Do you think everyone in the world has a double?

Question

Thinking of the finite genetic combinations there are do you think it is fairly reasonable to assume that out there everyone has someone who looks uncannily like them. I am not talking about that they will have the same blood group and everything but just general looks. the fact that celebrities generally all have lookalikes of them supports this idea a bit.

What do you think?

Answer 1

When I was in the tenth grade, my world history teacher told me that he had taught my double at another school. He was new to our high school that year, and he said that at his former teaching job, he had been the varsity basketball coach. He said there was a point center on the team that looked almost exactly like me. According to him, the only major difference between the two of our appearances was that he was a bit taller than I was. In fact, he said that on the first day of school, he saw me in the hallway and thought, "Whoa, did that guy follow me to my new job?" I thought that was kind of cool.

Answer 2

Yeah! and I want to meet mine! I think that it's possible for there to be even more than just two people who look alike, sometimes you might even get four or five, as there are particular genes which are very common, as they're dominant genes, and so the more common dominant genetics you have, the more people there will be who look like you, which would be cool, but at the same time it's good to be unique looking so that everyone remembers you and you feel like an individual.

Answer 3

With as many people as there are in the world, it probably is safe to assume that most people have at least one other person in the world that looks like them. I have had strangers come up to me in public and tell me that I look just like their coworker, their son's friend, etc.

Answer 4

Right brain vs. leftbrain makes everyone double!
