00:25hated spelling, became law enforcement officers, and both married women named Linda. Divorced,
00:31then both were married women named Betty. They even had sons they named James Allen.
00:36It gets crazier. They both drove the same car brand, smoked the same cigarettes,
00:40and vacationed at the same Florida beach. The twist? At age 39, they reunited and realized
00:46just how identical their lives were. This astonishing case has fascinated scientists
00:50for decades, sparking endless debates on nature versus nurture.
00:54While they had their differences, one thing's clear. The Jim twins prove that sometimes,
00:59genetics work in mysterious ways.
