In this fun interest piece for Episode 114 on The People's Scientist podcast, I talk about if we become physically more similar to our partners over time. As we share a home with people over a long period of time, we may develop similarities in our immune system, gut microbiome, facial expressions, mannerisms, and we may therefore become more biologically similar over time. There is also a theory that we choose a partner that has some similarities to us whether that be physical, intellectual, social, psychological, etc. Tune in for all the scientific details!
