Rare unrelated individuals show striking resemblance, almost as high as monozygotic twins. Extensive genetic analysis of a set of such individuals shows that every couple shares a given allele at a large set of loci, enriched for "face genes". The similarity is limited to this set of loci, and the rest of the genome is quite diverse in these "look alike" individuals.
