 0. Twins a case of nature or nurture
Many people are like their siblings in some ways, but twins are often even more alike. If you are
born at the same time as another baby and grow up with them, it is likely you will be similar to each
other. But what would happen if you didn’t know you had a twin? How alike would you be?
1. _________________
In the USA, a pair of identical twins was split up when they were adopted as four-month-old babies.
Their new parents decided on their names and without knowing it, both called their son ‘Jim’. These
two boys spent all of their childhood and teenage years living separate lives in different places. And
it wasn’t until they were thirty-nine years old that they got to meet each other for the first time.
They were quite surprised to find how similar they were.
2. _________________
Although they didn’t look exactly the same, they were both six feet tall and weighed 180 pounds.
They discovered that during their childhood they had both had a dog named ‘Toy’ and as adults
they had both married twice. Even more strangely, both of their first wives were called ‘Linda’ and
their second wives were called ‘Betty’. The Jims had each had a son. One of them had called theirs
‘James Allan’ while the other named theirs ‘James Alan’.
3. _________________
The similarities didn’t end there. They discovered that they had both worked as sheriffs, owned the
same type of car, smoked the same cigarettes and drank the same beer. They also suffered from
the same health problems, like severe headaches. In later research on the pair, a psychologist*
noticed that they both bit their nails. This was rather unusual behavior among identical twins.
4. _________________
However, while they were very similar, there were also some clear differences. For example, one
Jim preferred to express himself through writing while the other preferred speaking. They also had
different hairstyles and one Jim had married a third time while the other hadn’t.
5. _________________
Continued research on the Jim twins has proven to be very interesting and along with other
research findings has led to the discovery that the personality and identity of twins who have
grown up apart is as alike as those that haven’t.
* Psychologist – someone who studies the human mind and human behavior.
