Perhaps our common traits result from the strategies our selfish genes use to survive the clever and relentless competition they face on our remarkable planet. Human nature makes up the first layer of the architecture for interaction. Although human nature cannot be changed, we can certainly make choices and change how we apply ourselves." - Leland R. Beaumont
