The implication of this statement is that individual differences in body
types prevents any kind of understanding of the breathing mechanism that is
common to all humans. Of course, this is not true. The breathing
mechanism that is common to humans, regardless of body type is also common
to all members of our genus and species, that is, homo sapiens. It is a
common mistake to assume that we each are so individually different
anatomically. But it is a handy thought process to think this way because
it removes our need to understand our bodies as a commodity that it
universal within the species.
