"The fact that two persons, totally unrelated to each other, sometimes born in different countries, share the same physical appearance is really the essence of the project."

While they share some face shapes and coloring, to me, none of them look alike enough to confuse them. And I know 3 sets of identical twins whom I still can’t tell apart. These people do not even look related. It is interesting photographically but nothing of deep wonder to me.

Identical twins do not look the same to me.

(Almost) Exactly alike. The difference is in energy and intelligence, not in appearance or level of evil.

We’ll be watching TV and I’ll say something like “That actress looks like Helen Hunt.”

With a quiet gaze over her glasses she’ll say “Umm. Well - they’re both blonde I guess.”

There usually are slight differences.

Interesting fact about their genetics - as they age, different sets of genes in their DNA get turned on and off.
So they grow apart - and might end up having different medical histories and physiological traits, diseases, etc.
Epigenetics.

There’s a lot of study going on now especially between twins where one gets a disease and the other doesn’t. I know a guy in his late 60’s, his identical twin brother died from Alzheimers, and my friend has zero symptoms.

It is hoped they can find the keys to immunity for some of the diseases that might be hidden in the genetic code.
