actually there are more than 7. people who look like you are very very common. harry potter looks almost exactly like my cousin, while jamie yeo looks very much like my sister...Originally posted by mistyblue:nothing scientific anout my post but I have many folks who come and tell me they look their their friend or sister or someone they know but cannot put a finger on. Its amazing how often I hear that and I hear that with every new person I come to know. But I know the old folks would tell you in this world, they claim there would be about 7 persons who would look like any 1 individual. I do not know how they came up with the number or the claim.

yep this may also explain reincarnation...Originally posted by starblue:some rare times in history. a gal will resemble a lot like her grandmother (having inherited the full 23 chromosomes from her maternal side). it happens when the chromosomes line up at the equator at metaphase 1 during meiosis such that all maternal chromosomes are at the same side.
thus some superstitious people believe that the spirit of the deceased grandma has gone into the baby.
it is rare. but not that rare also.
its comforting to know that there might be someone with the same face as me understanding the agony of being so uglyOriginally posted by SixSentinels:There are 64 billion genetic combinations to how a human being looks/is, so basically there are 64 billion ways the human genes can be combined. This means that there is actually a possibility that someone may have had or will have a genetically identical twin in the past or future. In mankind's history, over 60 billion people have lived and died. Genetic mutations have raised the number of combinations, until it has reached the number 64 billion. This may explain the extremely bizzare phenomenon of the Doppelgangers, where people have seen others who look like them, with exactly the same facial features and lifestyle habits. They were initially thought of to be the spirit of the living person manifesting in the physical realm. But, reading through what I've mentioned, you'll think that it has a more scientific(genetic) than spiritual explanation. Any thoughts on this?
no, its comforting that your face isnt unique and that it'll live on long long after you've passed on.Originally posted by bluewinged:its comforting to know that there might be someone with the same face as me understanding the agony of being so ugly![]()
