In continuation of my post on Twins in a Kerala village I have a similar report today. The Hindu Newspaper of today (16 th Dec.2012) carries another story. This states that in a U.P. village,Mohhamadpur Umri, the twin phenomenon has been found. Here too , according to the report are 120 identical twins in a population of just over couple of thousands. Another interesting feature of the village is that the girls born here who go to far off places have been known to have twins.
Another amusing feature of this village is that animals too, produce identical twins once in a while. Many researchers throng this village to conduct studies about this strange phenomenon.Situated near Allahabad, the villagers are used to numberless visitors such as scientists,students, medical researchers, and curious people ,coming there to find out the reasons for unusually large number of twin births.

Pretty crazy, should I say? But worth a reseasrch and study.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds really intriguing...I'm wondering if it's something in the food and/or water perhaps that they are ingesting...what comes to mind is something along the lines of discarded pharmaceuticals that end up producing too much estrogen. And I know that as women give birth as they are older, that multiple births - twins and triplets for example - are more common. At my small workplace, there were about three or four of us, myself included, who are twins. ;) <3
ReplyDeleteThank you Elly for throwing some light on this mysrery.That it is too much of estrogen is most probably the cause. Scientists have visited this village from far and wide,but no report has been published officially.
