 What traits accurately describe Sam?
"There are at least a hundred kinds of humans, each supposedly originating in strict seclusion on as many widely scattered planets. Obviously there was no contact throughout the ages before space travel— and yet each planetary race can interbreed with a minimum of ten others ! "Outside of your own world, there's nothing like your species, except superficially, and that's true of all other creatures, intelligent or not, with the sole exception of mankind. Actually, the four of us here, though it's accidental, very nearly represent the biological spectrum of human development. It's reasonable to assume that, if men were set down on a hundred such worlds, they'd seem to fit in with native life-forms on a few of them. When we project back into time those star systems on which humans existed prior to space travel, we get a certain pattern. This is one arm of it as it is today and here are the human systems." And while stars in a given region tend to remain together, there's also a random motion. It was true that Kelburn was the most advanced human type present, but while there were differences, biological and in the scale of intelligence, it wasn't as great as once was thought. We have men who could do the job in a makeshift fashion, but the region we're heading for, while mapped, is largely unknown.
