Have you ever met any? رابط الدرس الرقمي www.ien.edu.sa You Look Just Like Me! "Hi, Eddy. We're going to be in math class together again this semester, aren't we?" "Sorry. I'm not Eddy." "Nice to see you again, Bobby." "Sorry. I don't know you." "You're Bobby, aren't you?" "No, I am not. I'm Eddy." This is the story of an amazing coincidence. Three brothers-triplets-met for the first time at the age of 19. Bobby Shafran started a new semester at Sullivan Community College in New York. The previous semester Eddy Galland was a student there. The two teens looked exactly alike. Another student confused Bobby with Eddy, and then he realized that the boys were probably brothers. That student introduced Bobby to Eddy. The two boys found out that they were in fact twins, born at the same time. The boys were orphans and grew up in two different families. The families didn't know that their baby boys had brothers. But even more amazing was this. After the story was in the newspapers, another boy, named David Kellman, realized that he was their brother, too—also born at the same time. So, the twins became triplets! There are many touching stories of orphans who meet for the first time as adults. Another well-known story of twins is that of Daphne Goodship and Barbara Herbert. They met for the first time at the age of 39. When they met, each was wearing a beige dress and a brown jacket. Blue was their favorite color. They both liked their coffee cold and black. Well, perhaps, that isn't very surprising, is it? But how about these similarities? They both fell down some stairs at the age of 15, and later they had problems with their ankles. They both used the same recipe book and sometimes cooked the same meal on the same day. And to scientists who studied them, they had similar personalities: they were talkative, and they laughed a lot. Because of this, they were called the "Giggle" twins. Scientists like to study such cases of twins. They want to answer the classic question, “What's more important—heredity or environment?" Studies with twins like the Giggle twins seem to make a case for heredity, don't they? The twins grew up in different environments, but still the twins are very similar in many ways. But are all the similarities just coincidences? What do you think? SG_03_COMBO_TEXT_2024.indb 74 30/4/24 12:32 AM
