Mengele Responsible for a Bazillion Brazilian Twins

How bizarre

Incrível. Any further research been done to find out exactly what he did to cause this or what his potions and elixirs consisted of?

Nonsense. Somebody wants to write "Boys from Brazil II". Proclivity for multiple births is genetically influenced and it is no surprise that a small isoloted community can, over time, have an increased twin rate. Twins begat at least somewhat more twins. I'd bet if one could trace birth records, the trend would happening have been so for generations, not merely since Mengele's supposed visit 40 years ago.

maybe the twins were the cause for his visit rather than he being the cause of the twins

I wouldn't be surprised if this sort of thing was going on still today. Many less fortunate countries just "trust" care they are receiving from other countries, but who knows what really might be going on...

Also, I never understood how these dark haired, dark eyed men, were in charge of trying to build up this "super race" of people who were blond and blue eyed. Basically the opposite of who they themselves were. Why were the "creators" not not killed for being different, and replaced with blond haired blue eyed doctors? I don't get it.

Sid Morrison: The article states that the first twins were born in 1963. Thus, the direct supposed connection.

Any DNA analysis?

Fascinating how threads of history weave together, and how the implications of the Nazi regime still keep cropping up today . . . but the article says nothing about HOW Mengele was able to get women to produce more twins, or why the phenomenon continues today . . . that must have been some serious genetic tweaking he was doing!

My guess...he "visited" those women.

This story would probably adapt into a movie of some sort, its so strange.
I could totally see some sort of horror movie loosely based on this. You have a town of twins... thats creepy. Add the nazi element and thats even creepier.
Village of the Damned - THE TRUE STORY. Dun dun duuun!

That is ridiculous. Mengele injected dye into childrens eyes to "make them more aryan", knowing of course that it would blind them. And, maybe with common sense, knowing it would not turn their eyes blue. THere is no way he actually managed something like this.

who doesn't love twins?

This all sounds very fascinating, but I think it's nonsense. Mengele is given a status of somekind of an über-doctor. There is no way he was able to inflict by some elixirs or drugs to the human dna. It sounds possible to produce twins in one pregnancy, but genetical changes that inflicts later generations sound extremely unlikely. Nazi-Germany wasn't posessing any weird scifi-space-age-technology. They lost the war. Mengele was a person I don't give any appreciation of his merits. He ought to be remembered not from the smily blue-eyed Brazilian kids, but from the numerous tortured and killed souls of Auschwitch.

Reminds me of scientific research about the lost city of Atlantis. In other words, not very good.
