Photos of Madonna from the beginning of her career compared with images of Paris Jackson have reignited an old theory on social media about a possible biological relationship between the two. The comparison draws attention mainly due to similarities in face shape, eyes, eyebrows, and some facial expressions.
However, despite the buzz among internet users, there is no public evidence that the singer and Michael Jackson's daughter share any genetic relationship.
Experts explain that the resemblance between two people can be striking even when there is no family connection. This happens because appearance results from the combination of countless genetic variants, which can produce similar features in individuals without close kinship.
According to gynecologist and human reproduction specialist Rosaly Bustelo Saab, this genetic similarity can occur naturally between people who share common ancestry or simply by coincidence.
