While the ID worked surprisingly well, some viewers noted that Monique’s son might not resemble her as much as it seemed. However, Monique provided a side-by-side comparison, settling doubts about their striking resemblance.

It is a common belief that babies tend to look more like their fathers than their mothers. This hypothesis suggests that children resemble their fathers to confirm paternity, as fathers are often uncertain about it.

A study in 1995 by Nicholas Christenfeld and Emily Hill supported the paternal resemblance hypothesis. People were found to be better at matching photos of one-year-old children with pictures of their fathers than with photos of their mothers.

Contradictory Research

Subsequent research, particularly in Evolution and Human Behavior, contradicted the 1995 study. Some studies found that newborns resemble their mothers more than their fathers, indicating that young children reach both parents equally.

A more recent study with a larger sample of babies concluded that most infants resemble both parents to about the same extent. This study challenged the notion that babies preferentially resemble their fathers.

A study discussed parents’ ratings of facial resemblance with their children. Both fathers and mothers rated their children’s likeness to themselves above the reference point, with males scoring higher than females.

Overall, these sources provide insights into the debate about whether babies tend to resemble their fathers more than their mothers and highlight the complexity of this issue. While some research supports the paternal resemblance hypothesis, other studies indicate that children often resemble both parents equally, challenging the earlier findings.
