Is it all in the Genes?
People are genetically more identical than different. The genetic variations(mutations) caused mainly by 'junk DNA' also known as jumping genes or transposons, thought to have had parasitic infection origin, that we individually have, are phenotypically insignificant, being largely repressed, except, of course, when they cause occasional diseases. Thus, phenotypically we have even much closer resemblances than dissimilarities and that explains why we, as humans, have the same basic needs. There, however, is one thing we all differ in; and that is, our thinking. We choose what we want to do with our lives, except, of course, in situations when we have mental health issues (most of us do, in the course of our lifespan). Our experiences and individual life paths are all different and they help shape both intra-personal(varies with age) and inter-personal(between persons) differences, which are observed even in identical twins, individuals with the closest genotypic and phenotypi...
