I am dumb, I am aware. If twins have the same DNA, are they the same person from a biological standpoint?

    That reads to me like the ears are affected differently by the environment (including in the womb). Also the numbers in that article suggest there are over 5 million “collisions” in which two people have ears that their test would say match.

      That’s so crazy to me! But I’m guessing if they could match, there must be some margin of error in the test

        Indeed. Some of the margin of error is probably needed since I’m sure ears change over time on the same person if they are measuring that closely
