PostPosted: Tue Jan 16, 2007 11:33 am
Did anyone else see these two amazing 2 hour length documentaries that
the National Geographic Channel did?
The first one was called In The Womb:Animals and followed a litter of puppies,a dolphin and an elephant from conception to fetal development to birth.
The second was called In The Womb:Multiples and followed a pair of
twins,triplets and quads.
What was so interesting about the second one was how eerily surreal the whole thing appeared.
In one section they explained that some people start out life in the womb as twins but don't know it because for some reason or other the other twin does not develop all the way.
Also there are certain identical twins that are referred to as Mirror Image Twins.They are literally the mirror opposites.One may be left handed and the other right handed.Sometimes their internal organs will even be reversed.
Scientists believe that some left handers might have started out as
Mirror Twins but their twin disappeared before full development occured.
Also they explained how joined twins might occur.
