I started this list on the 25 Feb 07, stopped an hour later, and have hardly looked at it since. There maybe some argument, and definitely more additions, but I was hoping that it may be interesting.
Things Common to all living Humans.
We are conscious
We are all aware of our own existence
We are Inhabitants of 1 Planet.

We are Organic, Containing Carbon ,Nitrogen,Oxygen,Hydrogen Based Compounds
We can all have the capacity to produce viable offspring
Our Structure is encoded in D.N.A. which enables duplication of cells, and individuals
We are all in the animal Kingdom
We are all Primates
We are the Same Species.
We all...

Part 2
You can't make someone believe something if they don't want to
Our belief is conscious decision to commit to an assumption
The assumption may be True or False, but it may not be within our capacity to prove or disprove
We aspire to have the capacity and understanding to have our beliefs confirmed or rebutted
We are all aware of Death
Any conclusions involving death involve assumptions which are formulated according to the information available, and manifest themselves in our beliefs, our opinions and our actions
We cannot comprehend Oblivion
We are all aware of the passage of time
We pass through each second only once
We like it when people agree with us
We can only be in one place at a time
We all want to be loved

Pokkets, I would really love to help you on your list but I need a guideline or two so I can stay on track.

We are all surface-dwelling air breathing sexually reprodicing creatures of emotion and tradition.

That may be hard to specify, we all seem to be random variables.
A Paradox.
Dr Zeus looking after the left hand side of the Brain, With Mr Spock looking after the right. (I know it's Mr, but I'm sure he picked up a Phd somewhere, but he didn't believe in Vulcan boasting.) I know the list is fairly vague, but it seemed like a way of pointing out how trivial some of the differences we have are compared to the similarities, it might not say anything we don't know, but might start a few interesting conversations and discussions. However as they say it's the differences that make life interesting. I suppose everyone who made a list, would have a different list.

Pokkets and Skwilinator: These are some very cool lists and ideas. Any of them would be a great focal point for looking for people to video. Thanks for the really positive spin...I think this Pangaea Day is an excellent idea.....all across the World.....so humbling.
