Indeed, it may never be possible to say definitively, since the perception of facial resemblance is subjective. Some people have trouble recognising themselves in photos, while others rarely forget a face.
And how we perceive similarity is heavily influenced by familiarity. Friewald agrees. Why are we so interested anyway? Research has shown we judge similar looking-people to be more trustworthy and attractive — a factor thought to contribute to our voting choices.

Measuring the shape and position of each feature as well as exact distances between these features, they found that the chance of two people being an exact match, with respect to all eight features, is about one in a trillion.
