Like snowflakes, humans have a great number of properties that differ for every individual. However, the way these human properties vary from their average value is very similar for almost all of these properties. In fact: it is the same way the properties vary of objects like the snowflake that we consider as very much alike, so in this sense humans can also be seen as very much alike - they differ very little among each other as compared to other kinds of things, like apes, or snowflakes; for more detail of these variations, see The Gaussian curve here .
