We predict several new exotic doubly heavy hadronic resonances, inferring from the observed exotic bottomoniumlike and charmoniumlike narrow states X(3872), Zb(10610), Zb(10650), Zc(3900), and Zc(4020/4025). We interpret the binding mechanism as mostly molecularlike isospin-exchange attraction between two heavy-light mesons in a relative S-wave state. We then generalize it to other systems containing two heavy hadrons which can couple through isospin exchange. The new predicted states include resonances in meson-meson, meson-baryon, baryon-baryon, and baryon-antibaryon channels. These include those giving rise to final states involving a heavy quark Q=c,b and antiquark Q[over ¯]'=c[over ¯],b[over ¯], namely, DD[over ¯]*, D*D[over ¯]*, D*B*, B[over ¯]B*, B[over ¯]*B*, ΣcD[over ¯]*, ΣcB*, ΣbD[over ¯]*, ΣbB*, ΣcΣ[over ¯]c, ΣcΛ[over ¯]c, ΣcΛ[over ¯]b, ΣbΣ[over ¯]b, ΣbΛ[over ¯]b, and ΣbΛ[over ¯]c, as well as corresponding S-wave states giving rise to QQ' or Q[over ¯]Q[over ¯]'.
