Human twins have many meanings and different histories. They have
been seen as gods and monsters, signs of danger, death and sexual
deviance. They are taken as objects of wonder and violent
repression, the subjects of scientific experiment. Now millions are
born through fertility technologies. Their history is often buried
in philosophies and medical theories, religious and scientific
practices, and countless stories of devotion and tragedy. In this
history of superstitions and marvels, fantasies and experiments
William Viney - himself a twin - shows how the use and abuse of
twins has helped to shape the world in which we live. This book has
been written for twins and for anyone interested in their
historical, global and political impact.
