12 Pictures That Show Genes Really Do Run In The Family

We often hear expressions, such as “chip off the old block” or “the nut doesn’t fall from the tree.” Those expressions are made to show that looks really do run in the family. In fact, genetics really do make a difference, not only in our looks, but even in our personality traits.

If you have any doubt as to whether genetics really make a difference, they are about to be erased. When you see these generational pictures, side by side, the similarities are just too amazing to ignore.

Perhaps you have experienced similar at some time in your life. Maybe you ran into one of your parent’s old friends and they tell you how much you look like then. You may have even seen a complete stranger and, before you found out for sure, you were convinced they had to be so-and-so’s brother or sister.
