Human variability, or human variation, is the range of possible values for any characteristic, physical or mental, of human beings.
This article or section possibly contains synthesis of material which does not verifiably mention or relate to the main topic. (April 2018) |
Frequently debated areas of variability include cognitive ability, personality, physical appearance (body shape, skin color, etc.) and immunology. Variability is partly heritable and partly acquired (nature vs. nurture debate). As the human species exhibits sexual dimorphism, many traits show significant variation not just between populations but also between the sexes.
