Antonio Matteo I’ve read many books about history, couldn’t get the full gist of people’s opinions on identical twins. Thus, the question: what have people historically thought about identical twins? No offense! Tell me if you you know.
[deleted] Antonio Matteo Antonio Matteo Here are some myths about twins (some true and some false): Identical twins have extrasensory perception (false) A mother’s eating of yams and various other dietary items increases the chances of twins (maybe true) Old mothers are more likely to have fraternal twins than young mothers (true) My father was a fraternal twin and my grandmother had him when she was around 36 (that was considered old in 1918), when most first time mothers were in their mid to late teens. Twins can look racially diverse (true) Opposite gender twins can be identical (false). Although they may have similar features, but not identical. The fingerprints of identical twins are also identical (false). Identical twins can share similar emotional and character traits (true when younger, but their character and emotional traits may change as they age; in addition, there usually is one who is a tad more dominate than the other) Twin was an outcome of adultery. One legitimate and the other, mostly one who came last, was deemed illegitimate. (false) That siamese twins were outcome of being touched by demons during. Or demon sex with the mother of the twins. And so on….
