  The standard model of the elementary particles is built on several
assumptions. The Higgs is assumed to be a scalar, a boson, with the charges of
a fermion (in the fundamental representations of the charge groups). No
explanation is offered for the existence of families of fermions -- quarks and
leptons-- for the charges of these family members, for the appearance of the
Yukawas which take care of fermion properties. The theory explaining the origin
of families predicts that several scalar fields with the boson kind of the
charges (in the adjoint representations of the charge groups) manifest
effectively at low energies as the Higgs and the Yukawas.
