Visitors who walk through the Brazilian town Candido-Godoi may think they have a vision problem because they would see a lot of people who look alike. This is because the rate of twin births in the city is unusually high. Some believe the cruel Nazi doctor Joseph Mengel is responsible for this odd occurrence because of his interest in creating the perfect Aryan child by experimenting on twins.

With generations of inbreeding occurring among the new German settlers, the trait spread widely throughout the population.
