The nature and frequency of quadruplet births are reviewed, followed by a close-up look at the 6-year-old monozygotic Mathias quadruplets. This essay is followed by reviews of new twin research on color–number association, male–female twins' finger-length ratios, and links between twinning and dietary practices. The article finishes by focusing on unusual twin athletes in football, basketball and golf, and on twin co-authors of a new book on the 1972 silver medal victory by the United States hockey team.
