Two brothers Josh and Ben look exactly alike and are exactly the same age yet they are not twins How is this possible?
By definition two children born to the same mother at the same time would be twins. It would be possible that they would not be twins if they were only half brothers, meaning that they shared a father but were born to two different mothers at the same time, or where they shared the same mother and father, but one was carried and born to a surrogate, or both by two separate surrogates and just happened to look very simmilar, though they would share different DNA.
If they did share the exact same DNA and also were not twins one would have to be the 'clone' or the other, meaning that a single embryo was 'conceived' from one sperm and one egg, which was cloned, and each embryo was implanted into a different woman's womb, and were born at the exact same time.
They could just be dogs or another animal that is born in a liter. They're brothers and look exactly the same, but aren't neccesarily twins.
