Being born is a lot like rolling up a character in an RPG, but instead of magical powers and divine gifts from the gods, we tend to get muggle-worthy stuff like uncle Roger’s elaborate eyelashes and great-grandma Betsy’s charming smile. However… How-e-ver!
From time to time, the Universe gets lazy and decides to reuse old assets, copy-pasting the same genetic information. It might think that nobody will notice because it’s been at least one generation since it’s used that particular genetic code, but it’s darn wrong. That’s how people end up looking so much like their relatives, it’s spooky and has us wondering about secret government cloning facilities (the truth is out there!).
The r/AncestryDNA subreddit is a place for people to share their heritage and genetic ancestry, as well as to document how you might be the spitting image of your relatives, some of whom might still be alive while others lived hundreds of years ago. Check the photos people posted to the community down below and, as you’re scrolling down, upvote the ones that impressed you the most. Be sure to write a comment or two about who you resemble the most in your families, dear Pandas!
