This is a nice phrase !
Reminds me of what Fukuyama writes about what Aristoteles
defines as ' potention ' and ' act '.
We' re all part of what is know as ' the human- species ' and our
genetical structure defines where our possibilities lay. In that
sense we' re all equal, but that doesn 't say we all act in the same
way.
We share ' an identical ' species- bound ' genetical structure but
our behaviors are in some way similar and in that sense memetics
is involved in the template.

Kenneth
