Trivia:

A Non-Paternity Event (NPE) is a clinical genetics term to describe an instance in which the presumed father of a child is not the biological father. The NPE rate varies by country from approximately 2% in the United States and Canada, to 1.6% in Europe and to about 2.9% elsewhere. In contrast, if we look only at men who express a low paternity confidence i.e. they express doubts about their paternity, the NPE rate increases to 30%.

Trivia:

Heteropaternal Superfecundation (HS) describes a situation where one of the child from a twin pair is the result of an egg fertilized by the sperm of two different fathers. HS does not and cannot occur in the case of genetically identical twins. The rate of incidence of HS is believe to be between 0.5% and 2% amongst the fraternal twin population.
