Why are human beings all different?
Why are people, even identical twins different physically?
Why do children not look exactly like their parents? Why do other species such as fish and birds appear to be highly regularised and similar to one another?
I am proposing the theory that nature is trying out all different combinations of humans in order to find the perfect human body type.
Imagine if you will a rotary lock in a vault all produces when it is turned hundreds of thousands of possible combinations imagine this with human populations only on a much, much bigger scale. Instead of hundreds of thousands of combinations, imagine thousands of billions of combinations.
It has occurred to me that nature by the act of making us all different physically, is looking for a combination of assets and physical characteristics from which to compose a perfect human or set of humans.
My hypothesis is that once the perfect human(s) are composed, then they will give birth to children that differ from their parents far less than previous generations. For example, let us say that Mr X and Miss Y differ from their child A by 25% then post the composition of the perfect humans their differential from their child would be between 0.001 and 0.002%.
In effect a post perfection child would physically appear imperceptible from their great, great, great grandparent.
Over time these inherent similarities would lead to human beings looking very much like each other. Whether this would be the case across the world and affect all races (both internally and in relation to one another) I am unable to speculate at this time.
Why do we find essentially the same sorts of people attractive?
Why are certain attributes valued over others when we make selections based on attractiveness?
I am aware that much of the pedagogy that we rely upon to make choices based upon attractiveness are/is discursive and based upon social constructed norms that work upon the conscious; and psychoanalytically, possibly the subconscious mind, and furthermore based upon locations in time and space.
Furthermore, there are important biological issues that must be also taken into account based upon latent needs for ’survival of the genes/species’ of this I am aware.
However, there appears to be something else at work, a third element that I am unable, without further probity analysis.
