In response to Melizzy #35027 Mon Mar 5, 2007 1:17:07 AM #35038 Perm LinkActually, the brain is wired for recognition of the sibling from observation. There are similar cases of children who were not blood-related, but who were raised together; they ended up considering each other siblings and the altruism/lack of sexual interest worked as if they shared the same biological parents.
I haven't got any information about blood-related individuals separated at birth and re-united later. But just remember the legend of Oedipus and Jocasta, each ignoring the fact that they were mother and son. But of course, this is only a legend...
