Essential Personalities, and why humans found love, adapted to monogamy and became better parents by Andrew Kennedy, B Sc. FBIS MAPSE, is a cross cultural study arguing for a revised view of the human personality. The author, an independent researcher into mind and personality, re-grouped birthdates through the year and showed a striking coincidence of an individual's core beliefs and intentions with birthdate, which led him to postulate that the modern human personality is a recently evolved trait, and one which divided modern man from other homo sapiens variants. He argues that a cyclical brain developmental pattern arose from the circadian rhythms keying patterns of personality expression to points in the solar year and suggests that this change to the way the base human personality was formed enabled better bonding between parents and thus allowed small human groups, dominated by inbreeding, to form long lasting bonds with those outside their kin-relations. It was this adaptation that enabled humans to survive in regions of complex and severe climatic variation, and provided the capability for larger human groups to cohere. Without this adaption, he argues, cities would not be possible.

The formation of the complex human social reality, then, is more precisely defined by the formation of teams rather than by the orthodox view that the human personality arose out of competition between groups. Strong mating bonds would occur between individuals who shared similarities other than genetic traits. Kennedy finds not only continuing evidence for 64 personality types that he shows are distinguishable in his work as an advisor on relationships, but also by the existence of a simple method of calculating the kinds of relationships that can arise between them. He criticises traditional views of sex-biased strategies for mating and introduced the concept of Delayed Parental Altruism, to explain studies that show both males and females with high numbers of grandchildren have lower life expectancy than those even with more children but fewer grandchildren, and shows how it improves upon classical altruism. His findings lead him to argue that the most important contribution to both individual survival and that of the group is extending parenting through to grandchildren because individuals are more likely to behave altruistically when there is a greater than chance likelihood that their genes are represented in the grandchildren's generation. Without grandchildren, parents are less likely to sacrifice themselves for the common good and so live longer causing a trend in the group to become moribund and less able to adapt to environmental circumstances. The implications for the world may be significant. As rising GDP encourages parents to have fewer children, populations will age and become more selfish. Kennedy's also notes that because increasing social freedoms and mobility will undoubtedly increase the likelihood of individuals finding their best mating partner, birth rates in the developed world will, contrary to orthodox population dynamics, start to rise in the 21st century. His work also has implications for space travel and human-created intelligences. He points out that even if artificial intelligences possess artificial empathy constructed to make working with them easier for humans, will have severe personality disorders (see Artificial Intelligence) since they are unlikely to have the similar human personality fundamentals that connect humans to the natural world and to each other.
