Some people fear that if we would improve ourselves through genetic manipulation, we would all become equal. However, it must be observed that genetic similarity is not necessarily correlated with psychological similarity. Humans are more alike than any other mammalian species, and yet we are also the most psychologically diverse. Furthermore, people with higher IQs also have more varying personalities than people of average IQ. The complexity of a person's personality is proportional to his or her intelligence; it would therefore be simplistic to state that eugenics would necessarily reduce the diversity of our species; indeed, the more advanced a species is, the more diverse.
