People Are Sharing Pics Of How Their Genes Seemed To Just Hit Copy-Paste (40 Tweets)
Part of what makes genetics so interesting is that a lot of their effects aren't visible. But some people can learn a lot about their biological inheritance by simply comparing themselves to their ancestors.
Shelby Contra, 23, is one of them. Recently, she tweeted photos of herself and her grandmother to show just how similar the two looked when they were about the same age. "Grandma's genes really hit copy n paste huh," Shelby captioned the pics.
Her tweet went viral and nearly 555K people have already liked it, leaving over 1.1K responses. Many of which are their own side-by-side images that show their uncanny cross-generational resemblance. Continue scrolling and check out some of the craziest ones!

There's still enough difference around the chin and lips, but very close indeed

I have a hereditary gap in my eyebrow. It’s a portrait of my great great grandfather on the left, my dad also has the gap as well. It doesn’t always show, I guess because my eyebrows are kinda unruly and curly so sometimes the gap is covered, I also sometimes fill them especially because I’ve had people ask if I shaved the gap to be “cool”.

The upper half of the face is similar - they have quite different jaw lines.

I don't come on Bored Panda to see racist comments. Lester Freake needs to be blocked.

I agree 1000%. It seems that over the last few months that more and more racist people are coming on here just to spew hate.

Can not believe the racism displayed on this post. Bored Panda need to act immediately. This should not be tolerated; so many people here are standing up and calling this out. We don't not accept these racist attitudes as part of our collective society here and demand these people are removed.

Genetics is fascinating, which traits stay strong throughout the generations. We are lucky enough to have photos going back four/five generations from me. On my maternal side, all the women have the same chin. It's weird to look at my chin and then at a great-great relative and see my chin on her face, or see her chin on my face.
