Categories of people
Yesterday, I was having an interesting conversation with my labmates, Jeremiah and Xuzhao, about what is the analogy of different breeds in dogs, to the human race. Just like there are different breeds of dogs that still comprise the same species, is there a genetic configuration that separates different kinds of people in the human race?
Well, the simplistic answer was provided by Wikipedia. It says that there is no such genetic configurations that separate the human race into different breeds. This conclusion was reached after doing correlative studies on poeple from different races. They found that there were cases where more correlation existed between random people from around the world as compared to correlation within the people from the African continent. This proved that a race does not determine any specific genetic qualities. The african subcontinent was used as a means of comparison, since the entire continent population is supposed to have originated from a few hundred immigrants to Africa, some hundred thousand years ago.
So that settled the more scientific aspect. But coming to think of it in a Carrie Bradshaw way, I realized there are inherent categories in human beings. To me, one can classify a human being based on whether he or she follows the heart, or the brain, or the body.
What I mean is, in my world, there are people who always listen to either their heart, brain or body. I am not trying to make any kind of comparison between the type of people that they are. I am just trying to plainly break it down into classes.
To make it more clear, someone who always craves for beauty, and glamour, and fame, is someone who follows the body. Someone who is very emotional, passionate, and forthright, and generous, is someone who follows the heart. And the last category of people, those who follow their brain, to me are those who are rational, always trying to be logical, at times cunning, do what it takes to get the job one, kind of poeple.
I consider myself to be the follower of the brain. I am deceptive at times, kind at others, friendly on occasions and striaght faced on others depending on what the brain wants to get done.
Let me see if I can strenghen my theory or make any further claims regarding its validity or even compatibility.
