As a young teen I played basketball with a pair of identical twins. One was fairly slight, the other rather stocky and an inch or two taller. Not sure why.
maybe they weren’t identical twins. Unless they did a genetic test they wouldn’t know for sure. I read something once that said that a significant number of same-sex fraternal twins are misidentified as identical.
That is very interesting. I hadn’t thought yet that the way we identify twins right now is just by looking at them (“they look pretty much the same, they must be identical”).
