i recently heard that every human has 4- 7 duplicates... whether it is looks or character.... you have similar humans... maybe of different race or religion.... but the premise is that they either look like you or they have exactly same character as you or both... i tried to reseach about this i couldn't get any info onthe net... if n e one has an idea pls give me your links

It's based on math. Humans have 25,000 or so genes, most of those genes have a limited number of alleles, so there are only so many combinations of possible alleles. Some people have estimated that there are only 1 to 1.5 billion possible different combinations of alleles in humans. If this is the case, then mathematically, about 4 to 7 individuals have the same gene set as you do.
Personally, I think this theory is not founded on fact, mostly on speculation.
