Believe it or not, scientists say that statistically, every person has roughly SIX doppelgangers out there in the world. That means there are seven people with your face, including you, out there.

Does every human have a doppelgänger?

Not exactly. Their studies were based on exact measurements. It may just mean that a forensic anthropologist, specialising in facial recognition, can distinguish the differences between you and a doppelgänger, but your own mother may still do a double-take.

Are doppelgangers a real thing?

Doppelgängers (German for “double walker”) are non-biologically related lookalikes – they are not genetically related to you nor do they have any connection to your family history, but for some odd reason, have similar features to you.
