Change less than 1% of our genetic makeup........we may become another type of primate...some of us are more 'birdlike'....others, more 'doglike'......still, we are most like chimps and other apes, aren't we?

The Self? as in the Ego?.....or the manifestation, in a temporal context, of the fantasy of some uniquely singular expression? Largely, I view and interpret human behavior as being not dissimilar to that of other creatures of similar genetic architecture and social disposition.....expressive variations are not as distinctively unique from this context, wherein thought constructs and vaster philosophical theorizations usually follow the ancestral customs of humanity's subsets.....incomprehensible variations being rejected, as sameness is reinforced by minimal chromosomal recombinations
