Has no one ever heard of Tasmania?

It is all totally normal and fine.

i kind of wonder if it's slightly more likely for twins to have twin children or something.

So it's okay if they marry their cousin, then?

I sense some confusion here. All that happened is that Diane and Craig had a set of identical twins. No weird genetics, no inbreeding, nothing. The interesting part is that Diane and Craig each have an identical twin sibling (who just so happen to be married to each other).

I think the two little girls in the picture are either sisters or cousins, not twins.

I wonder if those boy twins and girl twins are more genetically similar to each other than regular boy/girl fraternal twins...

This is one case where cousin marriage should definitely be discouraged.

It sounds like they should all have 12 toes or something

What would of been even freakier if both women had two sets of boys or girls and genetics had caused all four to look almost exactly alike even if there's a few years between them.

No fair. My mom is an identical twin and neither she nor her sister had twins. I always wanted a twin sister.

The little kid at the left is breaking the symmetry. Abandon him.

and if the children have children together, is it possible to get a genetic identical to one of the first generation twins? (i am not advocating they try)

Jeebus, my head hurts. Who's the poor little single kid all alone on the left?

Sounds like they are pretty well covered if one of them needs a kidney someday.

So, are the twin children from the separate parents genetically brothers and sisters?
