Identical vs. Fraternal Twins

The way in which twins become identical or fraternal depends entirely upon what happens during fertilization of the mother’s egg.

Identical twins will therefore have identical genetic material, which accounts for why these twins are often indistinguishable from each other. read more

Oliver was a young chimpanzee, likely kidnapped from the Congo at an early age, and sold to animal trainers in 1970. Frank and Janet Berger noticed as the chimp aged that he had very human-like traits, such as walking upright and having features that resembled an old man. Oliver was trained by the Bergers for 7 years, when another peculiar trait made itself known to the pair of trainers.
