Twins! And Parents!

TwInS

From what I read on the Minnesota Center for Twins website, one is led to believe that human beings are shaped off of nature, not nurture. On a subsection of the research page, it explained two men, Jim and Jim, who had been separated at birth. The twins were only four weeks old. Both men went on to marry women with the same name, divorce women with the same name, name their first sons the same thing with the exception of one letter, and even named their dog the same thing! How does this happen?! One would have to conclude that the two men had some kind of preset disposition to such actions. But how? How is it possible that they fell in love with women of the same name, as Betty is not a very common name. And how would they name their children the exact same thing!?! This has to be more than coincidence. If these twins, in different settings, ended up so similar, then how are some twins living under the same roof completely opposite? I know girls that have completely different taste in music, men, and most everything else, and these twins share a stinkin bedroom. Crazy stuff, man. Crazy.
