The world is full of similar people who are not tied by blood ties. How is it possible that two people, born and raised in different parts of the world, look like two drops of water? Is there a clear scientific explanation for this phenomenon?
People who are similar to each other and are not related at the same time - is this possible? It turns out, yes. A French photographer once had a great idea. He found and captured on photographic film similar people who were not connected by any blood ties. His name is François Brunellet. It took him about twelve years to complete his idea. The photographer was tracking people with a terrible similar features all over the world and helped them find their counterparts. Some photos of similar people from the work of François Brunellet are presented in this article. Carefully study the proposed images and compare how many similarities are completely strangers who do not have consanguinity.
Every person in this world has 7 doubles
It is said that every person in this world has at least seven very similar people. One can easily agree that this assumption is rather frightening and unnatural. It is hardly possible to find two exact copies on our planet, identical as two drops of water. Even blood twins have traits that, at least a little, but enable others to distinguish them, not to mention a stranger who lives on the other side of the Earth.
Not the same, but, nevertheless, incredibly similar people still meet, and not as rare as it might seem. They live in different cities, countries, continents, lead a completely different way of life. They do not have common genes, differ in language and culture, but their similarity really cannot be denied.
The same appearance - the same character?
We all know that there are similar people. Is this a purely superficial resemblance? Can a person and his counterpart from another country have the same character traits and type of activity? It would be strange and surprising at the same time. In fact, it happens in different ways. For example, once upon a time there lived in Rome one emperor named Maximinus (early 4th century AD), and so, looking at his bust, you can see in his features a dictator familiar to everyone from the 20th century - Adolf Hitler. These similar people not only had the same facial features, but both were dictators in their time, and both perished ingloriously.
It is rather difficult to answer this question, modern science has no exact answers, there are only guesses. One of the most likely versions is the one that explains the external similarity of complete strangers by an identical genetic device. For an unclear reason to date, similar people have identical DNA to the smallest detail.
These twins are also called biogenic. This means that they have the same gene material, but their biological parents are different. It so happens that people can be similar and live in different places at the same time and be the same age. Some may be separated by years, centuries, and even whole millennia. Natural diversity, it turns out, is not limitless, there are billions of people in the world, and there is always a chance of random coincidence of genetic sets.
Secret relationship
Scientists believe it is quite possible that similar people are very, very distant relatives. By resorting to elementary metematic analysis, one can make the following calculations: the average citizen after eight generations will be the descendant of 256 relatives who, in one way or another, are related by blood ties. If we imagine that 40, 50 or more generations have passed, the relatives will number in the millions. And no one knows where the genetic material will coincide, at what generation.
In card jargon, genes are shuffled like cards in a deck, but at a certain moment, the same "hands" fall out with a minimum probability. Then doubles are born, people who are similar to each other, like two drops of water. Perhaps nature has its own plans in this regard, its own secret goals.
Finding doubles on the web
Today on the world wide web there are many sites with the help of which you can find an exact copy of yourself from a photograph among the stars of show business, great emperors and historically significant leaders. They are also looking for their counterparts among the most ordinary people of their different cities and states. you just need to upload your photo in a certain format, and after a while the search engines will be able to pick up a couple of twins for you, or at least people who will be very similar to you.
Such sites are quite popular, because in fact it is interesting to know, and even more so to see your twin. It's like meeting yourself in parallel world... Before the advent of the Internet, this was almost impossible to do, but now there are many opportunities for active search, and why not take advantage of them?
Miracles, and only
Doubles are a phenomenon that is interesting in and of itself. People are more or less accustomed to the similarity of blood twins and granddaughters and their grandmothers, but to meet a person who is exactly like another person, who is not related to him, and even lives thousands of kilometers away, this is already more interesting.
Who knows, maybe in the future scientists will figure out how to use this freak of nature. It is likely that the similarity of genomes could open up incredible prospects in the field of medicine such as transplantation. As biologists assure, the chance of exact coincidence of genetic sets tends to zero endlessly. However, partial copying of genes is quite normal, which proves that all of humanity is one big family.

According to statistics, there are at least seven people who are similar in appearance in the world, but the likelihood that they will ever meet is very small. However, this does not mean that it is zero. Miracles happen. The similarity of some absolutely strangers to each other is noted by the whole world, because these are similar celebrities. Their appearance is almost identical, so it is easy to confuse them. This effect is not achieved with the help of makeup, hairstyles or plastics - the magic of nature and nothing more!
Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman
It is worth starting with the most famous comparison, because these two similar celebrities are a Hollywood phenomenon! Both beauties, talented actresses and incredible women. They are worth topping a list called "Who's Like Who From Celebrities." The photo is presented below.
Natalie Portman is four years older than Keira Knightley, and therefore her career began earlier. It was a Star Wars movie. In it, Miss Portman got the role of Queen Amidala. Miss Knightley later played her doppelganger in the Star Wars saga.
Now both Natalie and Kira are in-demand actresses. Both of them have an Oscar on their account, and Natalie also received a Golden Globe for her work. But it makes no sense to compare their victories. It remains only to marvel at the similarity and beauty of the girls who, despite the "ducks" of the paparazzi, are not at all "twins separated in childhood."
and Zooey Deschanel
These two sparkle on the red, but still they have chosen a slightly different field of activity. Katie is an outrageous and talented singer, and Zoe is an equally talented actress who became famous for her roles in "500 Days of Summer" and the TV series "New Girl". But for some reason the second is often compared with the first, and not vice versa. Although more recently, Katie complained on her blog that she was hailed on the street as Zooey Deschanel, which, apparently, she did not like at all.
Well, similar faces of celebrities haunt either fans or paparazzi. But these girls have a sin to complain - both beauties are pleasing to the eye. Although both Zoe and Katy prefer their individuality to similarities: just as Perry reacted sharply to the case described above, Deschanel has repeatedly complained about such "attention" from the singer's fans. Probably, there is something in this, because you always want to appreciate your work, and not someone completely alien, albeit famous.
Jennifer Morrison and Ginnifer Goodwin
Celebrities who are similar to each other have the right to use their similarities. This is exactly what Jennifer Morrison and Ginnifer Goodwin did in ABC's Once Upon a Time, as they played mother and daughter, respectively. In life, girls are close friends and often appear (including work debt) together on the carpets of Hollywood. There is indeed something subtly similar in their features that cannot be overlooked. Some character traits, apparently, also coincided, since both get along so well with each other.
Interestingly, Miss Goodwin's real name is also Jennifer, she officially changed it. And so the girlfriends of the actresses would have found another similarity. Is it possible that this is confirmation of the theory that the name affects the fate and personality of a person? This is very much like her proof.
By the way, celebrity counterparts not related by blood confirm another hunch: that people who are similar in appearance choose similar professions. So, if you have a desire to find your "twin", then the field of activity is the main reference point.
Javier Bardem and Jeffrey Dean Morgan
Not only Hollywood girls have found twins: the similarities of some male actors are also quite remarkable. Javier Bardem and Jeffrey Dean Morgan are sometimes difficult to tell apart. Whether a hairstyle, or a wide smile, or a beard - the point is not how they look alike, but how much.
It cannot be stated directly that one is clearly more successful than the other, but the fact remains - Bardem has already received his Oscar, and Morgan has not even planned it yet.
Milla Jovovich and Linda Evangelista
The actress and model are two beauties whose similarities are simply striking. It is complemented by a similar style of clothing and makeup, which makes the girls almost indistinguishable from one another. And this despite the fact that Linda Evangelista is a successful and still in demand model, 10 years older than her "twin". Well, that clearly does her credit. But Millet, whose career went up after "Resident Evil" and "The Fifth Element", has nothing to be ashamed of comparing with the one who can afford to get out of bed only for a fee of ten thousand dollars.
Ms. Jovovich and Ms. Evangelista may not even know each other, but they are clear representatives of the list called "Who looks like whom from celebrities." A photo of them is presented above in the article.
Matt Bomer and Henry Cavill
Outwardly similar celebrities - actors Matt Bomer and both drove girls from all over the world crazy. Mr. Bomer played a charismatic criminal in White Collar, and Mr. Cavill easily got used to the role of Superman.
But guys take different sides not only on the screen, but also in the real world. And if Harry's fans still have a chance to settle in his heart, while he is in search of "the one", the one and only, then with Matt everything is much more unambiguous - his heart is already occupied, and a man. Bomer does not hide his preferences, he has a strong relationship with the writer Simon Hall, and the couple are raising three children together.
Bradley Cooper and Ralph Fiennes
All celebrities alike cannot be listed without mentioning these two enviable Hollywood beauties. Ralph Fiennes is familiar to many from the magical epic about Harry Potter, in which he played the main villain, Voldemort. Of course, with a layer of makeup on his face and after applying CGI in these films, he doesn't even look like himself. But in the world he and Bradley, who conquered female hearts after the famous "Bachelor Party in Vegas" and "My Boyfriend Is A Crazy", have the same deep blue eyes and an over-the-top smile. The similarity intensifies when both appear in photographs with similar hairstyles - slightly regrown hair, here very few people will be able to distinguish between them.
Angelina Jolie and Tiffany Klaus
Despite the fact that Jolie is often compared to Megan Fox, Tiffany Klaus looks much more like a famous actress in her appearance: the same cheekbones, eyes and unforgettable lips are the dream of any girl. In this case, however, Angelina clearly wins in fame. It is not for nothing that Tiffany is called a double on the Web, and not vice versa.
on celebrities
But, just as doubles are found on screens and red carpet, some of the idols have "twins" who did not build a dizzying career as actors, singers and models. it ordinary peoplelooking like celebrities. For example, a girl who looks like a copy of Katy Perry. By the way, her name is Francesca Brownie. Or the second Rihanna from Instagram named Andel Laura. Also in Uruguay there was a fourteen-year-old "Cara Delevingne". The real name of the star "twin" is Olivia Hurd. The similarity with the model brought her thousands of new subscribers on Instagram, so she is only glad for him.

Introduction
From the very moment the baby is born, parents begin to look for their traits in him.
And, as a rule, a discussion begins, whose heredity the child received, who he looks like on the line of his father or mother.
Goals and objectives of the work: find answers to the following questions:
Who am I like?
Why does one person look like a father and another like a mother?
And how are all people on Earth alike?
The search for the answer prompted me to turn to encyclopedias, reference books, Internet resources, where I could find the information I needed.
Main part
2.1. What is heredity?
Every organism, be it a plant, fish, animal, or person, bears a resemblance to its parents, but nonetheless differs from them. For example, children may be like dad or mom, but they usually have some of the traits of each parent. The point is that parents pass on certain properties to their children, and children "inherit" them. So, heredity is the ability of organisms to transmit their characteristics and developmental characteristics to their offspring. Thanks to this ability, all living things retain characteristic features in their descendants.
Gene and genetics
Genetics is the science of the laws of heredity and variability of organisms and methods of managing them.
All basic traits and properties of organisms are controlled and determined by units of hereditary information -genes .
2.3. Why are we like parents?
Genes carry all the information about a person: from gender to eye color. In this case, the child carries both paternal and maternal genes. Whose genes are more pronounced, he will be more like that. And the combination of these genes can sometimes give a person completely new properties. No wonder folk wisdom reads: "My son, and he has his own mind."
Practical part
3 . "Meet me" (Appendix 1)
3.1 . I have an external resemblance to my mother: brown eyes, dark skin, medium height, straight hair, but we are more similar in our qualities: we are energetic, hardworking, purposeful, emotional.
I, like my mother, study well at school and draw beautifully.(Appendix 2)
If you compare us with dad, you can see that we are like two peas in a pod. We have the same face shape, nose shape, brown hair and physique. This means that in my heredity it was his genes that showed up more clearly.(Appendix 3)
Family hobbies
From their parents, a child can inherit their behavioral characteristics, inclinations, talent, hobbies, character traits.
In our family, we love to do crafts with our own hands. Like my mother, I love to draw, sew soft toys. Dad is fond of football. I love skating and cycling, in winter my mother and I go to the forest, go skiing.(appendix 4)
Where do "doubles" come from
Scientists who long time were engaged in deciphering the human gene code, suggested that it was genetic code is the "culprit" of the birth of outwardly identical people, who are called doubles in the common people.
The most amazing thing is that the doubles do not have to be distant or immediate relatives. IN recent times there are more cases when a person finds his double on the other side of the earth. This confirms once again that man is a unique and mysterious creature.
4.1. Surnames and names of similar celebrities(Appendix 5)
Conclusion
The tasks set by me in this work have been solved: heredity cannot but worry a person.
Expanding my knowledge of genetics, I learned a lot of interesting things about heredity.
I found the features of my relatives.
She found out that each race has within itself from 400 to 600 different genera, distinguished genetically. So there isn't much variation within race and gender, given the total population of planet Earth. This is the main reason for the similarity of people who are not relatives.

Objective of the project
Find the answer to the questions:
Who am I like?
Why does one man look like a father, and
the other - to mom?
And how are all people on Earth alike?
Every organism, be it a plant, fish, beast or
a person who resembles his parents, but
no less different from them. For example, children can
be like dad or mom, but usually they have
some of the traits of each parent. It's all about
that parents pass on certain
properties,
and
children
"Inherit"
them.
So,
heredity is the ability of organisms
convey their signs and features of development
offspring. Thanks to this ability, all living
creatures retain in their descendants the characteristic
features. "Gene" and "genetics"
Genetics is the science of the laws of heredity and
variability of organisms and methods of their control.
All the main signs and properties of organisms
controlled and defined by units
hereditary information - genes. Genetics is the science of the laws of heredity and variability
organisms and methods of their control. All major
traits and properties of organisms are controlled and
defined by units of hereditary
information - genes. Why are we like parents?
Genes carry all the information about
person: from gender to eye color.
At the same time, the child carries in himself both
paternal and maternal genes.
Whose genes are more pronounced, on
that he will look more like. AND
the combination of these genes can sometimes
give a person brand new
properties. No wonder folk wisdom
reads: "My son, and he has his own mind." Meet me! This is my sister Stephanie
Outwardly, my sister and I are very
similar. We have inherited from
parents:
Light blond hair
.Green eyes This is my dad
Sergey Ivanovich
If you can compare us
see what we are like.
We have the same oval face
eye color, nose shape, light
light brown hair, dark skin.
So in my
heredity is brighter
it was his genes that showed up. That's my mom:
Svetlana Yurievna. With mom
I also have external
similarity: hair color, cut
eye, but we are more alike
by our qualities: we
energetic,
purposeful,
emotional. “We all stand on our shoulders
ancestors "
A child can inherit from their parents
features of behavior, inclinations, talent, hobbies,
traits. In our family, we love to do
DIY crafts. Mom is a wonderful decorator.
Crafts ideas for school exhibitions are hers. AND
we all help her. Our family is very fond of
travel. We go to the sea every summer. Still all
our family is fond of music, I play the piano,
and my sister sings. Where do they come from
"Doubles"?
Where do "doubles" come from? Scientists who are
time spent decoding the human genome code,
suggested that the genetic code is
The "culprit" of the birth of externally identical people,
which are called doubles by the common people. The most
the amazing thing is that doubles don't have to be
distant or close relatives. IN
Recently, cases have become more frequent when their
man finds a double on the other side of the earth. This is still
once confirms that a person is a creature
unique and mysterious.
