From the moment a child is born, the never-ending debate starts whether the newborn look like his/her mom or dad. While growing up, many of us would have also experienced the same; people saying that your hair looks just like your dad’s. It is natural to have inherited looks and traits from our parents and other family members. It is because of the passing down of genes. Some families also have special birthmarks, unusually shaped fingers and some eye color that gets passed down to generations.
There also occurs a thing called genetic recombination. This causes the mixing of genes between two parents and therefore, a child looks very different from their parents. We don’t see children that look exactly like their parents or their family member. It might confuse you but there exist people who look like their family member and the similarities are striking. Today, we bring you a compilation of 18 such people who look like copies of their family members.
