Looks
It's an interesting thought isn't it. That at the core of our existence everyone is the same. We all are different of course, but when you truly boil it down all the same things show.
God has created us as a human kind. We all have different personalities, shapes, and thoughts. At the core we have a few things that are the same. For exsample, we all have hair, a mouth, emotions, and speak a language. Whether it be Chinese or American doesn't matter. Language being one of the biggest in the group because it separates us from the animals.
Our bodies can not be just physical. Everyone's body is apart of Gods temple. Everyone is called to Him. Whether we let this be true is up to us. 1 Corinthians 6:19 - "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own."
"Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food" --and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. "1 Corinthians 6:13. The body is meant for God. It is us that ruin it with immoratily and sin. We are made for God and His glory. Whether living for Him or not.
You call a dog a dog. Not anything else. It seems to me that even thou we inter-breed them they are still dogs. The Human Kind does look different from person to person physically. God is not physical; He is spirit. Inside our spirit there are the same needs. We all have the need of God. Our bodies are the temples of the Lord. We all have an understanding of the ten commandments with us at all times. They're known to us by nature. Our bodies know that there is a spiritual side to life. Even people who don't know God are looking for some way to explain the feeling of just knowing something is out there that is bigger then we are. That's why there are some many religions out there. People are looking for what we all know. There is a God!
Just think about how boring it would be to look down the street and see the same thing all the time. There would be no difference in how we look. Male and female would look just the same. How boring would that be? Humans have physical features that are similar in most respects. Just look at a couple people and you will note so many similarities. We are not that far different from each other. We all have the same amount of bones.[unless your a girl then you have one more rib.] Figures are used by everyone that still have them. It's not like one of us has hooves and the other feet. The body is made the same only our spirits are different.
We are created the same. Physical we are the same in many respects, but different in little areas. Like speech, thought, emotions, and appearance we are far from the same. God have put us all together in the same fashion. Psalms 139:13 - For thou didst form my inward parts, thou didst knit me together in my mother's womb. We may look different physical, and the reason why will maybe never be known. The reason is Gods and His alone. He's thoughts and actions don't need to be justified.

Matt... Your post confused me. I didn't understand large portions of it. I think I agree with some of what you said. But the parts that confused me I might not agree with. :-D

Interesting thoughts, anotherdrummer. I don't know if I know you, so I wouldn't know if you'd like my reaction to your essay, but just in case, I have a few thoughts:
1) I'm sorry, but not all humans have hair.
2) It's intriguing to think that our bodies are not "just physical." Enjoyable verses.
3) While you say that you call a dog a dog and not anything else, I say that I call my dog "Jeffry."
4) It is very evident that there is a spiritual side to life. Sometimes I get so caught up in the spirituality of our world that I neglect the physical aspects of it - its beauty, its significance, its obligations. But that's my problem.
5) God rules.
