I find it strange people are so averse to the idea there's a "normal", particularly if we confine ourselves to talking about, eg, social behavior traits. Statistically, there is, and most people cluster around being sort of that, even though no one is exactly the "norm". I think people just get used to making hyperfine distinctions within their cluster and forget how homogeneous the cluster actually is from the outside. Sort of like you can generally tell apart faces from peoples you grew up around better than ones you didn't. The truth is we do all look alike, just like outsiders see, even if the differences seem prominent to us.
