This article reminded me about a couple Aussies I encountered at Harrah’s while watching the Big Elvis show. They approached me because they said they had a friend back home who resembled me (probably the other way around to them). If I was that close of a match, my Midwestern accent must’ve convinced ’em their friend wasn’t stalking them. We exchanged e-mails and I received a photo a couple months later. It’s buried somewhere yet I couldn’t see the resemblance since it was a side view of the guy.
Meanwhile, the photos courtesy of Mental Floss are pretty impressive. Not to belittle the statistical incredibility of these pictures yet we have over seven billion living people on earth today and there is a limit on genetic combinations, “duplicate” humans were an inevitability. I’m confident, “under the hood” these people are very different via their DNA strands. According to Inquiring Minds, our genetics change with age, experience, so on. I know, duh! I just hadn’t thought about it too hard.
