15+ Pics That Prove Our Faces Are a Mirror Image of Our Ancestors

We inherit more from our parents than we can even imagine. From being a morning person to having a sweet tooth — it’s all in the DNA. How it all works is still a mystery, so if your daughter doesn’t look like you, check family albums — she may very well be the spitting image of your great-great-grandmother.

We at Bright Side would like to share these 19 photos that prove genetics are as thrilling as a roller coaster ride.
