Twins tend to look alike because they share the same DNA, grew up together, were dressed, and raised the same. However, being so similar to each other, even life is coincidental in every detail like Jim Lewis and Jim Springer in the story below is truly amazing.

In 1939, a mother in the state of Ohio, USA, due to poverty, had to give away her twin sons. The two families that adopted her children didn't know each other at all, except that they both lived in Ohio. Although this family does not know the other, they all named their adopted son Jim (one is Jim Lewis, the other is Jim Springer).

As children, both Jim boys had a habit of biting their nails and had a hard time sleeping. By the age of 18, they both suffered from migraines and later suffered from heart disease and hemorrhoids. Both have the same weight and have the same process of gaining and losing weight each year.

And the strange thing did not end when the two brothers grew up... Although one still didn't know anything about the other, they both studied police, had the same ability in the field of mechanical drawing and carpentry. Both brothers married a wife named Linda and later divorced. When they remarried, they both chose a wife named Betty. When they have a son, they all choose the name James to give their children. For many years, the Jim brothers took their wife and children on vacation to the same beach in Florida.

In addition, both of them have a unique hobby of drinking Miller Lite beer, smoking Salem brand cigarettes, love to watch racing and hate volleyball. In their spare time, they make their own wooden dolls in the workshop. In the garden they all have white chairs. And yet, the two brothers both own dogs and jointly named the animal Toy. Both drive a blue Chevys car to work.

In early 1979, when he learned that he had a twin brother, Jim Lewis decided to go look for him. Just six weeks later, he found Jim Springer's house and tried knocking on the door. And on February 9, 1979, brothers Jim Lewis and Jim Springer met for the first time. They were stunned when they thought they were looking in the mirror. Not only are they similar in appearance, they also have a strangely similar life as listed above.

The researchers also found that the IQ, facial expressions, electrical waves in the brain, and heart rate of the two Jim brothers were the same. More amazingly, their handwriting is also the same. In the end, these twins both died on the same day due to the same fatal disease.

When the story of the Jim brothers reached scientists, they decided to take a closer look. Scientists have used many research methods to find a conclusion for the question "Between birth and the care environment, which will affect the growth of children more?". Between 1979 and 1999, the team conducted experiments with more than 137 sets of twins, including the special case of the Jim brothers. These experiments have yielded more than 170 new hypotheses about the upbringing conditions of twins, as well as confirmed old theories of their predecessors. However, although these experiments can be said to be successful, scientists are still unable to answer why so far apart, the two Jim brothers can live so identically. . Does the environment have no effect on these twins? Or is there a stronger, more enduring bond between twins that we can't understand?

Another equally surprising case of twins occurred in Guizhou province, China. For a long time, girl Bao Lulin (24 years old) from Ben Cat town, Guizhou province, China was constantly mistaken for a certain Yanfei. Therefore, Lulin decided to find "his secret shadow".

The journey started in June 2009 with the help of a fruit trader. In October 2009, a woman mistook Lulin for Yanfei while she was working. Lulin saw this as her chance and asked the manager for the woman's address. The results really surprised her because it turned out that she had a twin sister, but the two had been sent to two different families since birth.

Not only are they similar in appearance, but these two girls also have many strange similarities from personality, taste, food... Even the scars on their fingers are similar. Both sisters were married in 2007, the two husbands share the same name Bin and the two young mothers' sons also look exactly alike.

Another story about the strange coincidence of twins is equally interesting. Karen Warner, in Indiana, USA, was born in November 1969 and was adopted at the age of 3 months. At the age of 9, she accidentally found out that she was adopted. Karen has never felt sad about this and believes that her biological parents may have new heartache for her to be adopted.

In 2018, the US state of Indiana passed a law allowing people born before 1994 to access adoption records. Curious, Karen contacted the Ministry of Health and received the results in April 2019. Karen was surprised to find out that she also had a twin brother. "Over the years, I've always felt like I'm missing a half. He's the other half that I haven't known for 50 years," Karen said.

Immediately, Karen began her journey to find her twin brother. She contacted the Indiana Adoption Authority, did DNA tests and even hired a private investigator. However, after a year of searching, Karen still could not find any information about her twin brother. In November 2020, Karen went to a local office for help with her utility bill. The employee there happened to know of her quest to find her twin brother, so she offered to help her on the Indiana voter list.

Thanks to that, Karen learned the names and addresses of 3 men with the same date of birth and the same hospital as Karen. Karen has identified two people who are not her brothers, but the third, Michael Jackman, is an acquaintance Karen has known since middle school. Both of them were in a band, Michael played the drums, and Karen played. clarinet. However, their relationship is only acquaintance.

Karen texted to ask Michael and received the answer that he was indeed the adopted son, born at Saint John's Hickey Memorial Hospital. His biological parents' last name is Cunningham, the same as Karen's biological parents.

That's all Karen has been looking for all this time. "Oh my, I think you're my twin brother," Karen phoned Michael in an emotional state. Later, the brothers discovered that not only did they live 7 blocks apart, Michael also lived in the same apartment building as Karen many years ago; it's just that he moved out just before Karen moved in. They went to the same middle and high school and didn't know they were twins.

At this coincidence, Michael was amazed. "I've always felt like something was missing in my life and now my twin sister has come to fill that void," Michael said.

DNA test results confirmed the blood relationship of the two. The twins decided to spend more time together to make up for the lost time.
