We only have to recollect that Aristotle found mind (active nous) impersonal and universal, while the body, with the functions depending upon it, seemed to furnish the individual substrate, and that Thomas Aquinas makes the body the principle of individuation, without which human souls, like the angels, would merge into the genus.
