Abstract
Theoretically, a woman could bear unlimited number of fetuses. Practically, the human being on the top of his phylogenetic spread, has chosen the singleton birth as its dominant. The anatomical constitution of the woman let her feed no more than two children at the same time. This were probably the reasons for considering the multiple birth as a nature phenomenon. With the time passing, there was a growing body of legends and misunderstandings, based on exagerated histories on their births. Based on world literature, the super multiple births are analyzed.
