A pair of estranged twins who put up for adoption separately after birth were reunited almost four decades on - and discovered they had lived near identical lives. Jim Lewis and Jim Springer were born in 1940 and given the same name by their respective adoptive parents - James, or Jim for short.
The brothers, who became known as the 'Jim Twins', grew up just 40 miles from each other in Ohio, US, and were eventually brought back together in 1979. But, according to MamaMia.com, they had lived near-parallel lives during their 39 years apart.
The Jims both had a brother named Larry and a dog named Toy, while both enjoyed maths and woodwork at school and hated spelling classes.
Both siblings married women named Linda before getting divorced after several years and, astoundingly, remarrying women called Betty. The Jims also chose the same name for their sons, James Allan.

Before their meeting in 1979, Jim Lewis had been aware that he had a twin brother, from whom he had been separated at birth. Jim Springer had been told by his mother that his twin had passed away as a baby.
Following their meeting, Jim Springer said he had “always felt an emptiness” until he reunited with his identical twin. Their incredible story became a source of fascination for scientists, with the Jims taking part in various ‘nature versus nurture’ studies.
In one such study, conducted by Dr. Thomas Bouchard of University of Minnesota, the brothers completed tests on personality, medical history, and brain-waves. Their results
