    Joe if I may,

    Wade's scheme works in the way that each tree, despite the fact they are all trees, named as pines, all grow as different individuals. IMO, he is right, each person is not genetical unique, but also memetical. The idea of a memetic isomorphism can take root here...

    The same kind of scheme is applied in the search for wales. Scientists take pictures of individuals to recognize them within the species they are investigatin ' !
