I think Brittany and Abby are two single individual persons.
I do too, but we can see that there is much more behavioral
synchronization that we would expect from two single individual
persons.
Then there are the brain conjoined twins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWDsXa5nNbI
(skip to 5:23 if you want)
That situation is a bit different, but notice the similarities
between kids who literally share some part of their brain and ones
who share nothing from the neck up.
I follow those twins, and others. It is very interesting. They are
cute too. Once they mesh the brain, observable facts are hard to
interpret.
It is know also that some weird synchronization (like marrying at
the same time a partner looking similar) might occur between distant
twins, but it is hard also to verify or give credits to all accounts,
or even just to interpret them, as it might mean that a larger part of
the behavior is "programmed" in the genome (like here the taste for
the type of woman/boy).
