Abstract

As we have seen, a variety of approaches to twins have emerged in our examination and analysis of myths of both Western and non-Western cultures, ethnographic studies and anthropological research, past and present literature, television, films and the press. Before we can explore in depth the social analysis of twins in subsequent chapters, we need to examine how other disciplines have utilized twins and twins research.
