Michael Sheehan, an assistant professor of neurobiology and behavior at Cornell University says it is.
康奈爾大學(xué)神經(jīng)生物學(xué)和行為學(xué)助理教授邁克爾·希恩說(shuō)播玖，這是有可能的。
He concluded in a recent study that our faces have evolved due to the importance of individuality to our species.
他在最近的一項(xiàng)研究中總結(jié)說(shuō)饭于，由于個(gè)性對(duì)我們來(lái)說(shuō)十分重要蜀踏，我們的面孔已經(jīng)進(jìn)化了维蒙。
Think about it: you walk down a street and you see a multitude of faces.

希恩說(shuō)：“人類(lèi)確實(shí)具有驚人的多樣性，其他物種就沒(méi)有這個(gè)特點(diǎn)钳榨〗⒎＃”
So what about the stories we read where two people definitely look strikingly similar?

So eventually, the numbers would dictate that certain features resembling yours and will randomly combine.

But that doesn't mean they are an exact duplicate of you.

While we know ourselves best — we've seen our own faces every day almost since the day we were born —
盡管我們最了解自己了——幾乎從出生那天起美侦，我們每天都能看到自己的臉——
our friends might see a few similar features that stick out to them and equate that with looking "exactly" like you.
但朋友們可能會(huì)注意到有人和你有一些突出的相似面貌特征，并說(shuō)這個(gè)人和你長(zhǎng)得“完全”一模一樣魂奥。
With seven billion people in the world, it's fun — if not a bit eerie — to think that someone out there looks so much like us that even we have to do a double-take.
