"A unique window into human behavior and development." Steven PinkerThe riveting story of two sets of identical twins separated at birth and improbably reunited as adults, a dream case for exploring nature and nurture.Accidental Brothers tells the unique story of two sets of identical Colombian twin brothers who discovered at age 25 that they were mistakenly raised as fraternal twinswhen they were not even biological brothers. Due to an oversight that presumably occurred in the hospital nursery, one twin in each pair was switched with a twin in the other pair. The result was two sets of unrelated fraternal twinsJorge and Carlos, who were raised in the lively city of Bogot; and William and Wilber, who were raised in the remote rural village of La Paz, 150 miles away. Their parents and siblings were aware of the enormous physical and behavioral differences between the members of each set, but never doubted that the two belonged in their biological families.Everyones life unraveled when one of the twinsWilliamwas mistaken by a young woman for his real identical twin, Jorge. Her discovery led to the truththat the alleged twins were not twins at all, but rather unrelated individuals who ended up with the wrong families.Blending great science and human interest, Accidental Brothers by Nancy L. Segal and Yesika S. Montoya will inform and entertain anyone interested in how twin studies illuminate the origins of human behavior, as well as motherinfant identification and the chance events that can have profound consequences on our lives.
