It might seem like a stupid question, but I can't think of something that is universal to every human being. We all have different ideas and values. Sometimes people are not born with certain organs. So what is safe to say, is universal to every person regardless of all other factors?

Well, there are LOTS of things that are common to every human being. But to me, the two most important have to do with the brain.
1. Our frontal lobe cortex is 10 times larger than any other animal. This allows us to use imagination and be logical and analytical...higher-order thinking.
2. Our language centers are extremely well developed. The ability to use language...not just make noise to communicate...sets us apart from all other species and contributes heavily to our intelligence.
ALL humans have this in common...in fact, it's what makes us uniquely human. What we DO with it is another matter...Like we all have the same kind of computer, but what programs and data do we download to it?

interior a conventional framework? ROFL. Do attempt to no longer be so stupid! A man or woman, finding on the celebrities, sees stars as they have been BILLIONS of years previously our PLANET cooled, simply by fact they're that a ways away. From the time the Earth became a planet (call it hour of darkness) until eventually we people infested it, has been 23 hours, and fifty seven minutes. in the 'conventional framework' we gain zip, 0, zilch. we are of no magnitude by any potential -- different than to the quantity that we are destroying one yet another and the only planet we've... Set your aims slightly decrease. think of globally, act domestically. do no longer do unto others, as you may wish they does no longer do to you. Plant a tree. Be carbon-impartial. Hug your babies. Love life, considering the fact which you have it. coaching mindless acts of elegance, and random acts of kindness. Make somebody smile.

i don't know the first thing that popped in to my head is
Air Water Sun/Heat -- so it is universal! everyone needs it! you can't live with out!
but with idea's and values that's a personal choice! not a universal one!
and as humans we are intitled to our individuality even if we don't have a choice of what we are born with!

Death is universal.
Every human being makes things mean something. So, "meaning" is universal.
Belief is almost universal. The apparent irresistible, compulsive, obsessive "need" to believe something.
Maybe sex. Pleasure.
Maybe war.

We all have the capacity to love, even when we are born we know to love before we know anything else..Hate is a learned behavior and love is infused with our being right from the moment of birth.

the most obvious is we all are alive. once you are dead, you are no longer human.
we all have a heart, blood and a brain.
we all need to "go to the bathroom". even if we need assistance.
