While resemblance among family members is not something new, it is still fascinating to see how much some people look like their parents or their kids or even to relatives who are from previous generations in the family tree! That’s how genetics work and it’s amazing.

And to add more proof to this claim, here are 70 photos of people that show the incredible power of genetics. Read on and see the uncanny work of nature!

1. The same hair mark

This woman’s distinctive birthmark happens to be a streak of white hair along her hairline. Amazingly, her daughter inherited this unusual mark. Now, that’s one unique hereditary mark!

2. Side-by-side

It’s hard to imagine the similarities between faces sometimes. But, when the comparison is done this way, the resemblance is definitely obvious!

I have no doubt that this woman is definitely her mother’s daughter. All of their features look the same, even their hairstyles!

This photo was spotted at a clinic. Yes, it’s one thing to have heterochromatic eyes. But to have another person to have the same condition with the exact same look is downright fascinating.

6. A hereditary gap

Now, this woman and the man in the painting are not much of look-alikes. But, their hereditary eyebrow gap is totally noticeable and it’s insane how this seemingly simple trait is passed onto generations!
