How many times have you been compared to someone and they said you look the same as another person? Or have you met someone who reminds you very much of someone else, or are you sure you know them from before even though you never actually met them?
They say that everyone in the world has at least one duplicate, and there can be as many as six.
But is it possible that each of us has a duplicate?
There is a certain probability for that, scientists believe, because the number of genes that affect facial characteristics, no matter how large, is still limited.
"If you shuffle the deck of cards many times, you'll be able to get the same combination of cards twice. However, the deck of cards is incredibly extensive in the case of the human face," said Michael Sheehan, a professor of neurobiology at Cornell University.
Scientists currently have no idea how many genes play a role in establishing, for example, the shape of the face or the space between the eyes.
The larger the human population, the more likely it is that someone like you will be found somewhere on the planet.
In the past, while people produced offspring within closed groups and peoples, it was easier to generate mutations and establish differences in physical characteristics, which were then established so much that they became the characteristics of certain ethnic groups.
Today, however, members of one group have children with members of nations they have not even met in the past, even with people from different continents. In that way, people of all races and from all parts of the body combine their genes, and thanks to that, the "duplicate effect" is both stronger and, paradoxically, diluted.
On the one hand, the more people, the more likely it is that 2 people will look the same, and on the other hand, it also increases the number of gene combinations.
It should be borne in mind, however, that the human population has grown significantly, from one billion at the beginning of the 20th century to the number of more than 7 billion people in the 21st century.
There is one interesting page where if you want to find your duplicate, visit the "I Look Like You" page, where you can also find out the location of your duplicate.
Namely, on this page you can attach your photo and the comparison service will do its job. Based on all the photos, they will find the person who looks most like you.
Of course, this service is purely entertaining. This page also offers the option to view similarities among other people.
Your duplicate can look like you in a smaller or larger percentage, and at the same time you can play around and compare with which famous person you have the most similarities.
The whole idea came from stories about security services. Initially, the services used face recognition to help search for criminals. The authors of the site where you can see what your duplicate looks like decided to create a website at a time when users have uploaded more than 100,000 photos.
Now, in this article, I will post pictures of celebrities and their duplicate. You will be surprised how similar they actually are.
Thanks to the Universe! There are two George Clooney! They are identical, only one lives in Hollywood and is married, while the other lives in Turkey ...
The lady who looks like the twin Julie Roberts, is really lucky. Who wouldn't love to look like a Hollywood beauty!
Nikolai from Russia is literally Russian Harry Potter! It’s hard to find a difference between Daniel Radcliffe and him.
No, these are not two photos of Morgan Freeman. This is Morgan Freemen and his duplicate.
Actresses Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley are so similar that their mothers sometimes mixed them up during the filming of "Star Wars".
American actor Will Ferrell and drummer of the music group "Red Hot Chili Peppers" Chad Smith look so much that Ferrell also recorded a fun sketch on the topic of their physical resemblance, and their fans often approach the wrong star.
There are other celebrities who have found their doubles, such as Novak Djokovic, Angelina Jolie, etc.

I haven't found my duplica yet.
Would I really like to meet another self? Apart from the great similarity in physical appearance, do we perhaps have any similar characteristics?
Did you find it?
I hope you enjoyed my post. If so, like it, and write in the comment if you have a duplicate ...
I send you a big greeting!
Your @MarijaJak !
