Doppelganger Theory: Is it true that 7 people with same face live in the world?

•Scientifically, there’s no proof that exactly 7 identical-looking people exist for every person.

•A 2015 study by a Spanish researcher found that even unrelated people can have very similar facial features, but complete “face twins” are extremely rare.

• I’m sure that we have heard this in childhood, but the idea of 7 identical look-alikes is a myth.

Have you ever seen someone who looks like you?

I’ve heard that too since childhood and always found it intresting. But now knowing it’s not scientifically true makes sense — exact looks like are super rare. Still, it’s fun when someone tells you they saw someone who is exactly looking like you. I wonder how close someone can really look like us without being related.

No, I have not seen someone who looks exactly like me and even science says that it is incredibly rare. Few studies that have used facial recognition data along with biometric analysis have found that, the chance of two unrelated people sharing the same facial features is less than one in a trillion. In few studies, researchers have compared detailed measurements like eye spacing and nose shape etc. across large populations and they conveyed that the mathematical probability of a real doppelganger, someone who looks exactly like is is almost close to zero. Even identical twins have subtle differences that can be easily picked up through facial mapping and now through AI-assisted facial analysis as well.

No, I haven’t seen anyone same like me. In my childhood I have heard about it. But as I grow and get to know things I believe that only twins are having exact same face with minute differences in some.

The “7 look-alikes” theory is more folklore than fact. While genetics and chance can create uncanny resemblances, true facial twins are rare and usually not an exact match in every feature.
