You are most right on.
We are all of the same species (Homo sapiens sapiens), and despite your regional differences (caused by climate end environment), and our cultural differences (caused by time and a need to adapt to our surroundings and mold our beliefs thereto), we would all be the same.
Our skin color is an adaptation to sun exposure, our diet to our nutritional needs and what is available.
Darwinian evolution says that those of of us most likely to survive in our environment will flourish.
Of course, now that we can manipulate our environments, we are free to go anywhere. Eskimos can live in Hawai`i, and vice versa - PROVING Matapule's "Universality of mankind."
Well done, Mata

The universality of mankind
From another thread:
The camera briefly focuses on the Iran fans: they look exactly like us! They ARE exactly like us. Happy smiling people, men, women, kids, waving their flag, cheering on their guy, just like Americans do, or British, or Chinese, etc.
We three had many late night conversations about world politics, government, cultures,......everything. We rarely agreed but we all had the same goals. This was the period when the Shah was still in power in Iran. Sohrab hated the Shah but he also talked about the dangerous religious clerics called ayatollahs. I had no idea what he was talking about then but he turned out to be prophetic. Sohrab introduced me to his Iranian friends, customs, and food. It was all good. Matapule was an eager student. Jorge did the same for us. I still have a picture of us three on graduation day in our gowns and mortar boards with arms around each other and big smiles. We called ourselves the Three Musketeers.
We have tried to stay in touch over the years. Jorge's three daughters made their first visit to the States when we hosted the girls one summer and helped them with their English. Each of us became a success in our own way - integrity, honesty, and openness. Three liberals in the classic sense of the word.
