Has anyone else noticed this?
Is it true in your family or in other families that you have noticed? Is there any real studies that have proved this to be true or false? |

My half brother and I are 13 years apart, and we very closely resemble one another (clearly take after our mother).
He and my other half brother are just under 11 months apart and they look nothing like each other (other brother looks like his dad). So that's my n=1 |

| Our twins look absolutely nothing alike. Facial structure, eye color, hair, body type all different. |

| My sister and I are 17 months apart, but other than coloring (same hair/eye color/skin tone), we aren't very similar. Our body type and facial structure are completely different. |

| My girls are 8+ years apart and they look very similar. The difference is the second has more hair than her sister did. |

| This doesn't hold up IME. The theory I've heard that does: the first and third kids look much more like each other, and the second and fourth kids look much more like each other. |

My kids are 20 months apart and look very different - hair color, curly/straight, lighter/darker complexion.
My dad and his brother are 16 months apart and do not look similar. My friend has two boys 11 months apart that look completely different - one super tall and one normal height. She had a third boy 8 years after the second and he is like a clone of the second boy. |

OP, after you've conducted your exhaustive DCUM study, you should set off to see if the earth is indeed flat.
This is why Trump is winning. |

My husband and his sister are 17 YEARS apart and are the spitting image of one another. To the extent that I have even wondered if he was her child with an elaborate cover up. (Lol still haven't ever really confirmed
