Individuality is deeply imbued in us from the very start, at the neuronal level. Even at a motor level, researchers have shown, an infant does not follow a set pattern of learning to walk or how to reach for something. Each baby experiments with different ways of reaching for objects and over the course of severa months discovers or selects his own motor solutions.Oliver Sacks, On the Move: A Life (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2015)
