[edit] Quaternary mention?

I not only didn't see any mention of non-communal "quaternary marriages" mentioned in this article, I couldn't find a single mention anywhere on wikipedia. Could quaternary marriages be mentioned or even have its own article? I learned about it earlier today in the letter section of Popular Science and this was basically the only worthwhile web reference I could find outside of discussion about group marriages: [1]

[edit] Social aspects

While this article is very comprehensive in terms of the biological side of twins, it contains virtually no information about the social aspects of twin-hood. Twins have a very unique relationship that I think deserves some discussion in this article. Separation anxiety, thought/behavior synchronization, the often-present dominant/submissive dynamic, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.76.224.26 (talk) 01:06, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

[edit] National Geographic resource

A Thing or Two About Twins "They have the same piercing eyes. The same color hair. One may be shy, while the other loves meeting new people. Discovering why identical twins differ—despite having the same DNA—could reveal a great deal about all of us." by Peter Miller, coverstory of January 2012 issue.

[edit] mirror twins

I think it would be good to have some mention of mirror twins, in which the pair are genetically identical but one is the mirror image of the other, with the aorta descending along the right side of the spine, for instance. J S Ayer (talk) 22:46, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
