Scientists have proved that, in fruit flies at least, offspring can resemble a mother’s previous mate
The idea that the physical traits of previous sexual partners could be passed on to future children was hypothesised by Aristotle and formed part of the reason that kings were banned from marrying divorcees.

But the birth of genetics dismissed ‘telegony’ as a superstition which had no basis in science.

Now, however, an intriguing new study suggests children may resemble a mother’s previous sexual partner after all.

Scientists at the University of New South Wales discovered that, for fruit flies at least, the size of the young was determined by the size of the first male the mother mated with, rather than the second male that sired the offspring.

It is the first time that telegony has been proved in the animal kingdom.

The researchers propose that the effect is due to molecules in the semen of the first mate being absorbed by the female's immature eggs where they influence future offspring.

Could previous lovers influence appearance of future children?

I believe it. Me and my brother look like twins except we don't have the same father. He's 10 years older than me. His dad and my mom were way over and divorced by the time my dad and my mom hooked up. Yet we look like twins. I saw a picture of my brother's dad when he was younger, he looks more like me than my own father :merchant: If it wasn't for my dad getting a blood test on me and being 99.9999% my father, I might have questions for mom dukes.

:ohhh:, you should take some of your brother's hair and get a DNA test comparison between yourself and your brother. Parse as trying to find out if you guys have the same father). Looking at the results, if you are over 50% the same DNA as your bruther (you should only be 50% as you only share a mother), you share more DNA with his father than is warranted.
