My focus on commonalities over differences

Humans are remarkably similar. As a species, we have relatively little genetic diversity[1]. There are cultural differences. But IMHO - our commonalities trump our differences.

I rather spend my limited time understanding the rules of humanity than the exceptions.

My scientific research focused on the basic process growing out the unique neurobiological constraints of humans. Much of psychology focuses on minor differences. The narcissism of minor differences is a sticky subject. Endless fascinating but has only a fraction of the power of unlocking our shared fundamentals.
