All people are different from each other. This fact seems so obvious that we rarely consider why this is so. Why is someone an owl, and someone is a lark, someone loves sweet, and someone bitter, some like men, others like women, and still others are closely in the usual gender categories. Neuroscientist David Linden assessed the degree of human diversity by studying profiles on a dating site. There, as it turned out, people are especially willing to describe their characteristics - from hair color to food and sexual preferences, from household habits to allergies. “Why people are different” is an attempt to describe in one book all the facets of our uniqueness. Linden talks about genetic variability and environmental influences, from womb to adulthood, about learning and individual experience, about immunity and chemical receptors, which really do not have companions for taste and color. And although you have never doubted your own uniqueness, you will still be fascinated by learning how difficult and unpredictable the path that you had to go through for her was.
