelgangers was always in serious trouble. I constantly worried my son could be mistaken for that one.
