<p>83.20.51.68: /* Mannish Twins */</p> <hr /> <div>'''Twins''' seem to be a common occurance in [[Arda]]. It is mainly noticed among [[Elves]] and [[Half-elven|Half-elves]], but some have been recorded among [[Men]] and [[Dwarves]]. It is interesting to note that many of these twins are ancestors of, or siblings are ancestors of, [[Elladan]] and [[Elrohir]], who were themselves twins.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Elven and Half-elven Twins ==<br /> As has been said before, twins seem to be common among [[Elves]] unlike the human standard of one in sixty. Elven twins:<br /> <br /> *[[Amrod]] and [[Amras]]<br /> *[[Elured]] and [[Elurin]]<br /> *[[Elrond]] and [[Elros]]<br /> *[[Elrohir]] and [[Elladan]]<br /> <br /> == Mannish Twins ==<br /> *[[Haleth]] and [[Haldar]]<br /> *[[Folcred]] and [[Fastred]]<br /> <br /> == Genetics ==<br /> Twins run through the female's genes. That means if the father had ancestors that were twins, but the female doesn't, the chances of having twins is very slim. However, if their daughter has children her father's genes affect her chance of having twins.<br /> <br /> This means that [[Amras]] and [[Amrod]]'s twin genes came from their mother, not [[Feanor]].</div>
