Some people look so much like their family it’s like they’ve been copied and pasted. But they don’t always get their looks from their parents; sometimes, they’re the spitting image of a grandparent or even great-grandparent. This proves that genetics are way more complicated than we thought and can even travel through time.
Now I’ve Seen Everything is amazed at how genes work, and we thank the people who shared the magic of genetics with the world.
