You have your mother’s eyes.” It’s one of the most famous lines from JK Rowling’s Harry Potter series, in which the titular hero is constantly reminded that his green eyes resemble his late parent’s. It’s a memorable motif, in part because we place much more emotional significance on the eyes than we do on other facial features. Think of it this way: would it have felt quite so profound if Harry was regularly told, “You have your mother’s nose?” However, according to new research, the nose is the part of the face we’re most likely to inherit from our parents. Scientists at King’s College, London found that the shape of the tip of your nose is around 66% likely to have been passed down the generations.
