Biologically We Are All The Same

Think about it. Being born, we are biologically the same thing. We breathe air with our lungs in the exchange of CO2 and 02. We contract muscles as we accumulate rigorous exercises. We see with our retina that is composed of rods and cones that is sent, processed and interpreted in our occipital lobe. Our autonomic nervous system is divided into the parasympathetic and the sympathetic nervous system that allows us to stimulates adrenaline that allows us to survive through our evolutionary time and induce fight or flight response and maintain our level of homeostasis. Theoretically, the only difference that accounts physically is our phenotype characteristics(E.g skin, hair, eyes). But realistically, what we perceive to be simple is the reason for prejudice and racism which probably have and will be one of our hardest social epidemic to cure. Oh wait, i'm not even sure that there is a cure for prejudice and racism. Ironically, inside we really are the same. I saw in geographic channel that there is a database for the genotype of everyone all over the world and we can find out how close is our DNA materials to another individual through a simple test(extracting our blood to compare the alleles). Turns out what we do not expect, we have the possibility of being closely related that someone opposite to our "race". There was a chance that someone who is supposably Asian American but has the exact number of Allele and DNA chromosome as someone who is Nigerian. Turns out, our exterior is just a shell. Internally, we are more similar than we perceive to be. If then, why do such phenomenon as racism or prejudice exist? I will discuss this matter soon in my next entry. Till next time.
