Genetic Connection

After beginning my "shadowing" of Dr. Okon and his workers, I've found myself paying more attention to peoples teeth. I've never really liked looking into peoples' eyes as I've found it a bit uncomforatable and intimate, but, when in deep conversation, I shift my gaze from their nose to their eyes. As of late, I've been looking at their teeth and I've noticed that siblings teeth model their parents'. My and my brothers' teeth both have one small likeness: our upper left central tooth juts out in front of our upper right central tooth. I've noticed this about other people and their siblings as well. Perhaps teeth, like everything else the human body is made of, is simply a clone of their parents, having less real originality than thought of.

"Me and my brother"? Hmmmm. I like your point about genetic similarities seen in teeth lay-out. I never thought of it before.
